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 an amazing bargain, and truly puts the "theater" in home theater. We were trying to decide between the 100" and the 120". If your room can manage the 120", go for it. It's fantastic.
This is solid and easy to install, and the opening mechanism feels stable and smooth. The material is even, no creases or waves, and colors show up crisply without any issues.
One great thing to note is that this screen is compatible with the Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote with Color Touch Screen, so you can set up your Harmony remote to automatically open your screen when you turn everything on. If you don't have a Harmony Remote, there's also an optional wireless trigger out that you can get from Elite Screens and hook up to your projector, so that when you turn your projector on, it sends a signal to the screen that opens it.
You can get more expensive screens with tension, higher gains, or made of acoustic mesh so that your speakers can go right behind it, but this is a perfect entry-level price that does not feel or look entry-level at all.

These screens are fantastic... the value for the money is incredible. I've had several over the years, and especially glad to have one in white now, to match the ceiling and go "low profile".
Hilights:
**Motorized feature is great for the "wow" factor when friends visit... saves you the hassle of yanking down a screen (and perhaps yanking it out of the ceiling if something catches).
**The image on screen is MUCH better than projected on a wall. I projected on white walls for years and was dumbfounded what I had been missing by not using a screen. If you're projecting on a wall, GET A SCREEN!
**The remotes are line of sight, so be aware of this when mounting. The screen does come with a little IR extender, but it's not the greatest design.
**The price for a screen this size is unheard of in the industry. It's an incredible deal, especially when coupled with a 1080p projector and bluray... you'll be blown away.
**Customer Services is AWESOME. They heard about my troubles out of the box (see below) and sent me a new screen, only asking for a section of the "old" screen to be cut out and sent in with the remotes. They sent the replacement via courrier at their expense. THAT is excellent customer service.
LowPoints:
**The screen brackets were bent out of the box... I had to bend back to get it to line up correctly and the powder-coated paint chipped off where the bends were. Not a huge deal, but lame for a brand-new out of the box experience.
**The screen had some white 'fingerprints' that were, while feint, still surprising to see... Someone in the factory obviously handled it while it was not dry or something... BUT as I mentioned above, the company made good.
**Do NOT order the $18 universal remote control or the $18 projector mount (they are advertised on materials shipped with the screen). The remote couldn't learn ANY of our electronics (Sony, Pioneer, Time Warner cable box, etc.) and the projector mount looks like it's for a barbie kit. No bueno.
Regardless of my (probably rare) bad experience, these screens are an AMAZING value for the money. Just look it over carefully when you unbox it. If it looks good, you can count on years of service and all your friends going "wow"!

Pair of BLACK Headrest 7" LCD Car Monitors with Region Free DVD player USB SD Inc. Wireless Headhones and 32 Bit Games Review

I purchased this through Amazon, but the sub-supplier handled complaints and return of the product. I am glad that I had Amazon backing up this purchase.
After reading several other reviews on this product, I was prepared for some of the issues. The biggest issue is the Chinese to English translation in the operations manual (not the installation). You need to sit down with a cup of coffee and read these directions first with the product in front of you. There is a Chinese website that is more useful than the instruction manual, or the supplier.If you have a 12 VDC power supply, it is worth it to sit down and figure out all the controls and make sure everything functions before you install these.
The adapter rods are of course too small in diameter for today's American Made vehicles. So I twice wrapped them top to bottom with black electrical tape. That seemed to make them snug enough to fit.
Hooking up the wiring was relatively easy. My problem came after I had installed them and after playing for 5 minutes, one of the LCD screens went totally blank. The supplier company required me to package everything back up and Fedex picked them up the next day. One week later, my returned package arrived at their business in New York. After a few phone calls, they then shipped a new set which arrived in three days. I tested the new headsets for an hour before installing them. I didn't want to have that problem again.
The game CD have nothing on them. they are blank. So I guess you have to go to their website, download the games compresed to your computer, open the games, then transfer them to the CD.
Make sure your headsets work. If you have 2 kids in the car and they are watching different DVDs, the sound is maddening. Remember the speakers are right behind your head times 2.
So far I am pleased with the equipment. I had three previous vehicles that came from the factory with entertainment systems and we liked them all. But with my latest car purchase, I didn't want to spend $1200 more for factory installed DVD systems, so I thought this was a good investment. If in the future these DVD players break, I can just re-install original headrest. At least for now the grandkids are occupied on long trips.
I rated this a '3' because the operating instructions are difficult to understand, and that I had to wait two more weeks for a good set to arrive. The supplier did handle the problem without question..they just wanted to confirm there was something wrong with them.
