as it should you need a high quality surface to project on huh well luckily for you there's quite
a variety of projector screens out there and each one is good for different needs so whether you're
just looking for the next level home theater or home cinema setup want a screen for gaming

are going to find the best projector screens that will fit your needs if you're interested
in one of these screens links can be found in the description below but wait wait how
do you know which projector screen you need let me quickly explain how to get an extra 50
boost in contrast and clarity of your projections even during the daytime and if you like this
tip then smash the subscribe button for even better tips and throw a like while you're at it
now the most important thing to know about the screen is called gain gain is how reflective a
surface area is the more gain the more reflective and vice versa lumens means how much brightness is
coming out of your projector ansi lumens is how much of that brightness is landing on a surface
ansi-lumens is a better gauge than lumens what's important to know is that since you cannot
by that i mean like it's not possible to create a black light a projector projects the color black
by not projecting anything at all now imagine a white screen in a bright room full of daylight
the screen will be as white as a sheep instead imagine that screen in a pitch black room
suddenly the white screen is black and you don't see it so in ideal pitch black conditions you will
get perfect black levels on your white screen but the more brightness that enters the room
the more white your screen will look and less contrast you will get in your image
sadly the projector cannot do anything about this because it cannot produce black levels but
still if the projector was brighter you will get a little more contrast even if you cannot control
the black levels on the other hand imagine a dark grey screen in the brightness it's dark gray and
with zero brightness it becomes black as well so in perfect darkness you get perfect contrast again
this means that unless you can get a pitch black room every time your best bet for high
quality and optimal visual aesthetics will be to get a dark grey screen with a bright projector
it might be a little more expensive but totally worth it your second best bet will be a white
screen with a bright projector if you use these tips wisely your friends who have projectors and
who don't will all be baffled by your screen quality and they will quickly learn from you
depending on your projector and viewing conditions you can choose what suits you best
now that we have the main issue out of the way let's get started with the 5 best projector
screens in 2022 there are still some problems but we'll discuss those later ok coming up in number
5 is the cheapest projector screen on amazon that you can get away with the mdbebbron screen a 16 by
9 ratio at 120 inches and a current price tag of around 25 dollars if you're looking for something
cheap and quick to get started with watching your movies then this option is the way to go it's
basically a medium thick white sheet made out of polyester which has the benefit of anti-creasing
once you hang up the screen you just have to leave it there for a little while and all of the creases
will slowly come out now this screen comes with ropes which you could wove through the seams
and stretch them out and then attach the ends to whatever you find compatible or you can use the
provided stickers to hang the screen instead the benefit of this option is that it is very
portable and easy to assemble and de-assemble so it works reasonably well as a home theater
screen and great as an outdoor theater screen for home purposes the best way to take advantage of it
is by doing some DIY and adding a frame to it it will make it look more elegant and professional
it comes with a protective layer and some benefits that are better than the other options for example
it has more holes that you can use to stretch it out this helps even out any inconsistencies keep
in mind that you don't want to stretch it out too much otherwise you'll end up having something like
this which is still okay it just looks a little weird but here's where the benefit of the frame
comes in that way you won't have to see any of these faults keep in mind that when i say it's
a 120 inch screen this applies diagonally so it's really a 104 inch by 58 inch screen
now 16x9 is the best ratio for watching series tv shows and media content however the cinematic
view is a little narrower it's not a big issue you will just have extra borders on your screen
overall this option is better than most similar ones because it is thicker making
it less see-through it has a good gain of 1.1 and doesn't stretch out too much in crazy ways but the
downfall is that you will have to find somewhere to attach it to and maybe having all of those pins
holding it up isn't so aesthetically pleasing instead you could go for option number four
the best projector screen with a ready stand the osuary projector screen the best projector screen
with a stand on amazon once again at 120 inches and a 16 by 9 screen ratio it will support most
popular movie ratios oh by the way all screens support 4k projectors there is no such thing as
a screen that does or doesn't support 4k that's just companies trying to promote their products
this option is even more portable than the last one you can easily assemble it within minutes and
will probably take even longer looking for what movie to watch than assembling the highlight of
this option is the stand it comes with compared to the price most users who get this option get
it for outdoor purposes however keep in mind that almost all projector stands have problems with the
wind they fall over easily and to counter that you put weights on the legs this option comes with two
water bags you can fill but for most stands the legs aren't designed to be so strong so the wind
ends up breaking them the benefit of this stand is that it has extra rope and ground spikes that you
can use to stabilize the top of the stand to the ground that way it doesn't fall and nothing breaks
it works great for indoors and outdoors however you don't really want to keep it out all the time
when you're finished with it make sure to bring it back in viewing angles will be quite reasonable at
160 degrees making it great for larger groups as well this option is also made out of polyester and
the thickness of the material is moderately thick making it the best projector screen material type
giving you the possibility to use a front or rear end projector now number three is an interesting
one if you don't really want to have a random projector screen lying around not knowing where
to put it when you're not using it but also don't want the hassle of assembling and disassembling it
all the time then going for a scrolling projector could be a pretty convenient option for you number
three is the best manual scrolling projector screen the vivo 100 inch projector screen also
comes at different sizes that will appeal to you so no worries about that so yeah all you have to
do is get some pins installed on your ceiling and hang it there whenever you want to watch
a movie or game you just scroll it down and when you're done away it goes the gain on this option
is 1.1 which is relatively reflective meaning that it will work great in dark rooms and
reasonable in rooms with medium light but not so good in bright rooms keep in mind that it
doesn't come with the extra mounting hardware but those are very cheap so no worries viewing
angles are less than the last option at around 120 degrees still reasonable for indoor purposes
the screen has black backing which improves the contrast and reduces permeability as well
but if you have a higher budget then i suggest you go for the last two options option number two
is similar to number three but is automatic the best motorized projector screen the elite screen
spectrum electric motor projector screen elite screens offer an infinite amount of projector
screens and sizes so if you have something very specific then make sure to look for their screens
as for this option it is 125 inches giving you a small buffer in case any inconsistency happens
between the projector distance and your screen aspect ratio is still 16x9 somehow this screen
allows for 180 degree projections and is loved by many users its fully blacked back improves
contrast and with a 1.1 gain as well you will benefit greatly from this projector but keep in
mind that it is not compatible with short and ultra short throw projectors when you go for
higher quality options you get higher quality services good lifetime customer support and a
two-year product warranty this option is the second best option for home theater purposes
the only downfall is that it has a relatively too high gain which could get into the way of using it
during the day so if you're planning on only using the screen during night time then it is a great
option for you however if your goal is to use your projector both during daylight and night then
option number one will be your best option to go for a fixed frame screen not only that but it also
has different colors each suitable for different circumstances the silver ticket projector screen
coming in the following options gray material best for use during day and night high contrast
material unbelievable contrast during night and good for the day silver material similar
to the white one and white material best for the night my favorite material for the price is the
gray material at around 320 dollars for 120 inches true it's a little more expensive but it's totally
worth it you will clearly see the difference in quality in any of your shots luckily silver ticket
also provides many different sizes between 90 and 140 inches the frame looks very professional feels
like you have a super large tv instead of a sheet of polyester viewing angles for the grey option
are at 120 degrees the ratio is 16 by 9 and the gain is close to 1. this option is great for both
long throw projectors as well as short and ultra short throw projectors so it's the best option in
general but especially important for short throw projectors with fixed frame screens their main
benefit is that you get no material tensioning problems or creases because it's stretched out
to the perfect degree if you are confused about anything or have any questions feel free to ask in
the comments below i will answer them ASAP oh by the way one more thing before getting a projector
screen make sure you project your own projector onto the wall or area you want it to be in
then double check and measure the size of the projection diagonally this will help you get the
best size fit you need so once again for long throw projectors you can go for any projector
screen you want but for short and ultra short projectors it's better to go for a lower gain
screen the height of your projector screen is also important to improve your visual quality ideally
place it so that your head is in the lower third of the screen hope this was helpful for you if you
still don't have a projector and you want to know which one is best for you well luckily for you we
have that already covered you can check that in these two videos here i wish you a nice day
you
