Just bought this for the weekend house and couldn't be happier. Had been projecting (from the Brookstone HDMI projector) on a pastel yellow wall but needed something for the downstairs. So happy with this I'm gonna buy another for the city, where I'm currently projecting on a white sheet backed by a black one, suspended from the picture rail and weighted at the bottom with a $2 metal dowel from Home Depot, the whole thing held together with binder clips!
Would like to see the carefully framed and arranged artwork behind the sheets again, but the whole thing is too cumbersome to put up and take down, so once this is mounted it'll be permanent. In the country (where the husband refuses to look at it when it's not in use) I've suspended it on 2 $1 hooks screwed into the ceiling beams, so that's the only hardware visible when the screen's put away. Hanging it takes under a minute, and fortunately the speakers from a shelf system were already on the mantel behind.
I was wary about the mechanism after reading some previous reviews, but I find it operates as easily as a window shade -- MORE easily actually -- maybe I just got lucky.
The dimensions are more than adequate, the price was terrific, the images look great, and I couldn't be happier!
