Manual screens have a projector screen fabric that rolls up and is stored inside an aluminium case. All our manual screens come fully supplied with fixing kits for mounting on the wall or ceiling, with full instructions. The screen fabric normally has a weighted bar at the bottom, so when the screen is in use, the fabric is kept taut. Most manual pull-down screens can be locked at the desired viewing height.

When selecting a projector screen you will need to consider what size of screen is going to be best suited to your needs, what aspect ratio you need, and whether to opt for a premium slow-retract manual screen or a basic entry-level version.

When selecting a projector screen you will need to consider what size of screen is going to be best suited to your needs, what aspect ratio you need, and whether to opt for a premium slow-retract manual screen or a basic entry-level version.

Aspect ratio is the shape of the viewing area of the projection screen. We offer our projector screens in a Square shape (1:1), Video Format (4:3), Widescreen (16:9) and WXGA (16:10). Square format and Video format projector screens used to be very popular, but the introduction of high-definition has pushed more users to opt for 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratios. It's best to match the aspect ratio with the native resolution of your projector and video source.

For example, if you are mainly using your manual pull-down projector screen for a home cinema experience, most home cinema projectors will be Full HD (1080p) as this is the standard format of modern TV sets, SKY, blueray etc. Therefore we would recommend a 16:9 projector screen to match the image shape. The black borders will add contrast and improve the image quality.

If you are using your projector screen to present presentations from your work laptop, and your business projector is a WXGA projector, it's likely that a 16:10 projector screen will be the best fit.

Square projector screens allow you to project any image shape, which is great for flexibility, however, because the image is not matched with black borders, the picture quality does suffer.

Finally you need to think about the size of pull-down manual screen that will best fit in your location. As well as looking at the overall projector screen width (commonly shown in meters - for example, 2.0m wide), you also need to look at the viewing area dimension and the case dimension. TheViewing Areais the blank white space between the black borders. This is the dimension that the actual projected picture will be. This is often shown in millimetres or diagonal inches. The case that the screen is housed in, is often quite a bit wider than the screen fabric itself. Therefore you do need to check that thiscase dimensionwill fit where you want to mount the projector screen. Especially if you are looking to mount the projector into a small space or an alcove.
