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

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.

I highly recommend purchasing this on a roll, instead of folded. I purchased the roll, and not only does it come in better shape, but you have the roll and box to store the fabric in if you decide to remove it for transport. I have used this for many months with no issues. I have had some trouble with trying to find a non-permanent way to affix it to the wall, but that is not the fault of the manufacturer. In the end, I used velcro to affix it to the wall, but any double-sided tape should work. I think it also depends on how humid your home is, as to how well it will stick. I have put creases in this fabric before, but they eventually fall out on their own, so don't stress. If it doesn't seem to be flattening out the way you'd like, you can try applying a VERY light steam to it with a fabric steamer to help it relax. Don't let it get so hot that it melts, just a light steam should get wrinkles out.

The products is great. I used it for outdoor projection and it works great. We only have a 1800 lumens projector but this screen still looks good even before dark. I would suggest not to use the felt tape if you are not using a permanent installation. It will stop you from getting the right amount of tension.

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 clothCONS- 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.

i have a phonect mx5 and went from a white sheet to this . wow the picture is unreal ! the projector , screen and wood came to $250 and we now have a 112 inch tv thats ran off my $80 dell t5500 cpu and free sony 510 receiver . best money ive ever invested in ever !!

Have had up a year no swag. All because of some dad and son on youtube showed me how.

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.

Very good product I was just under the impression that it would be vinyl instead of cloth
