How to Choose a Front Projector Screen

At Screen Innovations, we’ve made it a whole lot easier for you to select the best front projector screen for your system. We had to—the amazing selection of screens we offer can be somewhat overwhelming! Some decisions are simply a matter of personal choice. Others depend on the size of the room and the audience seating. Still others, such as the choice of screen material, are quite technical, and for these choices, we offer an easy-to-use selection wizard.

Decide on the Style and Shape of Your Front Projector Screen

The style of your front projector screen will depend on its intended application. For classroom or commercial use, where the screen may need to serve in differing environments, a portable pull-up or pull-down screen is the only choice. When you have a dedicated viewing space, whether in a conference room or a home theater, you can install either a fixed or retractable screen. The advantage of a motorized screen is that it can be retracted out of sight, especially useful when the room is used for other purposes. The only disadvantage is that the most advanced screen material, Black Diamond, is semi-rigid and can’t be retracted.

The aspect ratio of your screen depends mostly on what you intend to view. a widescreen format is preferable for home theaters, where you will be watching movies. For business presentations or television viewing, 4:3 or 1:1 ratios are suitable.

Use Our Wizards to Select Screen Size and Material

As for the more technical decisions, let us do the calculating for you. Use the screen cost calculator to determine what size will fit into your budget, and use the screen material wizard to select the screen that will give you the best image for your system.
