Silver Ticket Products STR Series 6 Piece Home Theater Fixed Frame 4K / 8K Ultra HD, HDTV, HDR & Active 3D Movie Projection Screen, 16:9 Format, 120" Diagonal, Woven Acoustic Material STR-169120-WAB

Update after three years of use: I uninstalled my screen a few days ago to access some equipment behind the screen and found that the fabric bonding for one of the rod pockets had come "unstuck" over several inches. A photo is included to illustrate. Because this is the first time I could see behind the screen since installation, I can't be sure when this happened. This has not yet come loose far enough to be visible on the exposed projection image side. However, as you can see from the photo, only another inch or so needs to let loose before it can be seen. While it's been a while, I think its fair to expect that was not supposed to happen and was a manufacturing defect. I have reached out to Silver Ticket to see if they can help. I'll update this review when they respond. Here's the original review from 2015: This is my third acoustically transparent screen...the last was a Draper AT1200 106" screen. I wanted to go bigger because my new JVC RS46u can throw a bright enough picture in 3D to make this possible. I've been a home theater fan for many years, and have owned a dedicated theater for well over a decade. Since the days of Laserdiscs, CRT projectors, and Dolby Surround. (You might find me on AVSForum, Emotiva Lounge, or the Polk Audio Forum as "rtart.") As part of my constant upgrade path, I did a lot of reading online before pulling the trigger on the ST screen reviewed here so had no surprises about the assembly instructions (or lack thereof). Watching the YouTube video makes it all clear, and a little mechanical inclination makes it fairly easy to put together and mount. The biggest issue with screens is their shipping size and cost...a ten foot long box is going to cost to ship. ST makes this screen frame in sections, so the longer (top and bottom) frame sections have to be connected somehow. ST manages this issue well, with a very sturdy connector between the two sections. The frame side sections are one piece, so no middle connection is necessary. Corners go together with reinforcing brackets and screws, and are very sturdy. After joining the top and bottom halves, put the corner brackets on the top and bottom first, then connect the frame sides. I recommend adding the hanging brackets at this point, and figure out how you are going to mount the screen to the wall. Trust me, it's easier to do if you can reach through before the fabric is installed. Once you mount the wall bracket halves onto the wall, its time to install the fabric. Pull down the frame and lay it "ugly" side up. Roll out the fabric and thread in the rods in the pockets. The shorter ones go on the top and bottom and meet in the middle. Start in with every third spring to get started, then fill in the ones that are missing. (The diagram does help a little here....the springs should clip down over the rods, and then the other end into the channel on the frame) Fabric is pulled snugly by the springs, but inserting the middle supports (there are 2 here) was easy. I installed the hanging brackets onto the frame first, and set one end against the bracket while "encouraging" the other end to the other bracket with a mallet. If you orient them correctly (see the diagram) they will go in pretty easily...but you WILL need a mallet to get it done. Don't be shy, but you might want to wrap the mallet in a clean cloth to protect the screen surface. A few small wrinkles in the screen, but I expect them to come out in a day or two. If this is an issue, I will revisit this review. Fabric appears to indeed be 1.1 gain, as compared to my other screens and a couple of samples from other manufacturers. Acoustic performance also appears to be as good as past screens I have owned. The weave of the fabric is invisible from my viewing distance, which is around 11 feet. All things considered, this is a substantial screen that appears to have cost a LOT more than I paid. I would recommend it to anyone considering it. Took me about an hour, by myself, from opening the box to watching a movie.

This review is for the STR-169120-WAB Silver Ticket 4K Ultra HD Ready Cinema Format screen. I received the package and it was well boxed. The instructions were a bit sparse but it is easy to figure your way thru. Assembly of the frame was easy enough. I had a little challenge with layout of the blackout cloth. This stretchy material is acoustically transparent and goes back of the screen. As it turned out it was the very same material I used in my wall mounted acoustic sound panels. This back cloth I think is intended to stop reflection of light off anything behind the screen and probably provide consistent viewing across the screen. The material was really stretchy so take so time to lay it out equally across back before springs. The product came with 2 wire tools that hook one spring end and used to pull into place hooking on frame. Those were very useful and much easier than long nose pliers. Two different lengths of tension springs were provided. It was unclear which to use initially. On first pass I used the long springs around the whole parameter. When you attach the tension springs hook the material as well as the screen. Once springs done its time for the challenging support bars. To get those in place it took two people. One pushing the top and bottom outward while the other moved the bars into position. Afterwards I wondered if doing perhaps 2 or 3 springs per side to hold screen in place then putting bars in place would have been easier. One could then put rest of springs in place. After I was done I found 2 wrinkles in lower left corner. I changed the springs out to smaller on the left side and 3 or 4 along left bottom. This did the trick. I have 3 full range speakers behind the screen in false wall. Overall I am running a 7.1.4 setup. I wanted to see if I had any loss of sound before hanging screen and after screen install. I used a sound meter on tripod at 3ft. With one speaker active and using a frequency test CD I tested the following frequencies: 251,499,997,1999,4001,7993, and 12503 hz. I first recorded readings with no screen and then with screen in place. The before and after readings indicated very little loss if any. This exercise was really more out of curiosity than anything. Of course any small loss could have been negated with the ole "turn the volume up". Overall very satisfied. The price point and quality met the needs of my dedicated home theater room.

I purchased the 120" Acoustically Transparent Woven screen. I have only had it up for about 2 days now so I wanted to leave a review while everything is fresh on my mind. First off, for the money, it is an absolutely incredible value, especially if you go shop around for other screens. The assembly is not hard AT ALL, though it does take a little bit of patience. When I first unboxed all of the parts my initial reaction was I was super impressed with the quality of it all considering It cost me $400. The metal frame is super hard and sturdy. The black velvet wrapping around it is super nice and clean, and the screen material is not some super thin, easy to rip material. For anyone looking at the Acoustic Woven screen, let me address the most common concern, loss of sound. To the human ear, there is Zero. I was actually more concerned when I opened it to discover that there is actually a secondary black fabric that goes behind the white woven material. It is just like the material most Floor speaker's fronts are covered in, but two layers?...I was worried. The truth is I actually watched movies for few weeks in the room on a TV, on a stand until I got the screen and projector up. So I know what it sounded like before and now, and there is zero difference. Okay so I guess with an sound measuring device, there may be a small decimal of loss, but your ears can not hear it and there is no muffling. The picture that shows up on the acoustic fabric is second to none. You dont even know it's perforated unless you are 1 ft from it. I would guess it will take most people 1 hr to assemble the frame and 25 minutes to mount the brackets and hang it. Now that I have done it once, I could do it all in 35 minutes or so. Note: I am using an Optoma HD142x as the projector and the in wall speakers are all the Polk RC line. I bought the entire set up on Amazon and the screen, projector, 3 speakers and the PW 505 sub, I have a home theater that is awesome to someone on a Budget yet still appreciates good sound and image. I was in film school for 2 years so I have set in a lot of 20-30K dollar screening rooms, this is not that, but for 10% of the price, the difference is so minimal. It wows my kids, it wows my friends. When a decent 75 inch TV from Sam's Club cost $2,000, I will take a true home theater over that any day.

I had an electric FAVI 98" screen before buying this. I couldn't stand the speakers and system sitting below the screen. Also felt that the white at the top and bottom of my old screen should have been black. The old screen had a slight curve in the screen on the bottom which I was told they will have. Part of the issue with electric drop down screens is that the screen will not be stretch as tight. Based on that you get some distortion in the video although I never felt that was a huge issue. Always thought I could go to a larger screen in that room as well. I purchased the new screen mainly because my kids are grown enough they will not draw on the screen. I wanted to get the speakers hidden behind the screen as well. After everything was setup It ended up being exactly what my system needed. The center channel sounds amazing as I was able to get it to the right placement. Also it is good to have the sub right in the center so it's not off to either side. Everything is very well balanced now and despite being behind the screen it actually sounds better. The only downside to this is setting it up, and not just the screen. The room setup took a good 10 hours or so to pull walls down. I used the space behind the basement stairs. As for the screen It's a pain to get those springs in place. Then I had to put the fabric up behind the screen so it wouldn't bleed through (they provide fabric that is also acoustically transparent). Now that I have all of it sorted out, its amazing. I have walked into showcase theater rooms at high end audio places that don't compete. It's my own private theater for a fraction of the cost.

This review is for the 120” transparent acoustic screen. Running a Denon 5050ub 4K projector with a Denon 6400 receiver with all mid-range in wall Klipsch speakers. The screen was the component that I was most apprehensive about. All the A/V experts warned me to stay away from the AT screens because you can see the weave with some companies and it would ruin the viewing experience. I set up my projector about 12 feet from screen and my seating is 12-14 feet away. I’ve had absolutely zero issues with seeing the weave. 4K and all content is beautifully rendered on the screen. I recommend checking out “The Flood” on Disney+ to see just how clear the content can be on this screen. Installation instructions weren’t the best, but they weren’t bad either. I noticed the set comes with a few different size springs so we just installed based on feel. The screen comes rolled up so we had no issues with wrinkles. There were just a few light ones on the bottom but like other reviews have mentioned, those will go away after a few days. VERY happy with my screen!!
