I am upgrading my PJ to 4K and was wondering about upgrading my screen. I can get a good deal on a Screen Innovations Series 5 120" projector screen and I am considering it. I wasn't shopping for a screen but the price seems right. I am currently using a standard 120" screen (I don't remember the brand) that you can see in this photo.

Unless it has better contrast ratios or something vs your current screen I don't think it would make a difference.

What I'd like to get eventually is an ALR screen. Ambient light rejection. It is made so it doesn't reflect ambient light toward you. It only reflects light from the direction you place the projector. This allows a darker surface with better contrast even in a room with some light in it.

Thanks, I appreciate the help and will pass on the new screen until I find an ALR screen.

Screen Innovations was one of the first makers of ALR screens. Others also make them now.

Hi,
Maye you can check Vividstorm projector screen.
They have floor rising and drop down screen.
I saw there are many review videos on Youtube.
It seem that you are looking for a drop down screen.
You can check this link.
