ELITE SCREENS Aeon CineGrey 3D - projection screens (Grey, Black)

Received an Aeon Edge Cinegrey 3D 100 inch screen from Elite Screens.It couldn't even be assembled as they clearly sent the screen material for the next screen size down - so the material could not be fitted to the frame.The use of velcro to tension the screen also seems really poor for a circa £500 product.

Prodotto top e assistenza ottima !!!!

Ich habe lange nach einer passenden Leinwand gesucht. Die Aeon Edge Free mit Cinegrey 3D Tuch hat meine Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt. Durch meine Projektorplatzierung und meinen üblichen Sitz/Liegeplatz (Winkel suboptimal) war ich mir nicht sicher, ob die Kontrastleinwand eine gute Wahl ist. Das Projektionsverhältnis ist mit 1,5 auch eher nieder. Aber trotzdem Funktioniert das Tuch extrem gut. Mir fällt kein Glitzern oder Hotspot im Bild auf. Der Betrachtungswinkel ist sehr gut. Die Leinwand ist zu 100% plan, wirft keine Falten und weist auch keine Mängel auf. Das einzige was erkennbar ist, aber weiter nicht stört, ist ein leichter Helligkeitsverlust zu den Rändern. Das war aber von vorne herein klar.Alles in allem kann ich die Leinwand samt Tuch sehr empfehlen!

This is an EXCEPTIONAL product. i have yet to take good pictures but those will be up in the next few days while the whole system gets settled into its new location.Pros:Seemingly aircraft caliber aluminum construction frame built like a tankVERY nice attention to detailEasy installationBreathtaking "floating" screen appearance, with or without the included diffusion velvet.KILLER customer serviceCons:Although on the lowest end of the ALR spectrum, it is still a considerable cost when you can buy a lower end 4k LCD with HDR at 40-49 inches for the same cost. this is just a screen. literally, a screen. its 100+ inches (102 if you don't use the included velvet) but its still a glorified screen.This is an outstanding product. I buy from online and in person retailers all the time. I would even consider myself somewhat of a tech junkie, though my budgets keep my habits somewhat in the realm of affordability. This screen performs exceptionally in every area i hoped it would, and then some.The box arrived at my home in typical amazon "how the heck did they get it here so fast?!" fashion. excited i took it up to the media room and did a quick inventory check. Immediately i noticed several things. First was the actual box. other than it being brown, this is by far the nicest box and packaging for a shipped item this large i have ever seen, even the mailman mentioned it "man this feels like a solid box here". He was spot on. the packaging is so well thought out, you would have to go through 3-4 layers of cardboard to even get to anything actually inside the box which is important when dealing with a product that is ruined by any punctures or damage whatsoever.After the box was opened (very easily i might add) i pulled out the two individual "boxes" inside and the accessories boxes as well. one has the tape, one had the right angle attaching rails and one had tools. About those tools...i don't know what made them decide to do it, but these are the nicest tools i have ever received to use with a product. i have never in my life received tools with a product that made me think "ohh I'm keeping and using this screw driver after this". this product did that. they also give you a small mallet that comes in handy and it too is of such good quality it wont just go back into the box and never be touched again, "im'a use that sucker". the material itself looks to be very high quality aluminum. i have absolutely no doubt the frame will last forever. everything that was supposed to be there was in fact there.I opened the manual to see if i needed to do anything different than the very obvious when putting it together and I'm pleased that the answer was "nope". The manual was easily understood and had a clear English section however, in case you couldn't figure any part out. the only thing i could see that would even throw anyone off would be the center support beam. Something to note, as it is installed with its top and bottom hole attached to a different kind of screw then the rest of the unit. it has a head that goes inside the inner rail on the backside of the screen. If i didn't look in the instructions, i might think it was missing something needed to install it, so if your reading this just take note of that, i read several reviews of people knocking down a star because the center support beam "didn't fit". i honestly think there's a more than good chance half of those people (prob all of them honestly) just didn't read how to actually install that section in the manual that is clearly shown. the screen attaches around the frame via Velcro. As a drummer i noticed the attachment pattern was very similar to that of a drum head, you always tighten the opposite side first and move around the frame in a pattern to easily and even tightened the screen around the back. I noticed that many of the high end companies that sell similar screens tend to attach the screen to the frame with eyelets. either snap in, or tension band attachment. for those of you concerned about the Velcro, i wouldn't be, "this sucker ain't goin' no where". Once its attached. and after thinking about it, Velcro is the obvious choice because if the screen de-tensions over time, re tension of the screen is easily done here...MUCH harder if the screen had attachment holes in the actual screen material, so i say "great choice". The wall mounts are more than adequate and come with screws for both going into a wall stud, or going into drywall safely. The screen rests on the wall mounts in a channel at the top of the frames back, so once its up, it can easily slide left and right for finer tuning placement in those directions, sorry but no up and down adjustment, in my opinion though that adjustment is completely unneeded.The screen itself took a little time to get perfect when attaching it to the frame, but no more than expected really. Once on the wall you realize "DANG, that is a BIG screen". the room i put it in is about 16 by 25 but you cant appreciate how huge a screen that's nearly 8 feet wide or bigger is until you are actually physically looking at it. I'm totally convinced that if these ALR screens were more commercially marketed with mid level projectors, that they would actually out sell regular televisions, even 4k models. for right around two grand US, you can truly achieve a mind blowing picture at an even more mind blowing size.Pairing my screen (ALR cinegrey 3d) with the Epson 3500 in a somewhat well lit room with a pretty standard ambient day room light almost made me pee myself. i was hoping beyond hope that the projector technology had improved from what i had seen years ago and would look acceptable in a somewhat well lit room (pictures to follow in the next few days)...it isn't just acceptable, it is absolutely fantastic, and envy inducing to anyone that doesn't have this kind of setup that sees it and likes "big". when the lights lower, and at night, it is breathtaking. i actually use this as my main computer monitor and i am more than pleased to say it looks better than my "old" 65 inch led. I can tell you too, that it isn't just the solid projector I'm using designed for rooms with more ambient light, but the screen as well. in fact, i would give a heavier visual "WOW" to the screen than i would to the actual projector which is outstanding too.What you have in the end is an absolute no brainer buy for anyone who is looking for a fixed frame projector screen. is the black diamond better? the high end Draper better? only until you compare cost to the elite screens, then those screens go from being slightly visually better to being WAY, WAY worse because they are thousands more. If your on the fence, don't take my word for it, get it yourself, THEN feel free to thank me if this review helped you at all.

I was lucky and got this as a warehouse deal. When it came in it was in perfect shape. I think it was just an open box but everything was wrapped up and never actually open (besides the box). I have had warehouse deals that arrived with missing screws and what not - that is absolutely obnoxious of amazon to not check thoroughly. But this time we were lucky. Ok back to the screen. It wasnt fun to assemble but it also wasnt hard. I knew it would take some time. the directions were clear and not complicated. I did it with my Dad and in about an hour it was assembled and then another 20 minutes to get it properly on the wall and level. THe scrteen itself looks great - I have it paired with a sony 4k projector that has a luminescence rating of under 2000 brightness. the grey screen really makes the images sharp and pop even with ambient light. (I have 4 windows in the room and as long as I have the blinds (they block about 50% of the light realistically) the image looks great. No regrets!

I'm a professional installer and I always recommend Elite screens to customers who are trying to find ways to keep their overall budget under control. I think the difference between these and high end screens costing many times as much as negligible at best, and is more about people praising the picture quality of their projector, not knowing how much they wasted on a high-end screen.But this is my first high-contrast screen from Elite and so far I'm less than impressed. As I unrolled it over the frame as per their instructions, I noticed mechanical-looking circular marks on the upper and lower thirds of the material, they were obvious enough that my client passed by and asked, "Are those going to come out?". I told them I assumed they were some kind of residue from manufacturing, because of their perfectly circular nature (at least some of them), and that they would probably come off with a microfiber towel. Long story short, after fully assembling the screen and giving the material 24 hours to settle, the marks are still there, and no amount of gentle wiping, with a dry or damp microfiber towel, is remotely effecting the marks. I'm about to begin the process of asking them for replacement fabric, but I wanted to write the review ahead of time so it was on the books. This will be extremely inconvenient for me to have to replace, although I'm sure getting the replacement won't be an issue. Hopefully these marks are not a regular thing in the future. Warranty replacements are fine, but having to do it still heavily bites into my schedule and costs me time and money.
