Refurbished - [Elite Screens] ezCinema 2 Series

I was cautious to buy this given some of the 1-stars mentioning failing parts. However, I took a chance and bought it, with an extended warranty.I absolutely hate looking at televisions, especially when they are off. Reminds me of that black obelisk in the movie 2001, imposing and annoying. Sold the TV and bought a small projector I could hide away. I’d rather look at my books.This brings me to the fact my walls are less than perfect for a projector. Bumpy and off white and marks. I decided on buying a screen. Thought about a pulldown, but they could be a pain to mount, and kinda ugly to look at. Decided on a “pull up” version, and this measured out right to the location I wanted it, and was the perfect height. And as you can see by the photo it is very stealth when not in use. Screen pulls up and down easily with a comfy handle, rests at the top with a stop. Mounted a soundbar right on the wall behind it, feels like a movie theatre setup.I may go further and find some small decorative furniture piece to place in front of it to make it even more invisible. But for now I just love how I’ve “killed my TV” but still have the option to watch a movie once in a while or even zone out on YouTube or other streaming sites if the urge hits me. Beautiful picture, no wrinkles I can find, and it sets up and ticks away in seconds. Very happy.

The hardest part about buying and using this screen was measuring my Chevy Volt to see if it would fit so I could transport it where I needed it (it did). It's also a little tough to wriggle it in and out of the protective bag, but not a huge deal. This screen is not the cheapest you can get, but IMHO you get what you pay for. Not only was it super easy and fast to set up, the coating helped to reveal the image even in a ridiculously well-lighted space. It's clearly very well made. I know hydraulics are not new tech, but everyone was so impressed with how the screen stood up at any height you would think I was showing fire to cavemen. Seriously though, buy the thing.

I am very impressed with this screen. It arrived on time with no damage to the product or the box it was shipped in. The 5 star review comes from:1.) Ease of use. You just pull the screen up and you're ready to start watching videos.2.) It effortlessly retracts back down into its own case, and came with its own handy carry bag.3.) The movies look GREAT on the screen. I was worried about seeing wrinkles on the screen but there aren't any to be seen-looks great!4.) Other than being 95 inches long, it is easy to carry and transport.5.) I get the impression that the manufacturer "Elite Screens" cares about their product and its customer. I am quite sure if I had had any problems with their screen, they would have been there to help me out.I definitely recommend this product.
