Carl's Blackout Cloth, Projector Screen Material, White, Gain 1.0 (16:9 | 66x110 | 128-in | Rolled) Projection Screen/Movie Screen Fabric

Simply a great projector screen. HUGE! I have a large room bigger than an average apartment living room and my Optoma HD141X sitting about 30ft. back can only fill about 80% of this screen. This is a DoItYourself kind of screen which saves you so much money over cheap, limited pre-crafted screens on their own mounts and such. Some of the cheapest roll-up screens (roll up like window blinds) are $200 so you could buy 4 of these screens and still come par with the price and surpass the quality. PROS - 1.0 gain for perfect reflection - 16:9 (so many are still 4:3) - HUGE, HUGE - Price - High quality, darn near perfect quality of the special reflective coating over the cloth CONS - Cloth they choose to use to coat in their special reflective coating is INSANELY easy to wrinkle. Even when you unroll it and staple it onto the wall/frame immediately, just holding the corners makes this thing wrinkle - Ironing the back does not remove wrinkles effectively or at all - Hanging the screen does not remove wrinkles over time. I had to fly out of state so I folded my 1st Carl's screen and after ironing it for 2 hours plus letting it hang on the frame for 30 days the wrinkles were barely lessened at all even after stretching over and over. - Rips easier than a fart - Heavier than it seems. You need to hang this properly or else its weight will crinkle corners where nails/staples are and worsen over time. Wood is definitely required for support like a picture frame. The cons are to be expected to a degree but a thicker cloth would have been appreciated to at least help prevent rips and sagging over time. Overall, this is still one of (if not) the best DIY projector screen on the market for its price and quality.

Paid the extra $10 and ordered the rolled version to eliminate the hassle of dealing with creases. Product came rolled as ordered with no creases and size was bang on to the stated measurements. The directions to build the screen on Carl's sight were very helpful, although I deviated slightly. Watched my first movie last night and it was amazing. Picture looked bright and eye popping. Because I'm from Canada, the converted price was almost $65 CAD ($50 US) but well worth it. Up North here fixed 120 inch screens aren't cheap. So, this cloth along with Carl's black felt was a great deal compared to buying a fixed screen. Given that my BenQ W1070 was only $900, it didn't make sense to me to spend $500 or more just for a screen. Overall, I'm very impressed with the final product. The black felt adds a nice touch of elegance.

My son and I built a 115" screen for our home theater for under $75! We built a simple frame with 1x4s and then stapled the screen to the frame. We stapled it following a progressively shorter distance between the staples, starting at 12", down to 2", pulling the screen tight along the way. The screen is perfectly flat and even. I highly recommend receiving it rolled as it was clean, free of creases, and easy to layout. The screen works beautifully in a very dark room. I considered going with a higher gain, but it wasn't necessary. It's primary use is for an XBox 360 and the games look absolutely amazing.

It’s a very good screen but the picture quality wasn’t great. The projector works great with it but you can’t see anything with the lights on at all. And when it is dark the picture doesn’t show up well. It’s also very easily ripped and stained.

I bought the rolled one 66'x110" and it arrived on time, packaged nice and had no wrinkles or creases. At first I wasn't sure I could get it flat enough, but it stretches well and still stays durable.I live in an apartment, and my walls are textured and uneven so I made a frame with (2) 1.5"x96"s and (2) 1.5"x60"s (I had two 96"s cut down for me at the store) at $1.97 each, fastened them together with 4 'L' brackets at $2.45 for the pack and stuck felt wall protectors on the back $3.25. All bought at the local home supply store. Because the wood was soft enough I only needed to use white thumbtacks to stretch the material onto the frame. I hung the frame with a few plant hooks $1.50 and cord. Then I used push pins on the excess material around the edges to keep the whole thing flush against the wall. That was all for under $15 ! I finished it of with a couple of cheap drapery panels on each side. Looks great and the picture quality is definitely a lot better than when I was using the bare wall. Easy-peasy!

Works well for a projection screen. Paid extra to have it sent in a roll as opposed to folded but could tell it had been previously folded. Didn't effect my movie night however. Good product but make sure you get what you pay for.

You DO NOT need to buy This expensive crapola. I bought this same material at Joann's Fabric for $13 for 4 yards....with plenty of leftover material

It's a pretty good material for your first DIY screen. I'm using a Optoma GT1080 and I built my own frame (125") and stapled this to it. I'm also using 1" black felt tape for my border. Was fairly easy to work with and looks pretty good. I compared this material to the flexiwhite and flexigray and it's somewhere in between those two. The whites aren't as dull as the flexigray, and the blacks aren't as faded as the flexiwhite. But the colors don't pop quite as nice as the flexiwhite. I still would like to upgrade to a ALR screen some day, but I can't use my short throw if I do. Still when all the lights are out and the sun is down it looks pretty damn good to me.
