Where the Elite screen comes up a bit short - is in that it has a visible hot spot. This is not uncommon with vinyl surface
screens. It means the image will be brighter around the spot where your eye is in line with the reflection of the image
directly from the projector's lens.
So with the projector ceiling mounted, if you are in line with the center of the screen, the bright spot will basically be where
you would see the projector if your screen was a mirror.
In terms of available sizes, the ezFrame in 16:9 format starts at 84" ($589 list price), and comes in these other sizes: 92",
100" ($689 list), 106", 120" 135", 150", 165, and 200" diagonals. There are quite a few sizes (8) with 4:3 aspect ratio -
again, starting with 84" and going to 200".
To give you a better idea of pricing, Elite publishes a MAP (minimum advertised price) that dealers must adhere to, which
more closely reflects selling price. The 92" and 100" 16:9 Elite screens have MAPs of $489 and $499 respectively.
As is usual, freight on screens is expensive by virtue of most screens treated as "oversized" by UPS, FedX and trucking
companies.
Conclusion:
The value lies in the pricing - with a 100" 16:9 Elite ezFrame screen selling for about half of a Da-Lite Cinema Contour
with ProTrim (their fancy velourish border), and barely a 1/3 of a Stewart Luxus Deluxe, it allows home theater people to
own an attractive looking fixed wall screen, with good performance, at a price that simply isn't available from the larger
established brands.
Note: High contrast gray surface projector screens, are generally recommended for projectors with lower contrast ratios -
typically LCD home theater projectors, and some of the lower contrast DLP home theater projectors. However, some of
today's DLP projectors are pretty bright for fully darkened rooms, so, in that case, this screen type might work well even
with a 2500:1 or higher contrast projector.
