Question 1

How easy is the assembly? How much time needed for a first timer?

Accepted Answer

It's a straight forward process, the biggest challenge is inserting the tension rods along the edge of the screen. And this part is time consuming not complicated (easier and faster with 2 people). It will take you between 30 - 45 minutes. I've assembled 2 of these screens and it took me about 30 minutes each time. Hope this helps.

Question 2

What is the difference in Screen materials?

Accepted Answer

Hi. There are a few different options that we offer. Thank you for asking.

The WAB is made for speakers to be placed behind the screen.

The matte white is the most universal and great for dedicated rooms.  Also great for ultra short throw projection.

The grey is great for rooms with a little light or very bright projectors. Also great for ultra short throw projectors.

The high contrast and the silver are for rooms with more light.

Question 3

Can I position speakers behind it and get sound across the other side?

Accepted Answer

I know I am supposed to be answering here but I must re-ask this question and wonder if we are talking about the same screen. This is the STR-169120-WAB- the descrption of which is (16:9, 120", Woven Acoustic Material) the company describes it "The woven acoustic screen material allows speakers to be placed behind the viewing surface with no sound loss - the material is 1.1 gain with a wide viewing angle of 160 degrees". So are you all saying that it is not as advertised and still giving it such a high rating?

Question 4

White vs grey for living room with black out curtains, use mainly at night. I have a white pull down now that works well in another room.

Accepted Answer

Gray is used to increase contrast and enrich colors. It has little to do with brightness of the room. Many midrange projectors won't do blacks  well, and the the gray helps with that. A quality white screen is probably fine. Depending on your projector,  a gray screen might offer a slight advantage.  If your room is very dark be careful not get a screen with too much gain. Gain affects the brightness. Maybe .9 for you?
