Elite Screens VMAX2 Electric projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-150in (Max White) Review

I bought this screen along with the Optoma HD20 High Definition 1080p DLP Home Theater Projector (Grey) for my home theater and it shows a fabulous picture.
Out of the box it was well assembled and the only thing required of me were my own mounting screws. I was pleased to see an RF and IR remote included for operating the screen as well as the optional wall mount switch with an optional 12V toggle.
Installation was simple, my friend and I mounted it to wall studs and finished in about 30 minutes. Like I said, all you need to buy are your choice of mounting screws as the case ships fully assembled and ready to mount. It takes about 40 seconds for the screen to completely lower or raise up. This is by design since this isn't a tensioned screen. If the motor were too fast, the screen might get folded up during rolling and cause a nasty crease or wrinkle like a window shade that went up too fast. The slow retraction makes sure this doesn't happen. This doesn't bother me anyway because it takes me longer than that to warm up the projector and find a Blu-Ray to watch. The electric motor is very quiet too as a bonus.
The quality of the screen material was astounding. I had heard some users having wrinkled screens but my screen turned out nice and smooth. Colors and blacks turn out nicely on it when watching movies. Let me tell you also, 150 inches of real-estate looks flat-out beautiful. Words cannot describe it.
I have to give this a 5-star rating because it exceeded what my original expectations were and has really enhanced my home theater experience for a really good price. Good luck.

This screen is very poorly made. I purchased one and looks great at first, but when I tried to use it, the nightmare began. The up and down stops did not work so the motor would stop at unpredictable locations. The remote control did not work at all, in fact the internal parts were loose and rattling. The manual control box cover is not designed to fasten tightly on the base, so it just pops off when it is hadled. The literature that accompanies the screen is very brief, hardly descriptive, and premature to be distributed with production units.
I called the manufacturer for help with this, before trying to return it, because shipping is expensive for these large items. To make a long story short, they first sent me a new remote, it didn't work either. They sent me instructions to set the up and down stops myself, they didn't work either. Then a new manual control box, the wrong one. I got a new unit, the screen was all wrinkled. Speaking with customer service, they were helpful but limited in capacity. A month later I bought a different screen.
The screen is trouble.

This is an excellent screen. It works as you would expect, it was shipped with high quality packaging, and the picture looks great on it. I've read a few reviews complaining about the quality, but for the few months I have had this product I cannot understand those complaints. The material is heavy duty, and the motor works fine. Perhaps a person who is very knowledgable in home theater could find some fault, but for me -- certainly not an expert but someone who enjoys a nice viewing experience -- I really can't find any flaws in this product.
The manual is pathetic, but a few minutes of searching on the web led me to answers (such as how to adjust the black at the top of the screen).

I bought this screen about less than a month ago....i tell ya, it may not be a draper, Stewart or dalite which i prefer but i really like this screen a lot! Great picture, and i bought this screen for $467 with overnight shipping included!!!! That's pretty good! Especially for a tension screen that has a pretty good reputation for affordable screens...oh and their customer service it pretty great tooo...Adrain silva....great guy and very helpful....Got this cine-grey model and was a little worried it might be too dim but it actually looks awesome!!!! It may give the other big companies a run for their money that;s for sure! It has a 1.1 gain on and the movies looks amazing!!!! I use a mitsubishi hc5500 ( super nice projector too). My wife even loves watching in our basement now even if it's a guy flick and my kids watch their favorite disney movies too even thought they've seen it a million times already....if you find a deal like i did, buy it...for the price i paid it's almost the price for a new lower end spectrum series Elite screen sells...Great job Elite Screens! I'm very happy with this screen!

The packaging is long. I had to move it to another location after I bought it and it barely fit into my Sienna minivan. Was a little worried since there's no other reviews, but glad to say everything went pretty smooth. Two negatives, 1) The package was missing the mason anchors, not a big deal since I wasn't going to install it in a brick wall or anything, but still...missing.
2) The screws that came with the screen are questionable. This screen is close to 60 lbs and they give screws I wouldn't trust to hold up my bicycle. I went to home depot and got the 5/16" lag screws that were 3" long. I live in CA and don't want this falling on me in case there's an earthquake.
It was mounted on my ceiling but I didn't need the full 24" black drop. The Elite adjustment pdf was totally wrong. They have since updated the pdf: [...] and it looks about right (expect Figure 10 and Figure 12 should be swapped). Adjust the black drop is the yellow hole, not the grey one. For me, turning it clockwise 1 full circle made the black drop retract 1/2". I didn't need 10", so I made 20 clockwise circles with my allen wrench in the yellow hole while it's fully retracted in the housing case. Then you lower it to see how close you came and you can now make minor adjustments (up/down) turning the yellow hole. Always good to fully retract the screen and then lower after your adjustment to see the final result.
60 lbs in not that heavy, but you will need 2 ppl to install this mainly because of the size of the screen. My Epson 8700ub looks great on this screen.

Purchased this screen for use in my first home theatre. This screen came via special courier well packaged and was easy to install. In my case I mounted it to the ceiling using supplied lag bolts into joists behind the drywall. Screen comes with many control options, RF, Infared and Hardwire possibilities. Hardwire can be easily accomplished by using RJ45 connectors and standard ethernet type cabling since the screen has a female RJ45 connector and the wired control using has an RJ45 male plug.
Screen is easy to adjust, the manual is a bit hard to understand regarding which way to turn the adjustment screws to set the screen down height but careful adjustment and testing frequently solves that problem in short order. The extra black surface at the top of a nice touch allowing the screen to be lowered to a good viewing height when mounted against or in the ceiling.
Tension is controlled on each side with a guide wire and keeps the screen flat at all times, the surface is a bright white and provides a great picture in all but the brightest lit rooms. My installation is in the basement with controlled ambient light so this is not a problem, I probably will consider a grey screen in the future that allows for better blacks in the picture but that's nitpicking.
I highly recommend this screen for use in a home theatre, especially when paird with an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 Home Theatre Projector (V11H336120)

I purchase this screen for my church worship service. I wasn't sure how really big it was or how it was going to look. I was surprised when it arrived how really big it was. It's a huge screen. Setup was easy. It came with two remotes plus the wall control which I didn't even bother to install. The wireless remote works from about 75 or more feet away. What i love about it is that you can stop it whereever you chose when rolling up or down. The screen rolls down fine and rolls back up without any problems whatsoever. I have been using this for 1 year now and I am extremely happy with my purchase. Elite screen rocks. It looks perfect.

Elite Screens are very cheaply made... I bought the Cinetension 2 and only after 5 months the screen gears had let go and the screen came unrolling out of the case.
The materal is very thin and the tension string does not really do anything.
Very Poor design.... DO NOT BOUGHT FROM Elite Screens.
