STR Series 6 Piece Home Theater Fixed Frame 4K / 8K Ultra HD, HDTV, HDR & Active 3D Movie Projection Screen, 16:9 Format, 120" Diagonal, Woven Acoustic Material STR-169120-WAB

Update after three years of use: I uninstalled my screen a few days ago to access some equipment behind the screen and found that the fabric bonding for one of the rod pockets had come "unstuck" over several inches. A photo is included to illustrate. Because this is the first time I could see behind the screen since installation, I can't be sure when this happened. This has not yet come loose far enough to be visible on the exposed projection image side. However, as you can see from the photo, only another inch or so needs to let loose before it can be seen. While it's been a while, I think its fair to expect that was not supposed to happen and was a manufacturing defect. I have reached out to Silver Ticket to see if they can help. I'll update this review when they respond. Here's the original review from 2015: This is my third acoustically transparent screen...the last was a Draper AT1200 106" screen. I wanted to go bigger because my new JVC RS46u can throw a bright enough picture in 3D to make this possible. I've been a home theater fan for many years, and have owned a dedicated theater for well over a decade. Since the days of Laserdiscs, CRT projectors, and Dolby Surround. (You might find me on AVSForum, Emotiva Lounge, or the Polk Audio Forum as "rtart.") As part of my constant upgrade path, I did a lot of reading online before pulling the trigger on the ST screen reviewed here so had no surprises about the assembly instructions (or lack thereof). Watching the YouTube video makes it all clear, and a little mechanical inclination makes it fairly easy to put together and mount. The biggest issue with screens is their shipping size and cost...a ten foot long box is going to cost to ship. ST makes this screen frame in sections, so the longer (top and bottom) frame sections have to be connected somehow. ST manages this issue well, with a very sturdy connector between the two sections. The frame side sections are one piece, so no middle connection is necessary. Corners go together with reinforcing brackets and screws, and are very sturdy. After joining the top and bottom halves, put the corner brackets on the top and bottom first, then connect the frame sides. I recommend adding the hanging brackets at this point, and figure out how you are going to mount the screen to the wall. Trust me, it's easier to do if you can reach through before the fabric is installed. Once you mount the wall bracket halves onto the wall, its time to install the fabric. Pull down the frame and lay it "ugly" side up. Roll out the fabric and thread in the rods in the pockets. The shorter ones go on the top and bottom and meet in the middle. Start in with every third spring to get started, then fill in the ones that are missing. (The diagram does help a little here....the springs should clip down over the rods, and then the other end into the channel on the frame) Fabric is pulled snugly by the springs, but inserting the middle supports (there are 2 here) was easy. I installed the hanging brackets onto the frame first, and set one end against the bracket while "encouraging" the other end to the other bracket with a mallet. If you orient them correctly (see the diagram) they will go in pretty easily...but you WILL need a mallet to get it done. Don't be shy, but you might want to wrap the mallet in a clean cloth to protect the screen surface. A few small wrinkles in the screen, but I expect them to come out in a day or two. If this is an issue, I will revisit this review. Fabric appears to indeed be 1.1 gain, as compared to my other screens and a couple of samples from other manufacturers. Acoustic performance also appears to be as good as past screens I have owned. The weave of the fabric is invisible from my viewing distance, which is around 11 feet. All things considered, this is a substantial screen that appears to have cost a LOT more than I paid. I would recommend it to anyone considering it. Took me about an hour, by myself, from opening the box to watching a movie.

I purchased the 120" Acoustically Transparent Woven screen. I have only had it up for about 2 days now so I wanted to leave a review while everything is fresh on my mind. First off, for the money, it is an absolutely incredible value, especially if you go shop around for other screens. The assembly is not hard AT ALL, though it does take a little bit of patience. When I first unboxed all of the parts my initial reaction was I was super impressed with the quality of it all considering It cost me $400. The metal frame is super hard and sturdy. The black velvet wrapping around it is super nice and clean, and the screen material is not some super thin, easy to rip material. For anyone looking at the Acoustic Woven screen, let me address the most common concern, loss of sound. To the human ear, there is Zero. I was actually more concerned when I opened it to discover that there is actually a secondary black fabric that goes behind the white woven material. It is just like the material most Floor speaker's fronts are covered in, but two layers?...I was worried. The truth is I actually watched movies for few weeks in the room on a TV, on a stand until I got the screen and projector up. So I know what it sounded like before and now, and there is zero difference. Okay so I guess with an sound measuring device, there may be a small decimal of loss, but your ears can not hear it and there is no muffling. The picture that shows up on the acoustic fabric is second to none. You dont even know it's perforated unless you are 1 ft from it. I would guess it will take most people 1 hr to assemble the frame and 25 minutes to mount the brackets and hang it. Now that I have done it once, I could do it all in 35 minutes or so. Note: I am using an Optoma HD142x as the projector and the in wall speakers are all the Polk RC line. I bought the entire set up on Amazon and the screen, projector, 3 speakers and the PW 505 sub, I have a home theater that is awesome to someone on a Budget yet still appreciates good sound and image. I was in film school for 2 years so I have set in a lot of 20-30K dollar screening rooms, this is not that, but for 10% of the price, the difference is so minimal. It wows my kids, it wows my friends. When a decent 75 inch TV from Sam's Club cost $2,000, I will take a true home theater over that any day.

I'm very happy with my new screen, I bought the 120" acoustic transparent screen. The picture and sound quality is great. I was able to set it up myself pretty easy, just needed help when it came to actually setting the screen on the mounts. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Good quality and great picture

looks very nice, easy to be assembled, but you can find moire patterns(not strong) in some areas when bright white is projected.
