Side by Side Comparison of: Epson vs Link Depot vs CASEMATIX

Excellent, great luminosity, no signs of wearing it, which for a refurbished projector means that it was very well taken cared off, easy to navigate, came with all accessories, even the batteries.

Okay, Pros:
-Great deal of Lumens (3000 True lumens) great deal on a lighten environment.
-No scratches nor dims
-All original accessories and bag
-Wide connectivity options
-UI user friendly
-Remote has a verified 40ft range front and back.

Cons
The only thing that it was a little disappointing was the fact that the screen is not a perfect square, top left corner is a bit out of square which is kind of uncomfortable for the one that notices it, it is very slight but it's there

Other thoughts: beside the con, it can be worked around, simply zoom out and make the edge overlap the black edge of the screen, play a bit with the lifter knobs and position of the projector and it's fairly unnoticeable.

great projector.. did exactly what I wanted it for. I really like being able to plug in a thumb drive full of JPeg files and run thru them like a tray of slides.
plug it into an HP windows 10 lap top and project the screen on the wall .. works perfect.

Just got it 2 days ago. Easy set up don't require any adjustments unless you need to adjust your picture display to fit the screen no unneeded set up. The instruction guide to the point not a lot of unnecessary talk. Excellent quality view. Shows good when lights on and in dark room. Light weight, nice carrying case. When delivered also contained 2 cords to use HDMI and USB. Packaged well. Remote is good it has a pointer haven't used it yet. I also bought the Epson Duet 80 inch Projector Screen and the picture displays very good on the screen. EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY Glad i got it. For the price i think i got a winner when i look at some of the more pricier Projectors i am trying to figure out what more they can offer than this one. I primarily purchased the Projector for presentations but it also work well with videos. Will add screenshots to show some viewing.

Awesome projector for the price!! Image is very bright, and clear! We now have a home theater which is really cool!

Works great, bright display, easy to connect and use. I use this for conferences and the room does not have to be pitch black to be able to see the projections.

We ordered this screen for our wedding. We'd put together a slideshow and while a friend lent us a projector, his screen was way too large to transport to our venue, even when packed.The screen's cost is reasonable, especially when you consider that as a Prime User, I was able to hVe it over-nighted for something like $16 (it's heavier than the typical $3.99 items Prime does over night). Especially when you consider that Best Buy or PC Richards (NY) don't carry screens in house nor do they easily allows for same-day in store pickup (believe me, I tried).It packs up compact and was super easy to set up. We popped it open in wide screen and the ~200 guests all saw it easily without any problems. The wedding venue's people had no trouble folding it back up and storing it for us to pick up later.I couldn't be happier. When folded it's about as long as an adult male's leg and 1.5-2x as thick. Not bad for the max inches it can support.

I like the mechanism, the way it packs up, used it in a room with about 250 people in it, the powerpoint and video were both clearly visible and a reasonable size. I like the way it clicks when opening to show you where the 4:3 point is, yet opens fully for 16:9 hd videos. My only problem was the stand is very short, made for a living room rather than a public gathering where you need more height. However, the stand/screen are made with the same diameter of a PA speaker stand, and by using one of those, I was able to put the screen up to the height (about 8 foot at the top) I needed for the presentation. It worked very well for me.

The form factor to this product is fantastic. There are a few issues that I can comment on below...1) My problem is that I travel and I want to take this with me. My solution was to use a hard shell golf bag with wheels. You can check the bag into most airlines without a problem. The Duet Dimensions are 46.2 x 12.2 x 9.3 inches. A typical card shell golf bag has a total height of 51 inches, total interior height 47.5 inches, total interior width 11 inches, and total interior depth at 12.5 inches. This easily fits the Duet requirements. I usually wrap the Duet in a towel to prevent a lot of movement in the case. You can buy a used hard shell case for $40 is you look around.2) When I first stretched out the Duet, I noticed a wrinkle down the center of the screen (see the photo). I was a little concerned about it. I decided to leave the screen open for a while to see what would happen. The wrinkle dissipated enough within a day to be OK.3) The issue with the height of the screen has been mentioned before. It would be handy if the height was several inches taller, but that would extend the overall folded dimensions of the product (and no longer fit in my golf bag). Fortunately, the top of the tripod has a plastic guide that easily comes off. For the times I need the screen to be a little taller, I take the guide off and insert another pole down the shaft of the tripod. It took some looking to find a suitable size. I will post a photo the next time I have this set up.Overall, it is a great product and meets my needs at a great price...

I really like this screen.• EASE OF USE: Super easy. Detache base, flip the legs open & slide screen body onto base. Then, unhook both sides of screen, and slide out as far as needed. Literally no more than 90 seconds.• QUALITY: Screen is super white, easy to clean, and unit is well put together. Sure, if you're rough with things you'll break an important piece if plastic. That's on the rough person. We all know YOU take care of your equipment and treat it to last for the long haul. That being said, it is not a fragile piece of equipment.• USES: I use it for business and pleasure. I initially purchased it, along with a video projection unit, to splash presentations up on something other than whatever wall is available. I have a non profit and give presentations to individuals, groups, business and corporations. I wanted something that looked great & refused professionalism without being bulky and unwieldy. All folded up, this fits perfectly into the back of my Jeep JK 2door, not a vehicle known for it's roominess!I also set it up in my living room, and run my BluRay/DVD player through the projection unit. People love it. I love it. Heck, I run my NetFlix through it. It's isually just set up in the corner waiting to be unfolded & used.• WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN: Absolutely, positively yes.Any questions, let 'em fly! :)Dug Shelby[...]

Its nice to be over-impressed when you open up a new item you've bought off Amazon. The reviews are critical to the buyer and these were to me. I had to throw my two cents in: This product is killer.I teach a class once a month and needed a good portable screen to replace my ancient mid-60's projector screen. Some of my students complained my old projector and screen were too small and dim. I bought this one after checking the reviews. I am beyond pleased.It's well made and, as a result, a tad heavy, but not overly so. Pretty heavy duty stand holds it nicely stable at a great height (base of screen 33 inches off floor, top, 76 off floor). Folds up for travel in a flash. Built for many years of travel. I have accidentally walked into my office in the dark when the screen was set up and whacked it pretty hard. There is plenty of mass and "wiggle" to the design so no damage was done. I absolutely love this design!As for the comment on screen curl, I found a very simple solution: Curl the screen back in the middle, about 6 inches either side of center on the top and bottom edge. Don't "crease it." Just bend it back over nearly 180 degrees and that provides a little "strength girder" to the center span which solves the issue of screen distortion completely. I did mine once and it has lasted for a couple weeks but it's quick and easy to do and results in a perfectly flat screen.Combined with my new Viewsonic DLP 5133 projector, I am literally light years ahead of my old system. My students will be pleased and my presentation will be that much more professional.If you need a KILLER portable screen, or a home use screen where you either mount it on the wall or stand it on the tripod slightly away from the wall, grab one of these before EPSON raises the price to $299 where it belongs!Suggestion for EPSON: Charge another $5 and provide a nice fabric bag to keep dust and wooly-boogers out of this nice unit during transport. It is so nice! (I'll probably end up making my own...)UPDATE: After rolling out the new screen and projector combo for my last class, I had to pass on how positive the comments were from our students. They loved it!

If you set-up and take-down the screen often, this is a great choice! About 25lbs. in weight, it's easy to setup and take down in about 10 seconds. This isn't the perfect screen, but to me it's the best on the market, so here's what you need to know. This is still the screen to buy at this time!- The screen curls a little at the top after a bit of use. If you set your projector to cover the entire screen, people might notice the slight curling at the top. I originally stuck a crocheted beanie cap on the center post behind the top center during setup to push the top of the screen forward, but an easier way, and I do this now, is to just curl the top edge of the screen forward, and hold it like that for a few seconds. Sort of reversing the curl. I do this maybe... once a week, if I can remember. It's not that big of a deal, really. After over a year, my two screens have the curling on the top, so just curl forward, hold for a bit, and good to go for the video presentation.- While it's smaller than most traditional screens lengthwise (about half the length) it is still a bit heavy, so if you're hauling this to and from your car, think about getting an over-the-shoulder messenger bag or something similar for your projector/laptop setup if you're hauling everything at once.- It's an 80-inch widescreen picture, and it's quite impressive when you're viewing something that fills the screen. If Epson came out with a larger screen Duet, I'd be on it in a heartbeat! This is a quality portable screen and the bigger the better.- You can't really mount this on the wall or use it on the provided leg stand at will. If you mount on the wall, you have to take off a plate on the back of the screen (4 screws) so you can put it on the wall. So it's either portable or it's wall-mounted, you can't conveniently have both. Not a big deal, if you want a permanent wallscreen, you should get something else. This is well-designed for portable use.- The screen, when folded up and carried around, can stand on its own. If you're hustling through elevators and corridors, you can stand this on the ground while waiting. The legstand has a clip which locks it onto the screen, but it can open while you're running around, so just pay attention to the legstand when going to and fro. A simple tug on the legs will click it back in place.As for the curling of the screen, if some sort of firm strip (much like a wooden yardstick that a seamstress uses to measure fabric) were running down the center of the screen to keep it straight, it wouldn't hamper the opening/closing of the screen, and could be the answer to the problem.Still, it's the best screen for ultra-portable users. I set this screen up 12 times a week, and it's holding up very well.UPDATE: I own two of these screens. One for home - I use is a few times a week, at least once in the backyard at night. I leave one at work, and use that one every weekday. After over a year, still really enjoy owning this screen and have no regrets.Recommended!

Used these to hook up my projector to the Blu Ray player and they work perfectly. A bit thicker than I expected, but I think that’s a good thing. Very pleased with this purchase. Unbelievable value for money.

Big fan. All of the HDMI cables I order are big and bulky. The weight alone is enough to damage the HDMI inputs on most monitors. These are the perfect size to use. I run karaoke and I always need to hook a cable into the expensive TVs many bars and clubs install. I don't need the wire weight damaging the inputs. These cables work great!

This cable works well for connecting two devices that are far from one another. I use it to connect a PC to a TV nearly twenty feet away. The cord is easily maneuverable and can be hidden along a wall or inside a hanging ceiling if necessary.

Good quality, has worked well over time, reliable. This is massively long so make sure you need 25 feet before purchasing. My philosophy is I'd rather have a cable that's too long than one that is too short.

This is my go-to cable whenever needed. I had bad luck with a couple of walmart cables before trying this one. Since then I have ordered quite a few. Never have had any issues. Not much to say about cables they work good or they don't work good. I like the price on this one and just wanted to drop my recommendation these are a good deal.

I bought the 25ft version and the output from laptop to TV is flawless.Before the cable, I was streaming via a media server (PS3 Media Server to be exact) but this got to be a chore since video playback on media server can be slow, sometimes choppy, sometimes doesn't support all video file types, and just navigating around the interface can be slow. Then why not just output what you see on your laptop directly to the TV, as long as you don't mind the cable? Now I watch videos that I would watch on my laptop but on bigger screen. This includes movie files, youtube, and many other online video streaming. It's really simple.I got the 25ft version b/c I felt that gave enough play and distance from where the laptop usually sits and the TV. I had wondered whether there would be too much signal drop and get no picture but that's not the case. I get video and audio on my TV just fine. Side note: I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro so I had to get micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter as well (micro-HDMI really stinks btw).$7 for a 25ft cable and Amazon Prime... hard to go wrong.[Update Nov 2016] For everyone complaining about how short NES Classic controller cables are, just get this and problem solved. :-)

Works perfectly, good to take around to speaking engagements. At first I thought the connection to my laptop would be problematic and the first time, I spent an hour getting it to work correctly, but once I figure it out, it was okay. I haven't tried it with other sourced than a laptop. My only wish was that it would be easier to use all the options and set up faster.

I went back and forth as this was my first projector. I finally decided on this one for the amazing price as well as the fact that I work with this model regularly at work and was satisfed with its easy-to-use ability. Having now gotten it, I can say that I am very pleased with my decision and have begun watching many Christmas movies for the season on it. As other customers said, ıt ıs sometimes a little loud the fan, but thats not a problem as you kind of need external speakers for proper volume so thats soon lost in better sound quality. Thus far we have had no problems with it, though I would recommend getting a ceiling mount to save yourself the pain of constantly adjusting it to fit the wall. We have two cats who we are nervous about leaving it around at night, and having that overhead mount would have been nice.

My initial experience with this projector was very poor. Upon delivery the FedEx guy DROPPED the box at my feet so I could sign for it. Upon opening the box and setting up the projector I got an error which read “Error in Auto Iris – Contact Nearest Epson Service Center”…….FANTASTIC! Apparently the rough treatment of the box knocked the light source out of alignment which rendered the projector useless. I can’t blame the FedEx guy too much because the box was the basic Amazon box with no indicators that the box did indeed contain fragile material. I immediately contacted the Epson service center and was informed my projector was still under warranty (of course it was, five minutes out of the box it better be!) A new projector arrived 2 days later in 100% working order with clear indications on the box that a sensitive projector was enclosed and “fragile” was expressly indicated. The exchange process was simple with prepaid shipping for the return.

NOW, about the projector. Background for my intended use for said projector: I work for a law firm and we use the projector at meetings to display PowerPoint presentations and at trial to display documents used as evidence/exhibits. This is not my first projector. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the easy setup and immediate connection when using the USB cord. I projected onto a dark grey wall in our conference room and all colors were easily discernible with a clear image. Focusing and leveling are simple with easy to use controls. When you slide the shutter closed in front of the lens the light powers off and goes into what I would call a “rest mode” – this does not shut down the projector. As soon as you slide the shutter open the lamp kicks back on. This is a helpful feature because if left on for long periods of time the projector does get hot. Instead of turning the projector completely off, the “rest mode” allows the unit to cool down while not in use. The remote is possibly the BEST function of the projector. Instead of manually controlling from my laptop I can now click through slides from presentation mode while I’m standing at a podium or in the front of the room. The remote also has a zoom feature, which makes it easy to zoom in on key material on a displayed document. I understand that it has wireless capabilities and that is definitely a plus I will attempt before my next trial. Projector came with a padded carrying case, remote and necessary cords. Overall a good purchase for the price compared to other more expensive models. I would recommend this product, just watch for your delivery guy and try to prevent any dropping of your box.

Using this with a projector screen, i have clear video even in bright light. The auido is not good though, and it has no connection for external speakers

I received it yesterday and used it for a presentation today. LIghtweight, very strong, clear light, adjustable tilt on lens as well as adjustable feet and plastic prop. The description doesn't say that it includes a carrying case but it does. The remote runs the machine(batteries included), but instead of a laser pointer it shows a double arrow onscreen which is clumsily operated with the arrow keys. I purchased a laser pointer to use instead. For today's lecture, which was to a small group, I projected onto a dry-erase board so that I could use marker on the images. It worked well. It can also project clearly at a distance on a wall or larger screen. It doesn't come with the wireless key; you have to purchase it seperately. It was a good thing that today's setup allowed me to connect my laptop closeby. Except for the lack of product disclosure above (I bought another carrying case, since it was bundled with the laptop and I assumed there wasn't one. Now I have to return the case and pay $9 for shipping!), it worked well for what I needed.

I have owned this product for just under 8 years. I have used it in my basement, paired with a 720p projector. Overall, I really love this screen. Setup is easy, and it gives a good picture (this has more to do with the projector than the screen). The only problem that I have with the screen is that it sags a little bit in the middle along the top (see provided pictures). It isn't perfect, but once you have the projector on, you really don't even notice the sagging. I would definitely buy this item again, but with the way this one has held up for me, it will probably last a lifetime.

I agree with the pros and cons that others have outlined. I really like the innovative design for its size and portability. It is extremely easy and fast to set up also. It is a bit heavy to carry around for a long time or a long distance, but overall not overwhelming. Probably the biggest down side is the flex at the top and bottom of the screen due to lack of reinforcement. Leads to distortion of the picture at the top and bottom edges. I would recommend this product but would definitely outline that downside to someone.

Packaged nicely when delivered. I like the Projector Screen it was bigger than what i thought it would be. Easy to set up, easy to adjust the width sliding in and out from behind the Projector, easy to take down just be careful if you are short its over 5 ft tall when put together. Quality made, very professional and well constructed. A little heavy if you are not able to carry anything over 20 pounds. I don't know if it should be used outside but it appears it could be used for outside as well, because of the quality look of it i wouldn't use it outdoors but that's not to say it couldn't be. It is well constructed and shows very good when the Projector displays on it.When closing it up it stands up nicely in a corner i would have something behind it in case it falls but it stands up nicely is not an ugly sight if you can't store it somewhere that is hidden. When transporting, carrying handle is nice and sturdy and the screen is compact and stands about 43 inches when folded up. The only reason i didn't give it a 5 is because of weight but i would highly recommend it!! Adding Side View of how the screen stands from a wall per customer inquiry of how far the screen stands from a wall.

A very nice screen with some limitations. As mentioned in several other reviews, there is some sagging in the middle due to there being no support. However, if you are being judged because your screen has some small limp areas, the problem is with those doing the judging and not your presentation. Yes, I know if it was perfectly taut, things would look better, but the results are not horrible. Most people looking wouldn't notice or care.As for portable, that is up to the individual. It is well constructed, and therefore, heavy. They claim 29 lbs. but it sure feels more like 40 or 50 to me. I know I wouldn't want to lug it around all day long. It is also not meant to be taken on a plane. I suppose you could get a large duffle bag and check it, but that sure seems like a lot of trouble. Don't even think about using it as a carry-on, unless you like making a scene and can't enjoy a flight without feeling the hostile wrath of your fellow passengers. If the place you are going doesn't have a screen or whiteboard, use a light colored wall. Or, think twice about what kind of rinky-dink company doesn't have a place to properly project content on. Did you have to bring your own projector? That might be what some call a "business clue".It is simple to use and the clever design makes it easy to open and close. When closing, make sure to line up the frame with the channel for a secure fit. You also don't have to be six feet tall or have a ladder handy to set it up. It comes with a wall mount kit that is sturdy, but if you want a permanent solution, you'd have one hat you pull down or lowers automatically. Having the ability to do 4:3 or 16:9 is a very nice feature indeed.Overall we are very satisfied with it and considered it a good value.

Heavy but well constructed. Not really for traveling but nice to be able to store it away. The gold lines in the middle of the screen are visible in white light but for most movies not visible. One think I didn't count on - while the screen is plenty wide it's not particularly long due to its design. This meant we had to shrink the picture to fit the screen. The end result is rather than a huge a movie screen it's more like a big widescreen tv. Works very well for s small living room. If you are looking for a huge movie experience you'll probably be disappointed. Works well for us though.

I have been wanting to have a nice portable projection screenthat is easy to setup and take down and store. This productfits my requirements very well.It is compact (42.5"*10"*2") (when collapsed), portable for transport in a car and moving from roomto room at home. it is somewhat heavy (about 28 pounds) It is very easy to setup.One person can easily do it. You take out the tripod. Adjustthe legs to the desired height (29-34" from the floor) and insert the screenon the vertical pole of the tripod and expand it by pulling the sides. As it expandsit clicks at 65" or 80" diagonal. The vertical height of the screen is 40"As many have pointed out there is a vertical sag and top and bottom sag.This happens because the screen is folded and supported in the middle andnot at the top and bottom. I use this screen to project movies from my projector.The vertical indentation is not noticeable. The top and bottom sags don't affectthe screening because the movie doesn't cover the top and bottom edges.The tripod is sturdy enough. In my opinion it is a well designed productBecause of the inherent sag, I am not giving it a perfect 5

very long cable which is doing the job just fine. got it out of the package and it felt like a thin wire that was very stiff. Have been using it for a while now and it has still not loosened up and become slightly flexible. It was an awesome price and would totally buy again.

Works but only 1 way you have to pay attention to the input and output markings on the cable ends, and inline amp not strong enough had to get another amplifier 20.00 to correct problem now works fine .

I purchased my 1st one almost 2 years ago and its still working for me.However I did order two for my brother and he said that his two broke couple months afterAlso, I purchased another one because I left my old one at home, I can say that it feels thinner than the older one. (Older feels thicker)the second one i ordered is good. but it does come out of the port kind of easily whenever I move my computer

I bought this recently (May 2015), it works. I tested it with 2 devices to my TV, a 2014 MacBook Pro and the HDMI output of the GTX 660 video card in a PC. Both worked as expected, delivering both video and audio to the HD TV. A few notes though...Depending on the source (commercial DVD, video one creates at home and so on) on both Mac and PC you may need to "point" the audio to the TV. On Mac that's in Sound in System Preferences, on Windows, Sound, in Control Panel. Other than that, no issues with this cable for me.A few comments refer to the somewhat flimsy construction of the cable. No, it's not a an overpriced Monster Cable, but it doesn't appear to be all that fragile. Just be absolutely sure to insert/remove the cable by the connector, not the cable itself. The latter approach will eventually break the most well constructed cable, over time.

I ordered 3 to be safe as the ones i paid over $40 for here a few years ago both crapped out. Cables may be cables but the hdmi jack fell off of my first & my back up failed after a few years of using it. These all seem good until I busted my flat screen in the process of rewiring it & upgraded to 4k & did have an issue with pic/ sound delay but that was resolved adjusting the tv settings. I'd personally give it 5 stars but have seen several pictures of damaged cables, but mine all showed up in great condition! Besides playing tv, ps3, blue-ray, etc through it it is a fantastic value for the length for sure!

This cable was packaged in a generic package, nothing fancy but enough packaging that I was confident the product was protected sufficiently.The cable itself was strong, of a good thickness, and the connectors appeared clean, the pins straight, everything looked good to go.The cable works for what I purchased it for - being an occasional link between my computer and my TV, mostly to watch movies. However I do find when I connect it to the laptop HDMI connector, the connection is a little loose - there's some side-to-side give, just a teeny bit, but enough that I do have to wiggle it around a bit and/or reseat it occasionally before the video and sound both are piped properly to the TV - however once it goes, it stays and from that point it works like a champ.That's the reason I don't give this cable 5 stars. All in all, I would recommend this product, and if the connection you need is one that will be set up and left, this cable should work perfectly. The signal was great, the product in perfect, new, condition, and it works perfectly once the connection is solid. It is the least expensive cable I could find, so teeny bit of give is, overall, a price I'm quite willing to pay to avoid the higher cost of others on the market.Would buy again.

It's a good value for the money. Not for home theater or movies. Best for digital decor use & office presentations.

My only criticism is that is is loud and hot (it's basically a little heater with blower and all). Are all projectors this loud and hot? I suppose it's all those lumens. The projected images look great.

I got some discoloration after having this on all day for a conference. This has never happened before. I think it overheated. The next time I use it I will prop the legs up so the bottom can breath. We just had it flat on the table and it needed air.

The description is very misleading. You have to buy the extra $80 wireless adapter if you want to use an IPAD or other swirls device. I ordered that extra part still wouldn't work with Apple, had to buy Apple TV before the system would work wirelessly with IPAD. Very disappointed, took extra $200 to do what it was claimed to be able to do. Projector is good, but don't bel;eve their description of capabilities.

The projecter doesn't adapt to fit the screen. You have to physically move it forward or back to fit the screen. It is relatively quiet, and doesn't need to cool off like old models.

Functionally this screen is fantastic, but the quality is just not there. The worst part is that most of the screws will fall out at some point and, if you don't notice, then the metal supports will tear into the screen. Epson did replace the first one that did this but I noticed screws already gone from the replacement. The screws and some of the hardware seem non-standard and when I tried to use the screws from the handles as replacements, they turned out to be just slightly the wrong size. We've probably gotten our money's worth (as it is on the cheaper side) and if you don't need the portability on a regular basis, then you probably wont have a problem. Also, yes the top and bottom curl a little, but unless you are a super perfectionist it's not a big deal. At the end of the day I probably would have bought the same screen because it is really portable and flexible.

I've order two of these for our church, and they work pretty good, the compactness and Folding/retraction is awesome, however the Screen has a few creases and came with a few small blemishes, also the plastic tip that is on top of the tripod tube falls offbut other than that, I was pretty satisfied.

I used these screens at my former corporate employer so I bought one for my business when I went independent.THE BAD: The one I received had curves in the center of the screen from the rollers. It distracts you from the image projected, but not horribly so. I cannot recall if the previous ones I used also had the same issue.THE GOOD: However, with that aside, the design is great, compact and versatile compared to traditional models. The stand nests on the back for easy carrying with the attached handles. It even comes with a wall mount bracket.THE MAIN PROBLEM: Since I was dissatisfied by the damaged package and the creases down the center of the screen I returned it to CONNECTBUY. I waited a month and received no refund. I e-mailed them and they responded apologetically and said "we'll process it with the manufacturer in 2-3 days." I waited another month and then contacted Amazon Customer Service. They are now working on resolving it.

I purchased three of these to use for training's at various venues. They are great and fold to a fairly compact size that will fit in any car and they aren't too bad to lug around. They are well built. My only issue with them, likely caused by their compactness, is that they are not tall enough. I often have to set up on a pedestal or table to get high enough for larger crowds, but should be ok if you have a smaller audience. I still recommend them, they are probably the best solution out there that I have ever come across.

Screen setup is amazingly easy, the accordion metal braces in the back are a well designed method of expanding the screen, but I have a better quality picture on my wall than on this screen that came out of the box (New) with crease marks that show in the screen while projecting to it.I would recommend this product to anyone that needs a screen setup in an outdoor setting like I have been using it.- Well made- Easy setup & Tear down- Lightweight enough to carry, but heavy enough to be quality made and weighted down for wind issues.

As a few other reviewers noted, there is a distinct bar going down the middle of the screen due to the manner in which it is stored. For the most part I can ignore it. It becomes evident during lighter scenes with more white background. Secondly, there are no top or bottom supporting structures to ensure that the screen stays flat at the top and bottom. Fully extended there is significant rolling of the top and bottom of the screen. If you are not using the entire screen then this will not present a problem. My projector can go up to 300 inches, so I use the entire screen. Most noticeable during scenes that pan up or down. Overall I like the design of the screen, but it has some major drawbacks that wish I would have investigated more thoroughly before purchasing.

We ordered 2 cables. 1 of 2 is having issues with flickering sources on our projector. Does not happen with other HDMI cables.

I ordered this and I cannot remember if it came on time or not, but I'm almost certain it did. The reason I'm giving this product three stars is because only about a month, if that long, after receiving it (I started using it right away), the one end of the wire would no longer work. I tried switching the broken end from my laptop to my TV and it made no difference - I was trying to see if the issue was one of my devices. I'm not sure what the issue with the cord is but is is officially broken: I will see if there is something I can do to render it useful.

When I received the product, I hurried to plug it into my Apple TV and 55" TV. The build of the product was alright. The coat seemed thin but the actual male area seemed to stand up and stay in place. After connection, the signal was transmitted through the cord and the Apple TV showed up. The color was a little different but not too drastic. Only thing I'll have to say is that you cannot extend this further without sacrificing very poor quality image. I tried it and the screen was displaying scratch. The length was 25' which is about the most you'll ever need.

For a 25 foot HDMI line, the cord is so small. It is every bit as small as the standard audio connecting cord for connecting devices. My 4 footHDMI cords for connecting Blu-Ray and Dish Network to my HDTV are much larger in size. I always figured that we need the larger cord to transfer the high definition signals for a great picture. I tried this cord, and the picture looks a little hazy. It was sold at a great price, but a lot of times, you only get what you pay for.

This product could go anywhere between one star and four stars. It is four stars for being a functional TWENTY-FIVE FOOT HDMI CABLE FOR $5.99!!! It is one star for signal loss, poor shielding, and inability to handle HD video without degradation. For the value (and the fact it actually works), we'll dump it at three stars.When used with my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, the cable works great, as the video isn't exactly intense when typing along in the terminal. The GUI is smooth and looks decent as well.When connected to HTPC, this cable really, really, really shows why it cost only $5.99. Even running 720p at 60hz, the picture was extremely degraded, to the point of lines coming across the screen.In conclusion, I'm not much of a fan, and recently ordered a replacement. If you have a low-end use for this cable, go for it. If you are using it in a home theater situation, I would suggest shelling out a for more bucks for a higher quality cable.

Needed some longer HDMI cables to run through a plastic conduit to hide in the wall. Was a little worried about the price vs. quality but these work just as well as more expensive cables I've used. Come with plastic protectors on the ends and survived a run through the conduit (2 corner bends) and work just great.Update 2017: These have served me well over the years until it was time to update my hardware. I had an older Samsung TV (to be replaced soon) and bought a new PS4 Pro. Initial connection worked - but then started getting staticky screens and pops through audio. Tried another one of these cables (have 3 separate ones ran through the wall) and the 2nd one was worse. I plugged the PS4Pro directly into the TV using the cable that came with it and the issue went away - which led me to believe it was the cable. It turns out that HDMI cables have also been updated over the years and these cables are no longer what is required to support the newer video connections.

Only used this for one day and had to send it back. I guess you get what you pay for (and this is inexpensive), but the image quality is very poor.
I use this to project financial projections in an office setting, and you could barely make out the numbers being projected.

I did not recieved remote control and instructional cd with this package

The Espson EX3220 was east to set up and operate, and it was certainly bright enough for a lighted room -- just as advertised. However, the resolution was not that great when viewing a standard Power Point slide blown up large enough for 20 or more people in a room to see. I returned the model and bought the EX5220 for about $95 more. I've shown two presentations now with this upgraded model and am very satisfied with the resolution of the EX5220 over the EX3220.

I bought this projector for movies at home but my wall space is only seven feet wide so the projector would have to sit in the center of the room to fit the screen, or use the electronic zoom which made the picture smaller but left a foot wide halo around the picture. Also the image looks like it has a screen door across it. I decided on a much higher resolution projector and am happy with the change. I did end up spending almost double though.

The quality of the image was poor. I shouldn't have expected too much considering it has a native resolution of 800x600. The bag that came with it was cheap. If that was sold separately I would have never purchased it. I probably would have kept it for a "throw around" projector to use for block parties, but the projector casts a light around the image. For example, if your screen is 92" and you fill the screen with the image, the projector will cast light that would fit on a screen of 150" +. In other words, there will be a boxed area of light around the image. I found this annoying as it nearly lit the room up and you could see silhouettes in it.

Long story short, returned it within an hour of receiving it.

Sturdy, Probably one of the best screens out there. But really not portable -- very heavy, very substantial. We needed something we could ship from place to place or put in an overhead rack, and this did not fit the bill. We sent it back and bought a smaller one.If you will be staying in one place with the screen - I think that this is probably a great choice for you.

I'm giving it an AVERAGE for NOW... Because these are HUGE creases...most reviews I read stated there were some "small creases that weren't a big deal", and I thought, "well sure, but those will wear away soon".... But THESE!!?? They'd BETTER go away!! It IS easy to mount on the wall and it DOESN'T weigh 40 or 60 pounds when you go to mount it...a female with any "I can do this" can put it up in the wall herself --- I did and it took less than 30 mind and that was from getting it out of the box to the expanded to the 80" --- but these creases are NOT small, and they ARE a big deal if they stay this way... So let's hope they don't!! I TRIED posting a picture 5 times to show the finished product but it kept saying it couldn't upload it...but trust me...the creases ARE HUGE on the screen I got...VERY crevassed into the screen....UPDATE MARCH 4TH lines did NOT go away and I took the screen off of my wall and use the WALL as my screen and it's PERFECT.. the screen will now only be used as a portable for outdoor movies and hopefully we can see the movies or...will not suggest anyone buy this and if I didn't have to go through the hassle.of a return I would do it and get my money back...but,it'll probably be fun for outdoor movies and hopefully watching some outdoor Sunday and Monday night NFL games on nights where I feel like it... :-)

Great screen and concept to have 2 sizes while it lasted. After only a few uses it failed to open properly and sags greatly in the middle (the sagging design flaw could have been anticipated with the easy solution of a cross bar attachment along the top with ring and hook secures). Hopefully Epson tracks these comments and makes the necessary quality improvements to this product. Although the buyer should be aware of this problem, it may not be common and the options for similar portable screens are few. None-the-less, buyer beware.

Item came shipped not functional. The screw on the arm that is attached the side of the screen had fallen off. So I'm concerned with the overall quality and durability since it already arrived damaged. There was also noticeable dents and scratches all over the item. Overall, I am really disappointed in the quality of the product.

This was a gift I had shipped to my niece in Columbus, OH. She was planning to make a video presentation at a recent family reunion and was persuaded NOT to rent a screen, but to own this one which she identified online. I was not impressed with what I saw when I arrived at the reunion, The screen seemed flimsy, fragile, and not very sturdy. While she was certainly pleased that she did not have to spend any money to rent one, she probably would have chosen a different brand/model screen had she known how inadequate this one was. While the surface of the screen was ok, I anticipate that even with modest use, this screen will not be functional before long. I have had my DA-LITE screen for more than 20 years, and it still looks and functions like it was new. The challenge would have been transporting my screen to/from the reunion with all the other stuff we had to carry. Once we left the reunion, my niece would still be faced with renting a screen EACH time she needed to make a video presentation. That's not very cost effective, and that's why the gift. If only it could be returned for a better model at the same price!!

The concept is different than the traditional typical screen in that it opens horizontal vs. vertical.What I like:Stand is sturdy, easily store stand in the screen case.Screen is protected in a decent case, although plastic case, we'll see how durable it is over time.Has the option to mount to a wall.What I don't like:Bulky and heavy compared to other screens due to the dual enclosures (right and left) that come together.As other reviewers have mentioned, top and bottom edges curl, although it curls only on the black edge, not affecting the screen itself.The one I received has indentation marks where the screen comes together like it's been stored in this closed position for a while. I've seen this screen elsewhere and it did not have this issue or the curling, so not sure if this is due to being stored for quite some time or if it's due to something else. I'll try to post a picture of these issues.Height is very short as others have said, so if you are showing this to a crowded room, you may be challenged to get it to a height everyone can view. Wish they offered an extension tube or a height adjusted base.

Ran from a PC to a TV. Works sorta... but it cuts in and out to black/white fuzz ever 10 minutes or so. I tried it on every resolution, frequency I could and it was the same. After reading reviews I concluded it was the quality of the wire (thickness, shielding, etc). I returned this and bought one with higher reviews. The new cable was 3x the diameter and I haven't had any of the same troubles.My guess is that the this cheap cable was just too thing for the distance (25ft), it probably would've worked at a shorter distance but for longer runs it paid off to get a more expensive one.

I used this to connect my computer to my digital monitor, got no picture, the monitor apparently senses no signal. Connected a 6-foot cable between computer and monitor, things worked properly. Tried this swap several times, same results. Then used this cable to connect my computer to an electronic HDMI switch, used the short cable to connect the switch to the monitor, and the setup works. I'm no expert, but it seems the switch can detect a signal that the monitor can't, and the switch boosts it enough for the monitor to see it. Which leads me to think that the VERY thin diameter of this cable means the wires inside aren't very robust, and a lot of signal gets lost over 25 feet. Your satisfaction may depend on the nature of the device(s) you connnect with it.

An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable right? Wrong! Although this cable worked fine when connected directly to my TV and the laptop, whenever there was an HDMI receiver in the middle of the two there were a bunch of blue and red pixels on the screen. Some might say this might be the problem with the receiver itself, but no other cable displayed such behavior on the receiver, only this one did. I did isolate the problem to be in the cable and not rest of the equipment. I have used quite a few generic cables before and never experienced such problems. This cable may work for you if you are going directly into the TV, but not if you have an HDMI switch or a receiver in the middle.

I rated this 2 stars because it did function well for two years, then does not work.This was run along the wall in our living room and we frequently used it to connect our laptop to our television. We did not coil and uncoil the cable. I feel like we took pretty good care of it. Perhaps we broke it? Unsure. One day it just stopped working. The warranty is only for one year, so I'll need to buy another.

The cable I received worked great. I tried it on my Playstation 3 without a hitch. I tried it with my Western Digital Live Media Hub and the cable performed more than adequately. The trouble comes when I connect it to my computer. The cable literally goes hay wire when the settings on my computer is at 1080p with a 60hz refresh rate. I thought the problem was my computer but I have many other wires laying around and, to my disappointment, it seems the problem only occur when I am using this certain cable. The cable works at 1080i at 30hz perfectly fine but once I change it back to the default, it starts to fail on me.This is all from my testing and observation. Hopefully, it is just a defective cable but I would not recommend anyone to get this cable and if they do it is at their own risk.I gave it 1 extra star because it only seems to not be able to handle my PC...Finally, I would like to say that in terms of customer service the company I ordered this item from replied to my email very quickly and offered me different solutions to try and solve the situation. I am very grateful to Home Fashion Products.

I am running this cable from my home theater system to my projector on the other end of the room. This cable works flawlessly at 1080p 24hz, but when upped to 50hz or 60hz, it really struggles to keep full bandwidth. It certainly supports the frequency, but about two or three times per minute I would lose signal for a second then it would come back. Secondly there was noise in the line (only while at > 24hz) causing horizontal lines to intermittently show up for a brief second.I'm now going to have to order some better cables as 24hz isn't sufficient for my home theater system, fast movement results in a blur and a frame is dropped about every two seconds.

This refurb stopped working 3.5 months after I bought it.

I opened the item and it did not work properly. The projector makes a loud noise and it will not project.

The machine overheated the first couple of times used. Returning for a new unit.

Horrible picture quality. Very pixellated and blurred. I am returning the item.

I bought this in Dec and started using it. Initially it was just great, however lately after using it for a month, the projector started acting crazy. It gets stuck after using for an hour or so and I have to reboot it and also I see that the corners of the image displayed goes black. I am not really happy with the product and I feel i wasted my money :( !!!!

Review mostly related to storage and or shipping of product. Screen arrived damaged falling out of unsealed box and imo water damaged box. As a result, it is missing the wall mount+ hardware. Screen casing marred in several places, and screen has indentations from being rolled up with chunks of stuff on the screen.

This screen started coming apart after two uses. We don't use it very frequently, so when we went to return it we were told we were outside the 30 day window. Save your $, buy something else more durable.

The top and bottom edges curl back and the screen sags slightly in the middle. Creases exist toward the middle of the screen where the case meets when folded up. I sent my original order back as defective and Amazon sent a replacement. The second screen received was just as bad, so I had to send that one back as well.

Disappointed the screen sags and has indentation in middle does not scretch out all the way. They need to add something that goes parallel so the screen can be completely flat but I like that it's portable and compact.

I ordered this back in June of 2015. The only complaint at the time was the screen kind of bulges out in the middle once opened. I would have rated it 4 stars. The reason I'm writing this review and giving it two stars is because the last time I opened the screen a screw came loose. I have only used the screen a handful of times so this shouldn't have happened. This made the entire skeleton of the projector come unhinged. As the projector unfolded the screw or either the metal that came loose put holes all in my screen. I was able to put it back together but the holes are still in the screen. Anybody that has purchased this or is thinking about purchasing this will probably want to check the screws from time to time to make sure they are tight.

Based on positive reviews, I purchased this screen at the last minute for an upcoming speaking event. Bad idea. There is a tightening piece on the pole to clamp the legs in place on the center pole. On my brand new screen the piece can not be tightened; it just spins and spins without ever gripping the pole. This means that the center pole sags to the floor and the legs are never fully extended, making the screen both too low to the floor and unstable. The slightest nudge sends it tumbling to the floor. Very disappointing.

Terrible product, very low quality. Refund policy is a joke 88 cent refund ( $0.88) on a $13.98 purchase. Find another company to buy HDMI cables from.

This cable does not support HDMI-CEC so it may not even be a 1.2a cable for that matter. I bought these to run behind the wall. Only to find out once I ran them through that the old HDMI cables supported this and I could control my surround via my TV remote because they supported HDMI-CEC but these new cables do not.So all three I bought are going back, and I guess I have to buy more. The version of the cable should be listed in the description and it was not.

I buy stuff on Amazon all the time but almost never leave reviews. However, I feel compelled to warn other potential buyers about this product. This cable simply doesn't work. It would randomly flip off, turning the screen totally black for a few seconds. I notice this happens more frequently when I use the cable to deliver both audio and video. In that case the video feed flickers on and off every few seconds. When using only video, this may happen every few minutes. In the time it took me to type this review, the video feed dropped off twice! The cable is also extreme thin and of poor construction. It's not the sturdy, typical HDMI cable you see in stores. This would have been all fine if the cable actually gets the job done.

I first bought this cable February 6, 2014. It was originally intended to hook up my television to my PC and use it as a second monitor - something I've done for years, however my PC was moved a couple feet over, rendering my 20ft cable useless and necessitating the purchase of something longer.Upon receipt I plugged it in, made the usual adjustments to my TV and computer, and received no video or audio. I tried hooking it up to a monitor, and while the Windows startup would appear with garbled green distortion, the video would turn black as soon as the startup sequence had completed. Thinking it was a PC issue, I tried switching the cable with the HDMI hookup between my cable box and XBox One, but still received no video. I even tried it on a second television, to no avail. I returned the cable as defective, and purchased another, thinking it was a fluke.The second cable arrived with a cut halfway through, completely severing the sheathing and several wires inside. Needless to say I won't be trying this one on any machine, and have sent it back for a refund. This time I'll be ordering an AmazonBasics 25 ft HDMI cable, as the identically-branded HDMI to DVI converter I bought recently works splendidly.

Bought this cable as a replacement for a Mediabridge cable of the same length that I gave to a friend. We both use our laptops as a source to watch videos or listen to music on our big screens. The Mediabridge cable has been great now for over a year. Thought I could just give him my Mediabridge cable and grab whatever looked good having never had a bad experience with HDMI, until now. With the cable plugged in the bad connector will lose signal sync with the television if the bad connector is on the laptop where I tend to have movement from navigating the interface. If I swap the cable the other direction the problem largely goes away since that plug doesn't tend to move.Now before you suggest the laptop may have a bad jack, the problem occurs on my tablet (mini HDMI adapter used) and my iPhone. So it's definitely the cable. It could be that I just got a dud, but today finally ordered my Mediabridge replacement and pray the quality is the same as the one I ordered last year.

I didn't use this for quite some time as a number of life things happened and thus was well passed my 30 day return period, but I hooked it up to my laptop to run to my big screen TV across the room (which is exactly what I wanted it for) and...nothing. Absolutely nothing. I moved my laptop over by the tv, used the same much shorter cable that I had used before and plugged it into the exact same HDMI input, and boom, all is there, and all is fine. Plugged this 25 foot cable back in and..nothing again. The TV screen blinks as if it's trying to tell me something, but I don't know what a blinking, blank, screen means. All I know is I used my old cable, worked great (but I wanted a longer one so as to not have to constantly move my laptop back and forth from my desk) but never got this to work.If anyone reads this and know another option for me to try, please suggest something. I will not purchase this one again under any circumstance, since I already did purchase it and it got nothing. The big screen TV is at least 12 to 15 feet away from my desk, and that doesn't count moving up and down or around and behind the laptop and TV. Any suggestions appreciated.
