Elite Screens ER92WH1 Sable Fixed Frame Projection Screen

The SableFrame from Elite Screens is an entry-level fixed frame screen for today's home cinema 720p and 1080p projectors. It's easy to assemble and installs in minutes. The black velvet-surfaced 2.36" aluminum frame enhances your wall's overall appearance and absorbs projector light overshoot for crisper images. Choose from three available screen materials.

The highly versatile CineWhite Gain 1.1 flat tensioned screen material provides a 160-degree viewing angle for a satisfying picture from nearly anywhere in the room. The AcousticPro1080P2 screen material delivers optimal color neutrality and is designed for 1080p projectors. The tensioned PVC PowerGain screen material resists hot spotting in the presence of ambient light and provides crisp color reproduction. Adjustable fix plates provide equal tension over the entire projection surface, while sliding wall mounts ensure the installation is properly centered.

  Elite Screens Customer reviews :

I was putting together a nice home theater area in the basement for the family. I did a lot of researching on what screens to buy. I am no expert by any means when it comes to home theater components but this Elite screen really impressed me.

It was easy to put together. It took maybe 45 minutes and everything snapped into place with ease. I thought stretching the screen might become a little of a chore but it was simple and straight forward. The frame (covered in black velvet) screwed together with the enclosed allen wrench. Mounting on the wall was a breeze. Attached the brackets to studs in the wall, level of course and the screen sits right on the brackets. We were watching movies by that evening.

The picture was excellent using our Optoma HD20. The screen has a gain of 1.1 and gaming and Blu Ray movies were sharp and bright on this white matte screen. I realize the projector is an important part but the screen also adds to the experience and this Elite screen combines great performance and ease of installation.

I am very happy with Elite Screens ER92WH1 Sable Fixed Frame Projection Screen. I did a fair amount of research on the Elite Screens sable vs EZ-Frame series. It turned out that the only difference was in the shape of the frame. The sable series cost a full $100 less than the 120" EZ-Frame. The screen material and mounting method was identical. The frame shipped quickly directly from Elite. Assembly took about 2 hours, and the instructions were clear.

The velvet edging was sprayed on to the aluminum frame, but it i well done, and doesn't come loose. It seems to do a good job at blocking light overspill.

Actually, there are other small differences in the Sable vs the EZ Screen. The EZ-screen is available in white, gray and acoustically transparent perforated fabric. The Sable is only available in white. The manual also indicates that the mounting brackets on the EZ-Frame are somewhat better. The Sable had a pair of metal clips that screwed to the wall, while the EZ-Frame had a total of 4, plus a bottom clip.

The Elite material gives a good and bright image with my Epson 8100 projector. It is bright and has god contrast as well as color neutrality. There is no hotspotting and it seems to handle low levels of ambient light well in my basement theater.

I own an Epson 8350 projector which I also purchased from Amazon. It's my first projector and to start off I projected onto an off white wall in a light controlled room. I thought the picture was more than adequate so I decided to hold off buying a screen. Now, after 9 months, I've decided I want to paint the theater room a darker color, so I bought this Elite Sable screen.

I'm very happy with this purchase for two main reasons. First, the screen does offer an image quality improvement over a painted wall. The picture is slightly brighter, a little clearer, and the colors are a little more accurate. None of these were dramatic improvements, but they were all noticeable and the combined result is a significantly better image.

The second reason, and really the biggest benefit for me, is the look of the screen in my theater room. Before, when the projector wasn't on, my room looked like someone had stolen my TV. Now, on or off, it's clearly a theater room. Also, a huge unexpected benefit is that it provides a frame for the picture that gives my eyes a defined viewing area. I never felt like anything was missing while I was projecting on the wall, but now that I have that black border I realize that my eyes prefer the defined viewing area.

This is a great looking screen when not in use, it really adds to a room. I assembled it by myself in a little over an hour, and it was not difficult. I followed the instructions and had a perfectly stretched canvas when done. It was also very easy to hang the screen from the wall.

I highly recommend this screen, either on its own, or in combination with an Epson 8350. I regret not getting the screen sooner.

This screen exceeded my expectations in every way. The picture from my projector looks awesome, screen was easy to assemble, looks great and is very sturdy, and the packaging was perfect with all the parts very well protected. I thought I had to spend $800+ to get a good projector screen but that is not the case, I am completely pleased with the Elite Sable Frame.

Another one of my budget home theater purchases was this Elite Screens 110" Sable Fixed Frame screen I bought on Amazon. I was first drawn to this screen due to the price, but most importantly, the availability of a 110" screen (Monoprice does not offer one, 106 was too small and 120 was way too big). Elite Screens offers some of the most affordable projection screens I found, which would usually trigger a red flag as I am typically a supporter of the "you get what you pay for" statement. However, that statement certainly does not apply this screen.

The screen frame itself is made of aluminum, which is lightweight yet very sturdy once assembled. Upon assembly, it did take some tweaking to get the corners perfectly square, but the mounting holes and screens allow for some variance to accomplish this. There were a couple spots where it appears the frame hit the corner of something as the velvet was marred, but it didn't bother me enough to send it back (nothing a little black marker couldn't take care of). Some have commented on having gray streaks in the screen material, but I did not notice any. Other than a few creases, which instantly vanished once the screen was properly tensioned, the screen itself was perfect.

Assembly took me about an hour as I really took my time to make everything perfect. Make sure you have plenty of floor space, the screen was much larger than I expected when laying flat on the floor. Also, make sure you keep the floor clean and clear of loose items, I'm sure a sharp edge would make a 'lasting impression' you wouldn't want on a screen you're going to be staring at for hours on end. If I did it over again, I would have worn gloves! Do yourself a favor and get a pair of mechanics gloves, something that will cushion your fingers, but still provide plenty of dexterity. There are countless 'tabs' that you will use to secure the screen material to the frame, some take some force to get in. My fingers were raw by the time I was done (my fault for being impatient and not working smart). I used the drywall anchors that came with the screen to mount the hangers (measured and spaced evenly across). A laser level and/or 4ft level really come in handy here, you really want to make sure the screen is level (especially for someone as OCD as I am). Once the hangers are mounted to the wall and the screen is hung, it feels very secure.

Another minor complaint I have is that the center support bar on the back of the screen sometimes vibrates against the wall at certain low frequencies. This likely has something to do with the placement of my subwoofer (directly below the screen), but it can be annoying. I plan to pull the screen down and adhere some kind of material to the bar to absorb and quite the transfer of vibration.

Performance is excellent, but feel that is mostly dependent on the projector (I am using an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 5020UB) and lighting conditions of the room. I will say that it does need to be quite dark in order for the blacks to be truly black, but that's not the screens fault, that's mine for not being able to adequately control my lighting. In a perfectly dark room, the screen is flawless and the picture quality is impeccable.

The reason I only gave this 4½ stars is due to the minor blemishes in the velvet, minor tweaking it took to get the frame just right, and vibration of the support bar at certain frequencies. Overall, this screen is a phenomenal value and I would highly recommend it (or other in another size) to anyone who is looking for an attractive screen that performs well for a low cost.

Elite Screens ER92WH1 is made of excellent quality and looks phenomenal when hanging on my wall. The picture is bright and crisp coming from my BenQ W1070. The assembly wasn't too difficult but did take me about an hour and a half to two hours to put together and hang. My only complaint, and maybe this is my fault, is that when hanging on the wall, the bottom left corner is out away from the wall about 1/2 inch. You cant tell, and it doesnt really affect anything but it is still present. Again, idk if it was my installation or if it came like that. Overall a wonderful screen and a price that you cant find anywhere else!
