[Elite Screens] Aeon AcousticPro UHD Series

This is my fifth projector screen. Built the first one myself and other manufacturers since then (90, 106, 120, 143). I bought the 150" acoustic version. The velcro installation on this is clunky at best and hard to align properly. I got it dialed in but it took a bit. Also the "bezel" is just a somewhat flimsy stick on border. Once all put together it looks very nice but I've had WAY better installation experiences. Great value for the money, just sub par engineering IMO.

Long story short - I accidentally bought Elite Screens' "Cinegray" screen, thinking I'd bought a "regular" white screen. A 15% restocking fee later (>$100) and then I purchased this screen. It sat boxed in my basement for over a year while we remodeled & delayed the theater, but finally I recently had a chance to get around to it.AUHD? I didn't even know what it meant when I looked at the box. Acoustic Ultra High Def? Oh no. I bought the wrong one again?! Kind of. I did not intend to buy an Acoustic screen. I simply wanted a 120" screen with small bezels. I used to own the more popular screen of the same size (120") and the giant bezels really never sat well with me.Anyway, learning about the acoustic screen I owned, I changed some of my design ideas and decided to put the speakers behind the screen. In the end, I'm completely satisfied with this happy accident.The screen...Assembly took me about 90 minutes by myself. The instructions were clear, and I never had to redo a step from overlooking something. The most tedious part is installing some hooks that hold a piece of black fabric in place - I never quite understood the purpose of the black fabric (installed behind the projector screen, attached to the back of the bezel), but it's in there.I did rip a piece of the velcro but that simply taught me to be more careful along the way. In the end, it came out almost flawless.I absolutely love it. High priced but it looks fantastic and the hidden front speakers are a really neat party trick.I would buy this again.

I've wanted a micro-perf screen since I put my first projection system together in 1998. Until this screen that dream has been out of reach, but no longer. It took me three weeks to figure out how to mount my speakers, build custom shelving, rewire the front speakers, and basically get everything ready to put this up. Once I got that far, it took me about three hours to install, but that's largely because I was alone, making the assembled unit a bit unwieldy, and I had to figure out how to manage that.I have to say it is a Thing Of Beauty! I was slightly worried about 4k micro-perf on a such an inexpensive screen, but I assure you that worry was absolutely, utterly unfounded. Years later I'm still amazed by the jaw-dropping clarity.If your experience is like mine, you will wonder why you didn't get this screen sooner.
