Set up your own theatre with a projector screen
If you have a projector, the best accessory is a projector screen. A projector screen gives you the perfect large screen space to project movies, TV shows, and video games.
Sizes and types of projector screen
Projector screens are available in various types including outdoor projector screens, portable projector screens, and pull down projector screens. You’ll find projector screens in various sizes including 40”, 60”, 80”, and 100”. The most popular size projector screen is 100”, but you can find sizes as large as 135”.
Advantages of having a projector screen
There are a lot of advantages to having a projector screen, and the first one is that it will give you a smoother image than a bare wall. When you project content to a bare wall you’ll see every imperfection including nail holes and outlets. Anything except for a smooth, white space will take away from what you are watching.
Wall colour will affect what your projected video will look like, so another advantage to a portable projector screen is that it’s a plain, white square. It offers you the optimal space to project because wall colour can make an image look too dark or too light.
You can find projector screens with a matte finish and black border so your video content will look like you’re watching in a big screen theater. If you want to set up an outdoor theatre in the summer, an outdoor projector screen will give you a dedicated space to project your content and help you control any ambient light that’s affecting your video quality.
Different kinds of projector screens
There are a few different kinds of projector screens you can choose. A fixed frame projector screen uses tension rods to stretch a canvas on your wall. This type of projector screen is hung like a picture frame and doesn’t roll up when not in use.
A motorized projector screen is a projector screen that’s hung on your wall or celling, and it uses a remote control to roll up and down when you’d like to use it. A motorized projector screen is similar to a manual projector screen, but the manual screen uses a pull tab to pull the screen out and roll it back up. This type of screen is also called a pulldown projector screen.
You can also choose a portable projector screen, and this type sits on a tripod or projector stand. Portable projector screens are usually manual, and you can fold them up and take them anywhere. Many people will use this type as an outdoor projector screen.
