I initiatly spent three weeks looking for the perfect screen in my budget(under $400). I wanted an electric screen with a size of atleast 92". After looking around, I found that with my budget it would be very tough to find something to my liking. I then found the Elite V-Max. It boasts a huge 101" 16:9 screen, perfect for HDTV. At the price it was going for, I could not resist. I quickly ordered and three days later it was at my door.
When I saw it for the first time I couldn't belive how long it was. The box it was shipped in had to be over 100"(8.3ft) long. I did not like the way it was package it the box. There were just four little peices of styfo foam supporting the screen. The product did arrive in great shape, so that might be sufficent enough. Once I had the product out of box, I quickly mounted it on the wall of my new home theater room. This screen is very heavy and ackward, so a second person is a must. The wiring for the screen is very simple. A five foot single wire connects to the top right of the metal casing with a simple locking connector. The controller box then plugs into that and has about a seven foot cord to plug into the wall.
The screen takes about thirty seconds to come fully down, but most projectors take about a minute to warm up, so this is not a problem. There is also a way to adjust the screen stopping distance, but I have not had to use it. The 18" black header is also nice so you don't get destracted to the ceiling. The fabric of the screen also seems to be made of a nice thick high quality material, which can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Some things to consider with this large of screen is the size of it. The screen width itself is 91" wide. You do need a good size wall to place it on. The projector also needs to go back a little further. Iam using an Infocus IN74 EX projector and it needs to be mounted about sixteen feet back for it to fill the whole screen. Some other projects may require twelve to eighteen feet to fill the whole screen. It is also very heavy, so the mounts need to be screwed into the studs, not just drywall. It comes with two remotes, one RF and one IR, so this is a definate plus. They seem very cheap and flimsy, so I do not use them. I have a learing universal remote, so I use that instead. I would recomend doing the same.
Overall, I love this screen! I am very impressed with the build and quality. The price is also unbeatable. They could ask much more for this screen and I would buy it again. I give this screen two thumbs up and the remote controlls a thumbs down. If you are looking for a great screen on a budget, this is the screen for you. Buy Vmax 16:9 Ez-electric Projection Screen!
