Review: Cheap eBay 6x6 foot projector screen on tripod (Eur 130)

OMcGovern

Hi,

I bought an entry level LCD projector last year, and had been making do with projecting it on to a large magnolia painted wall.
The problem there was that projected white looked too bright / washed out.

Projector screens seemed to be ridiculously expensive, and I was looking for a tripod / free standing one.

I ended up going for one of these ( same seller ).
Only cost £39 (screen) + £51 (postage) in Sterling... roughly Eur 130.

It's a great improvement in image quality, proper colour rendering etc.
HUGE screen, 6 x 6 foot. A nice bargain compared to the price of other screens out there on the net.

I'm sure there's plenty of projector perfectionists out there who'll turn their noses up at this, but for the "entry level" projectionists out there, I'm very happy with this. If I can only get my old N64 hooked up, I'm be ringing into work sick for a few days

regards,
Owen

Depends on Komplett's delivery charges... yours is Eur 104 ex delivery.
My was Sterling £39 ex delivery

But, yes it's a comparable enough product.

I didn't want to drill holes in my ceiling / walls, so a tripod was preferable.

Not a real price , thats a standard Ebay sellers trick of reducing the percentage of sale paid to Ebay , drop the price , increase the postage , Ebay get no percentage of postage costs.

Both nice enough screens though.
