Epson ES3000 Ultra Portable Projection Screen (V12H002S3Y),Black/White

Epson calls the ES3000 the "Duet Pro" and it's perfect for my home theater. I wasn't going to remodel the room, and rearranging it for a wall-mounted screen wasn't practical, so a tripod model made more sense. Most of them look like they belong in a church basement, but the ES3000 is very attractive and the construction quality is excellent.Although it is true that the top and bottom edges of the screen curve forward, this is noticeable only when sitting off to a side while the screen is still relatively new. if you leave the ES3000 open for an extended period, gravity eventually flattens out the screen nicely, to the point where the curl is very minimal. See the picture, taken at an angle. Calibrating my projector, which has a full set of adjustments, the color accuracy came out perfectly for the Rec. 709 standard, according to an X-Rite i1Display meter.I have used the ES3000's width setting to lock in 4:3, but now I just leave it open for 16:9, regardless of what I'm watching. The screen opens to its full 80" diagonal width and it stays there. I haven't had a reason to use the carrying case, but I have needed to take the screen down on occasion, and I appreciate how quickly and easily this can be done.

Works Great. Super Easy to set up and take down. I've read complaints about the case but as long as your careful with it and don't treat it like a piece of Samsonite luggage, it works fine. I roll it from the garage to the yard and it makes a great box to keep it stored in the garage too.Highly recommend over an inflatable screen. No worries about puncturing this screen.

I want to start off positive. First, I think this is the best design I've ever seen for a projection screen. In a segment where there seems to be little to no innovation, this is something different.When this screen is all folded up, I think it's far more compact than any of its kind. Primarily it's shorter, which is a huge deal. I carry this thing around in the back of my SUV, and I'm able to fit it in there width-wise. There's no other screen this size that can do that, and it's worth the purchase for that alone.I disagree with the other reviewers saying this is heavy. It's lighter than any other screen this size that I've used. Perhaps they mean that it's heavy when inside the case it comes with. If so, then yes, it's incredibly heavy, but that's not entirely fair. What other projection screen comes with its own VERY sturdy case? None I know of. The case is clearly designed to stand up to air travel, and I'm sure it could. You have to compare the weight of the screens themselves, and this screen is both a little lighter and more manageable due to its length than others.The screen is also a breeze to set up. After a few setups and takedowns, I have it to about 30 seconds on either end. It's EASY!Now the downside:The one major gripe I have about this screen is the height adjustment. I never really gathered from the listing here on Amazon or checking it out on Epson's site, but this thing simply doesn't rise up much at all. There's a clamp to release to adjust the height, but at most it only adjusts about 5 inches, and the resulting height maxes out at a level that I don't feel is nearly high enough. I use this screen weekly in a room that seats about 25-30 people around circular tables. At its highest, the bottom of the screen comes up to the shoulders of the seated people in the room. That means there's a decent amount of having to look around people's heads to see the screen. I wish I could get another foot out of it, but it just can't happen.Even with that major issue, I still recommend this screen. The price is incredible for what you get, and when folded up, it's the best shape of any screen I've seen.***UPDATE - 11/10/13***So it's almost two years later, and everything I say in this review holds true. The screen hasn't received a ton of use so I can't speak to its durability, but it's still going strong, and the case is a beast.As I just now replied in the comments, the measurement from floor to bottom of the screen has a range of 26-30". That's pretty bad, and still stands as my sole complaint about this screen. It's preposterously short. I can only assume that allowing the screen to rise any further would weaken the main stem, and since the bulk of the screen's weight is above the adjustable joint, they decided to minimize the amount of adjustability to be safe. I guess it's an understandable trade-off to have a screen that folds up so well, but it's something to consider when purchasing.I'm not an engineer, so I don't know what was possible when they designed this screen, but when the stand folds up behind the closed screen, there's a ton of room between where it clips to the back and the end of the screen. Basically I'm saying they could have made the stand taller, and I think they should have. This screen height is good for home theaters, IMO, not for presentations where people are seated in regular meeting chairs (as opposed to recliners or couches).Again, this is not enough to ruin the product, which I still think is fantastic. It's just the only thing keeping me from giving this screen five stars.

I purchased this projector screen because it was in a hard case and appeared to be of high quality. The screen has been gently used over these last 3 years. Just recently, I attempted to use it and the traction device has broken. The screen will not longer expand and hold tight so it flaps around. You have to reach your fingers into the the case and manually roll it back up. It take two people to accomplish the task as one person has to fold the screen tight while the other rolls. I contacted Epson and they referred me to a service dealer 120 miles away for repair. I went to the recommended dealer only to be told they don't work on screens and know nothing about them. I can't find anyone to work on it. For the amount of money I would expect better service and better quality.

Easily transportable and fits in a car's trunk no problem. Comes with a well-padded carrying box with wheels and rubber feet. Heavy, but probably because of all of the steel and good hardware. Easy to set up. Screen rolls out to it's three preset sizes and back smoothly and easily.

Don't buy this screen for the carrying case! I had two of these shipped to me and the latch rivets kept popping out. The screen was fine and moved correctly. The stand makes the screen sit low to the ground and there isn't much of an adjustment to make it higher.
