Great screen, no need to spend more.

I got this screen to use with an Optoma HD26. It worked and looked great with it. I then upgraded to a Sony HW40ES and it looks fantastic! As an electric screen for under $200, you can't beat it.
I used the 12V trigger from the Optoma and it worked flawlessly. But the Sony doesn't have a 12V trigger. Elite makes a RF trigger module that you can put on the power cable to the projector. Once setup, this worked great too.
Elite has all the accessories that you could want, the only thing is, it'll cost you. I got the ceiling kit because I wanted this tucked up into the ceiling, the kit cost $140. The power trigger module cost another $45. So when all is said and done, I spent as much on the ceiling kit and power module as I did on the screen.
But it was worth it. I couldn't buy another electric screen with a ceiling kit and power module from any other manufacturer for less. I think the next closest one I found was $800.

Watch movies or give presentations with this Optoma projector. Its 1080p output provides crystal-clear, vibrant images, and the two HDMI ports make connecting multiple devices easy. The built-in speaker on this Optoma projector removes the needs to set up extra components for presentations or videos and reduces overall equipment expense.Not sure what size projector or screen you need?

Good projector for the money

I have never owned a projector before, but some of my friends have them. When I saw the Optoma HD26 on sale for $599, I decided to bite the bullet. The projector looks good considering it's a $599 projector. It's a great first projector. Just don't expect it to look like your LED TV. It's labeled as a home 'video' projector. The more upscale projectors are called home 'cinema' projectors (expect to spend > $1500). But it is tops in it's class, especially for the $599 that I got it for.
I guess I was expecting more because my friend has a dedicated theater room and a Panasonic AE8000, which is a home cinema projector. I have since replaced the HD26 with a Sony HW40ES. You really can't compare a $599 projector to a $2500 projector. I'm not. Just saying that there is a huge difference in the price, and a huge difference in the picture. The HD26 is probably the best projector for it's class. I just wanted something better, of course it came with a lot higher price tag...
