Hadn’t heard of the Spandex screens before; and while novel, theyhave a place and a purpose. For bars and DJ systems, they may work adequate.

But, if you are going to drop $60K (and believe me, it’s EASY to drop a h*ll of a lot more than $60K) on a home theater room; why cheap out on the target of your attention? Seriously, you don’t think twice about droppign several thousand dollars on speakers, at least another thousand on your receiver, around $1,000 on a good LED 1080p projector, soundproofing and furnishing your home theater with raised seating, sectionals or theater chairs (again, approximately $1,000 each) - and then throw up a $100 to 200 display? Really?

They may be adequate for a bar; but for someone who wants to sit down and seroiusly watch a movie; I can’t say I’d every recommend or even suggest the Spandex solution.

“The screen they produce is nothing short of a complete disaster. Their product comes apart after a few uses, the material they use is “off-the-shelf” spandex and ...”

For a bar and throwing music videos in VGA or XVGA formats - it’s probably ok. But for a home theater? Sorry ....

Spandex comes in different qualities. Some of it is more costly than the standard screen material you are probably thinking of.

Depends on what you want. We've been using them for a couple of years and they do just fine.
