Projection Screens

Invest in projection screens that fit your company's work style and budget

Your company’s need for projector screens will determine what type of screen you should invest in. You have many choices including electric screens, fixed frame screens, manual screens and portable projection screens.

Electric projector screens for sale offer you three different types: wall mount, ceiling mount, and tensioned screen. Electric projector screens are optimal if you are wanting your a/v projection screen to be hidden when not in use, and if you have a large budget. Downsides, though, are that you need an electrical outlet, and they require structural reinforcement to mount.

Fixed frame projector screens for sale offer you a style like a mounted picture. Manual screens offer you a pull-and-release system that allows you to lower them to a desired level. Portable projection screens are easily transportable for you and are a favorite of road presenters and traveling trainers.

To determine which projection screens best suit your need:

1. Determine what projector screen appeals to you.

2. Assess the room that you to install your projector in.

3. Make sure that you have the correct support to hold the screen if you want an electric system. If not, determine if creating that system falls within your budget.

 

Determine what types of projector screens suit your room

Aesthetically and functionally, ask yourself what type of projection screens will fit your room. If you have the budget, electric screens look the best. If you have to be more cost conscious, a fixed frame or a manual projection screen will suit you better.
Try: Check out illustrations of each type at The Projector Pros. Picture what your ideal screen is. Figure out if it will realistically match both your needs and that of the room.

Look online for suppliers of projection screens

Looking online helps you price compare and offers you the best selection in one sitting.
Try: Projector People have a comprehensive website that helps you easily select your screen. The Projection Screen store has a large variety as well as a whole page devoted to screens costing under $100. They also offer you free shipping on many models.

Consider a used projector screen for sale

Used projection screens, especially a used portable projection screen, give you a cost savings that might better fall in line with your budget.
Try: Check out B&H's selection of used screens. B&H is a high quality company that has over 170,000 products to offer you the consumer. Audio Visions Inc. also has a wide variety of used projection equipment, including screens.

Consider rear projection screens for well lit rooms

Rear projection screens are suitable in situations where you will require more normal room lighting (e.g. if people are taking notes). They will allow you to walk in front of the projection screen without casting large shadows, and a rear projection system is quieter.
Try: Da-Lite offers you a great source for a number of high quality rear projection systems.

 

• Make sure that your projector suits the needs of your projection screen. You don't want to invest in a high tech screen, and then come to find out that your projector and screen are incompatible.
• Budget in installation costs if you are not an AV installation wizard.
