I bought this based on its $99 price and reviews here on Amazon. I did read other folks had issues with broken end caps upon arrival.
I found out why. The end caps that hold the hooks are EXTREMELY fragile. I pulled it out of its well packed box and the one end landed on my carpeted floor at a hight of about 4-6 inches and the endcap and hook broke off.
It was my fault, but it shouldn't have broken that easily. However, it prompted me to not rely on the hook it came with. I took metal picture hanging wire and wrapped it around the ends and then wrapped it around my hooks on the wall. I followed it up with zip ties. I did it in such a way that all you see is the thin wire wrapped around once.
This was my first projection with my Optima HD66 and the picture is terrific.
The return roll up is a bit tough to work. It works about as good as those old window shades that you had to keep pulling down further to finally go up. The room I have it in, I don't plan on rolling it back up. So if you want to open and close it on the regular, just be aware of this. It is possible that b/c it is new, it will get better, but I haven't had it long enough to report.
Baring the cheap end caps, and hard to roll up, I am still very happy with the screen. No wrinkles, picks up the image well. So I gave it 4 stars just due to the above stated. Great economical screen for your first projection.
