What are Front Projection Screens?

Front projection screens are widely used for film and slide show presentations. The images are magnified by film or slide projectors onto the surface of the screen so that the audience will be able to see the presentation more clearly. Front projection screens are must-haves for home theaters, classrooms, seminar venues, events and other occasions where you need to show something to an audience.

Types of Front Projection Screens

Front projection screens vary according to size, function, and material.

Some front projection screens are small enough to stand on top of a table, or they can be huge ultra-wide screens which can be used in a theater or conference room.

Some projection screens are stationary or wall-mounted, while others are portable stand-alone types. The portable types usually come in several parts and have a pull down projector screen. Some portable types also have battery or electric powered mechanisms to make the screen move horizontally to show images repeatedly.

The screen surfaces are made of either vinyl or fabric. Colors are usually either white, off-white or gray.

Choosing Your Front Projection Screen

One of the most noted manufacturers and distributors is Draper Inc. Draper projection screens have high quality and durability, and come in many varieties depending on your purpose. You can also look up various websites of Draper and other providers to see which ones suit your needs best.

Among the things to consider would be the type of presentation, such as film or slide show. If you are showing a movie, you may be better off with wider screens of ten feet or more. Audience and size of the room should also determine the type and dimensions of the screen.

If you need to promote a product and travel to different locations, you may be better off with more compact portable types of screens.

If you have variable needs and requirements for your presentations, as in the case of educational institutions, it may be best to get both the wall-mounted and the portable types.

You can also consider projector screen rentals if you're not decided on the correct size and type of projection screen, especially if you need one urgently.
