Elite Screens PicoScreen, 45" Portable Pull-Up Projection Screen, PC45W

I do professional development presentations using some PowerPoint in a wide variety of settings. Some rooms have build int screens, a blank white wall and others have nothing on which to project slides. I hate lugging around a traditional screen - ti's cumbersome, heavy and takes up space. Many of my audiences are 20 or fewer people. I found this screen sits easily on a window sill, a conference table, bookcase or any number of narrow surfaces. It folds up like a window shade with springs in the back. Pluses: Ease of handling, reflective surface - works great in a modestly bright room with the lights out; adaptability; reasonable stability; compactness & carrying case. Cons: projection system (I use a standard size In Focus) needs to be closer to screen for image to correct size; would not work well in windy area; less stable than full sized screen with legs. For my needs, I cannot say enough. I've used in a dozen different situations and it has proven itself to be worth its weight!

This falls over all the time. I can't get it to stand up. Amy help?

It is nifty how it can stand on it's own, no tripod or bulky legs. Great for tabletop or small venues. It seems like magic the way it stands on it's own. It has a nice carry case and takes about 10 seconds to pull it out set it down and raise the screen. Handy and compact when it's in the case.. For road warrior use you will like that it's not heavy, but it is sturdy enough that it won't get knocked over too easily. Setup and breakdown in seconds which is great when I am on the move. Although directions are provided, it is very straight forward and a child could use it easily

If you are reading this review, just buy this screen. If you decide on something else, you will regret it. It took me a bit of research to locate this screen, but I am very happy that I found it. I was looking for a portable presentation system. I was originally planning on a small pico-projector. Most of the pico-projectors produced a small image or required a very dark room. The thought of 2 or 3 people crowding around a small pop-up screen, did not impress me as being a serious presentation. This type of system would not work with family or friends either. I decided to get a 700 lumen LED pico-projector and this screen in the 45 inch size. This ended up being a larger system than I originally planned, but it is still very portable. This screen is extremely easy to set up and produces an excellent picture. This produces a good picture for small groups (maybe more, depending on seating etc.). The room does not have to be very dark to produced a good, vibrant image. When people see the picture on this screen, it,s WOW. This is where the WOW factor comes in. because it is that impressive. I like that this screen does not need a tripod or a large table to use. The screen can be adjusted to any height so that if you are showing a wide screen picture, you can just pull up the screen to fit the picture with no extra screen showing. The base is stable when used indoors, but would not work outside if there was a breeze. Very few other screens would work outside, but this screen is so easy to use that you get tempted to do this because of the convenience of using this screen. This is a good screen and is easy to use. I am happy that I decided to get this screen.

Weak fabric,... not good for long term use....

Lovely screen, light weight and easy to use, set up in seconds. Only problem is that it is top heavy. I improvised making it more stabile by placing a small hand weight on each side of the base.

Portable. Great! Screen quality. No problems. The problem is that is falls over all the time unless you attach it to something somehow. Very disappointed for how much money I spent. It amazes me why someone doesn't get smart and attach some kind of rotating stabilizing flat pieces to the bottom to address this issue. They have to realize the problem.

Awesome portable screen. Perfect size to put at the end of a conference/dining table. Folds up nice and compact. Relatively light for carrying around, and the screen reflective qualities are very good. I use this with a small portable projector for movies while travelling, for work presentations, and for gaming with my friends. The big advantage with this one over another brand I saw was that this opens vertically. The other one I saw opens only horizontally, and if not fully extended, the spring inside wants to pull it closed. This can be a problem if the table you're using is too narrow for that screen to open fully. The only things I would change are: 1) I wish the strap on the case was longer so I could actually put it over my shoulder, or even across my shoulders for carrying. 2) I wish that the screen had some small legs or something just to give it a hair more stability. As long as your table is flat (and really, what tables aren't mostly flat?) it will stand without an issue, even if it's lightly bumped. The main housing is weighty enough even with the screen extended to keep the screen upright, but, some legs would just give you that little extra measure of security.

Spent a little extra on this screen than the competitor, hoping for a good quality screen. See picture parallel to my TV. Screen leans forward. Although fairly sturdy, the leaning gives the impression that it may fall. I will be using this for table top presentations in dental offices and don't want to have my guests get the impression that it may fall on them. May try propping it up with some bumpers at the front. Additionally the box that it was shipped in, under the Amazon box looked quite worn. I'm wondering if this one is just a bad one and if it was previously returned multiple times.

Excellent product!

Very good portable screen
