Accuscreen 800001 100-Inch HDTV Electric Screens with Infrared Remote and Inline Control

I bought this screen from TigerDirect about a month ago and it took a while for it to be delivered. It arrived three weeks later in excellent condition. It had heavy cardboard edge protectors on the edge of the box and it even had a photo on one side of the box showing what the condition of the box was like when it left TigerDirect's shipping facility - now that's what I call putting in extra care! I set it up last night after doing some calculating where the best mounting location would be and spending almost an hour installing a 1" x 6" board and two hooks. When I first plugged in the power cord for the inline control switch and pressed the down button, I was very happy to hear how quiet the unit runs as the screen was being lowered. My only complaint (can be easily fixed) is that the foot wide area of black edging showed when it was done lowering. I have since then pushed the stop button on the switch when I begin to see the black edge at the top. I set up my Optoma HD65 projector and my Samsung DTB-H260F HDTV converter box (it has an HDMI output) and it has a bright picture - even when I had a small table lamp on. I don't know what the previous reviewer's problem is (perhaps it is defective), but this is an outstanding screen for a beginner's home theater. It does what it's supposed to, looks good, and costs significantly less than other similar-sized screens (paid a little less than $200). I love it!Accuscreen 800001 100-Inch HDTV Electric Screens with Infrared Remote and Inline Control
