Missing Parts, and came with a 'Racing Stripe'
We got the 150" acoustic screen. I'd give it more of a 3.5 star rating due to the amount of issues that we had. If we didn't have any of these issues, I would have given it 5 stars, but it was missing four of the plastic pieces that you snap the screen on to, and then we found another big issue.. We improvised just used the snaps that we had and it looked ok (no noticeable wrinkles in the screen), so we didn't call to try to get the missing 4 parts, plus it would be a pain to take everything back apart to just put those pieces in.After we got it all set up and hung the screen on the wall though, we noticed a bright stripe down the center of the screen. It was quite noticeable and would annoy most people. The racing stripe was the aluminum support brace that was on the back of the screen. Since it was an acoustic screen, there was no black backing behind the screen, so when light went through, it reflected back the racing stripe. After a couple of days, it bothered me enough to take the screen back down. We took the support brace down, and put black gorilla tape on the part directly behind the screen so that it wouldn't be able to reflect back. Once we put it back up, it was a night and day difference. The racing stripe was gone, and we were finally happy.

Great screen!! I compared it to another popular option.
I purchased a 92” high contrast gray Silver Ticket screen first. It made the whites and overall image too dark. I felt I was losing the full HDR ability of my Optoma UHD60 4K projector. The screen also arrived with some flaws (horizontal line that wouldn’t disappear even after being stretched, and the screen had some waves/dimples) and the screen cost $350 vs $210 for the 92” QualGear. So I ordered the QualGear. I’m happy with it. The construction and assembly is very similar to the Silver Ticket screen. I thought about trying ST’s white, but read multiple reviews that their screen material caused a sparkling effect (think twilight vampires) which I noticed a bit with their high contrast gray screen. This effect is non-existent with the QualGear. It may sound petty, but I originally didn’t like the QualGear logo plate on the corner of the frame when I saw it online, but it looks fine in person and I’m happy with it.Overall, I’m pleased with this purchase and I consider myself very selective.

Excellent engineering and impressive quality
I researched screens for a long time. Great reviews and a reasonable price attracted me to qualgear.Fast shipping.After 2 days, my wife got tired of the box in the media room so she decided to put it together herself. It took her a little over an hour. She’s not the person who does this stuff in our home.She did a great job and it was easy enough for her to do it until the last part where the stabilizing bar in the center needed to be added. I helped her with that and hung it on the wall. Note: Make sure you have enough room as the screen is large.Our media room is dark so I chose the version of the screen for darker rooms with higher reflective quality. It is sharp and brilliant. No wrinkles or folds since it has a stretching component built in to it, which is another feature that attracted me to it. The black felt frame looks professional and reflects no light.When hanging it, i loved that it has adjustable holes in the back so as long as your nails or screws are level (and in studs if you wish) and spaced far enough apart, the holes will slide on the frame adjust! That also means the whole screen can be slid over on the wall easily after hung for an exact fit. I had little margin for error between two light fixtures and it’s perfectly centered.

Surprised at how good this is
It's a quality product for a reasonable price. I have some ambient light and the grey gives a very nice image. Very satisfied.Not that hard to put together. As others have mentioned, the center support needs some muscle and a little 'violence' to get it into place. Once assembled it look great. There was one problem though. My size had markings for 4 tensioners on the shorter sides. However, the screen itself had 5 holes. Took about 5 minutes to correct - but check first and save yourself some effortI think the mounting hardware they give you is overkill. I just used two in the top and didn't use anything in the bottom. The more screws you use the harder this will be to line up and get on the wall since the screw heads are just very slightly smaller than the mounting hole. Absolutely no reason for more if you've got a good beam to screw into. Use a 3/16" pilot hole with a 10mm socket if you've got one.

Very good quality
Wrinkle free and picture quality is great. I have put together several fixed frames like Elite and XY and this is almost as good. It was easier with two people especially at 150”. The center bar, do yourself a favor. Once you get all the screen and pegs installed put the vertical brace in place. Then undo approximately 2 or 3 pegs on both sides and bottom and top. This will allow you to easily insert the vertical stabilizer bar. Then reconnect the pegs and screen and your done. I am using a UST projector and I am very happy with this screen for now.

Excellent value-for-money screen which is not short on quality.
This is my first-ever home cinema setup. I have an Epson EH-TW5210 which, combined with a Hoya Pro 1 polarizing filter gave me a very good picture on a "tack to the wall" £20 screen. But it was a bit too dark and the screen had a sort of pebble-dash finish which I became more and more aware of behind the image. I built this screen all by myself and laid it against the wall covering some of the existing screen for comparison, and got the shock of my life. The £20 screen had a yellow tint to it, whereas this was pure white. It is also perfectly smooth and the 1.2 gain nicely offsets the darkness of the Hoya Pro 1 without losing its benefits.I am absolutely delighted with this screen and think it is excellent value for money compared to the dearer alternatives. The colours are rich, the picture is sharp with more detail, and it literally just "pops". To me, it perfectly recreates the look and depth of a cinema screen, and that's what it's about, isn't it? My home cinema is now complete and is worth a lot more than I paid for it - that's how good this combination is.

Professional approach for home cinema.
The screen is a massive improvement over me using a white wall to project onto. Construction was relatively easy via a full colour and comprehensive instruction manual. The screen material stretched quite easily onto plastic retainer/plugs as opposed to the seamingly impossible spring tension systems employed by a lot of other brands. Hanging it on a drywall proved a challenge but I managed to secure a wooden baton to the wall thereby enabling me to use the screw provided. I finished the look with LED strip lights from amazon and the result is awesome. Highly recommend this product.

Excellent screen
This is an excellent screen for use with an ultra-short throw projector. The instructions are thorough and it's vital to follow them to the letter if you want a projection surface that 100% flat. Putting the screen up needs some careful measurement and positioning to get the four screws in precisely the right place, so it's worth taking your time.

great improvement
I had just a white wall before which was already o.k. since we are not watching so often. Otherwise, why not having a screen. I've read some reviews about foldable or rollable screens and almost decided not to spend the money, finally found this one. GREAT! Quite easy to assemble (daddy and daughter), and what a great improvement! The sharpness and colour intensity got a lot better. No wrinkles at all, and according to the mechanism I think it will never wrinkle. Easy to handle, when not needed, you can free you wall :)

Great screen
Great screen for the money. Bought the 100" screen as most places either sell 93" or 110" and really needed 100" to fill the space.Quite easy to put together the only fiddly bit is attaching the screen to the wall - You put 4 screws in the wall and you hook 2 on the top and bottom. Bottom ones are nearly impossible so I ended up using a small amount of pink grip to secure it.Only downside was Amazon Prime. Took nearly 15 days to deliver the item - Not 2 as advertised
