Elite Screens Spectrum2, 110-inch 16:9, 12-inch Drop, Electric Motorized Drop Down Projection Projector Screen, SPM110H-E12

For a budget friendly screen. I have to say I’m rather impressed. I’ve been done the road of some pretty crappy electric screens. My studio has an elite screen Tripp’s screen which is nice and has held up very well despite its numerous Uses over the last couple years. So I’ve always had elite screens in mind. I’ve looked at the more expensive models and the basic spectrum screen. One thing I don’t get is the use of the cheap and very slow moving “synchronous motor”. Even in the higher end tab tension screens of larger sizes this motor is so slow that watching ice melt is more entertaining. By the time the screen is down the movie is over. Just look at the many any reviews of the spectrum series on YouTube. But when the spectrum 2 model came out it was a game changer. Finally a screen with a tubular somfy motor that extends and retracts the screen much more efficiently and smoothly. It’s has a much nice sleeker case versus the typically hexagonal case of it’s cheaper counterpart. And it even comes with brackets that not only make hanging the screen easy, but also allow a much nicer finish cause they are basically hidden from sight. No end cap mounting options which limit the centering of the screen if there’s not a stud or ceiling joist in the proper location. You can slide the screen case along the hidden brackets for optimal centering of the screen even if the mounting point of off center. Freaking brilliant! I also like the inline wall switch it’s simple and effective. And it’s also detachable! So if you want to add an optional remote system. You can. And either configuration can be done by a 6 year old. No hard wiring diagrams and all that like some much expensive screen options. The case is very study. It’s a heavy screen but not overly so that a novice would have difficulty. It got a 12 inch black drop and two inc black borders along the other three sides for great framing ability of the picture. My screen hangs very nicely with no ripples or waves. And even thought it’s not tab tensioned the screen has remained almost perfectly flat with only very very very minimal curling of the edges. I also like that this screen is very low odor when it’s first unrollled. Many screens both cheap and expensive have a very strong inflatable poo toy or air mattress smell to them that lasts and lasts. Not this one. Only very faint smell the first couple times and after just a few days the Ames was gone completely. Elite screens doesn’t mention how to do this but there are up and down limit options on the model as well. It come standard with a 12 max drop that it is pre set at. And sadly a sticker over the down limit states that warranty will be voided if removed. But if you know how to use the limit switches properly you can adjust the drop and rise limits of the screen. Beware that this screens lower bar does not rest the full into the case like other such as the da lite cosmopolitan or Draper targa. But instead the weighted rod comes to a stop in like a special cradle or groove right at the opening of the case. So be careful not to adjust the up limit switch too far should you run into any slack when the screen stops at the top. I had to make a very small adjustment on mine as it hung just a mere eights of an inch short of the dowell rod resting point. Unit runs smoothly and quietly when in operation with no hesitations, skipping, jutters, or unnecessary vibrations from the motor or roller. Just flawless up and down motion. I highly recommend this screen to anyone from a novice to pro video guy that is seeking a more affordable option but still wants great quality features and reliability. This is also a great option when a ceiling recessed screen isn’t an option. Elite screens Spectrum 2 series is the way to go. Don’t settle for their regular spectrum with the “synchronous motor” go for the spectrum 2 for that great tubular Somfy motor!

電動プロジェクタースクリーンはやはり良いですね。価格も他より2万円近く安かったのでとても満足です。

This review is for the Spectrum 2, 110-inch 16:9 motorized screen. Be sure to read reviews that are specific to your product.This is a decent screen, if you want just a screen to view video on, particularly given the price point of 360 bucks. However, if you're looking to integrate this into a universal remore (like a Harmon), this is not the screen you want.First, let's go over the basics. The screen comes extremely well packaged. This may be an upgrade from previous versions, since many people complained about their screens beat up during shipping. This one came with two foam end caps and five square donut spacers. The box would really have to get crushed to cause damage. In the shipping box comes the well-packed screen, and mounting hardware (two brackets). The screen has a power cord that is about 11 feet long. Five feet down the cord, from the screen, is a in-line momentary switch to raise and lower the screen.On to mounting. The mounting hardware box has two mounting brackets, two adapter plates, four plastic anchors, four 2-inch wood screws, and four bracket-to-plate machine screws/nuts. The screen can be mounted to the wall, to the ceiling, or from a ledge. To mount to the wall, use the wall anchors and run the screws through the back of the bracket. To mount to the ceiling, use the wall anchors and run through screws through the top of the brackt. To mount from a ledge, attach the plate adapters to the brakets using the small machine screws and nuts, and then attach the adapter plate to the overhanging ledge. Snap the screen in place and you're almost ready. One nice thing about this mounting system is that even after you've mounted the screen, you can slide the screen left/right for small adjustments.This where the problems start if your power outlet is located near your mounting location. The power cord, with it's in-line switch, is meant to plug into an outlet near your floor (based on the UP/DOWN switch). If you plug it in to an outlet located up on your wall or ceiling, you cannot reach the in-line switch. As well, when plugged in to a low outlet (so that you can reach the switch), to lower the screen you press what you would think is the UP (upper) button. To raise the screen you press the lower button. As one reviewer mentioned, this is backwards and would take some getting used to.Unfortunately, the screen has no built-in sensor for a remote. To get wireless remote functionality, you'll need to purchase the ZPM-RT Optional Remote Kit (110 additional bucks). The ZPM-RT is an add-on box that you'll need to mount somewhere near your screen. As well, there is no way to adjust the drop of the screen if you're using a wireless remote (other than hitting the stop button). This means if you are using an universal remote, the screen gets the GO signal from your remote and the screen drops all the way down to one preset position. This means you'll have to adjust the height of where you mount the screen or adjust your projector base on where the screen stops. Some remotes may allow you to send a stop signal during startup.Pros:- mounting system is easy- reasonable priceCons:- in-line up/down switch is upside down- remote is an add-on module at additional cost- no limit setting for screen drop

11/14/2018:I'm replacing a killer 96in 4:3 Da-lite screen I've had since 2003! (...when you couldn't get a flat panel bigger than 55in that was less than 4in thick and under 100lbs!Not wanting to spend $1,500 again on a Da-lite screen, I settled on two candidates. The QualGear Ultra White 1.2 and the Spectrum2, after about 3 months of searching.The one common theme of ALL the reviews from people that had ordered either one of these screens was shipping and customer service issues. I thought I would be the one lucky person to not experience those issues. I was VERY, VERY wrong.The screen arrived trashed (See pictures.) Two day shipping.I've opened a return and already re-ordered the same screen. Let's see how it goes....Really hope the Spectrum2 screen looks good. The QualGear (which also arrived in a box that looked like it had been used as a punching bag) was wrinkled, saggy at the edges and didn't have the contrast was expected in a dark room.12/1/2018:The replacement Spectrum2 screen arrived a few days after I returned the first one. (Very easy return process through Amazon.) This time the screen was in a factory sealed box with all the parts were there!It took about 20min to screw the mounts to the wall and hang the screen. The power cord IS in an unfortunate place, but it's easy to hide/dress over or under the screen housing. After about a day of the screen hanging and extended on our wall, the shipping wrinkles has relaxed and were no longer an issue.The contrast and gain on the screen is great! It doesn't produce speceling like some higher gain screens doo and the texture of the material helps "smooth out" the DLP projectors natural pixel structure.Keep in mind that this is a WHITE SCREEN, if your using it in a high ambient light or bright room and want big bright image....but a 96in OLED panel. If you want 110" of pure cinematic bliss in a dark room, this a much less expensive option.All-in-all, this was a GREAT choice to replace my old $1,500 Da-lite screen.

I think this is a very good quality screen at this price point. There is a slight curl at the edges, but I just left it down for several days and it is flattening out nicely. It is not noticeable with the projected image. There was no remote with this screen, but I knew that when I ordered it. The one star for the remote is that it is not included, the option is overpriced and it is not available at this time. I have purchased similar screens at this price point that included a remote but did not have mounting hardware that was this well thought out. I really liked the hardware that came with the screen, which allows you to mount it to the wall where the studs are and then just snap the screen into place. A lot of screens just have attachment points at the ends which may or may not line up with your studs. I'm not fan of plastic anchors in drywall. This is a large screen and I was able to snap it into place myself with no problem. The clips snap into a channel on the back of the case so you can slide the screen left and right once it is mounted (if you don't place the clips right at the ends). I installed a new projector that used the same mount as the old projector, but the lens was in the center of the projector and the old one was on the right side of the projector. This meant that the new projected picture was a little to the left of the position of the old screen. Because these screen clips let you slide the screen horizontally, I was able to just slide it a little to the left to line up with the projector rather than having to do a lot of electronic manipulation of the image to make it line up with the borders of the screen or having to mount the screen to the wall where there were no studs. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase, but would have liked to see a remote included.
