3 Types Of Home Theater Projector Screen
Wednesday, January 9, 2008
Nowadays, the types of home theater projector screen is mind-boggling. The terms used for home theater projection screen is also technical and many people do not actually understand what they are buying.
If you are looking to buy a home theater projector screen, you need to first know the different types of home theater projector screens available on the market. There are 3 types.
1) Fixed Home Theater Projector Screen
These are the most general and the simplest projector screens. They are usually eternally mounted on the wall once the home theater room design and presentation is settled. One benefit is you can hide those ugly wires and cables quite easily with this type of installation.
The home theater screen material is stretched onto a wooden or aluminum structure and is held into place with fasteners. This creates the smooth and wrinkle free white surface. It’s important that the home theater projection screen surface is smooth and tightly held together to prevent any creases over time.
Characteristically, the home theater speakers are then placed either behind or at the sides of the home theater projector screen. This will provides a better movie watching experience equivalent to your local cinemas.
If you decide to place the speakers behind the home theater screen, you might want to consider using a transparent home theater screen fabric. The main advantage is it allows the sound to pass through the transparent fabric maintaining the acoustic sound of the home theater speakers.
2) Tripod Home Theater Projector Screens
These types of screen are portable and suitable for temporary meeting, outdoor movie screening and conducting training. They can be transported easily since they can be folded and slip inside a luggage for easy carrying.
It is cheaper than a standard home theater projector screen and is smaller so it is not suitable for use if you want to watch movies.
3) Wall Mounted Retractable Home Theater Projector Screen
These types are installed on the wall or even to the ceiling. They can allow the projector screen to be retracted when not watching. It’s available in both manual and electronic versions and can be quite expensive. Unless your home is short in space or you do not have a dedicated home theater room, it is not necessary to have it.
They are probably other hybrid models of home theater projector screens available but these 3 are the most common and widely used at the moment.

Projector Screen Rentals
Monday, October 15, 2007
Projector screens are used to project data and video. Screens can be made of material such as the conventional cloth materials like bedsheets, tarp and synthetic material. For informal occasions such as outdoor residential movies, the former are used. For formal occasions and also for movie shows for large gatherings, synthetic white material is used. Sometimes, even walls are used as projector screens.
Projector screens come in various sizes. The screen size depends upon the lens of the projector. For short throw lenses, i.e. the lens that produces the largest image in the shortest distance, big screens may be chosen. This is ideal in a small room gathering. For long throw lens, i.e. the lens that produces small image from large distances, small screens may be chosen. This is ideal for projections from a booth or stall.
Projector screens are measured by the diagonal distance of the image needed. Alternatively, screens can be chosen according to the distance of the projector from the screen. The width of the screen is half the length of the projector from the screen; i.e. if the distance is 16 feet, then the width of the screen is 8 feet.
The screens come as accessories and the rental rate start from $30. Almost all of the projector rental companies have stocks of screens.
The competition to the screen rental comes in the form of residential as hoc screens such as bed sheets and tarp. Bed sheets with a mix of colors are hung to give better picture. Outdoor projector screens are in demand during summer when one would prefer to have outdoor parties. For conferences and meetings, sometimes flat panel displays and plasma screens replace the conventional screens.
