Ceiling recessed versions of all motorised screens
Fixed screens with velvet borders
2.35:1 screens
Multi-format (16:9, 2.35:1) screens
Screens up to 150" diagonal
Details are sparse, with descriptions largely being copy-pastes of other screen descriptions, so that even fixed screens are mentioned as being electric. We'll see how these screens pan out, I suppose.
Prices are reasonable, especially for tab-tensioned electric screens and huge dual-format screens. Not quite sure what the dual format screen comprises - motorised masking panels, perhaps?
Just hung my 133" white screen. The frame looks real good. People with wave issues, make sure you tension the screen much as you can. We had to redo a corner several times to get the last waves out. Now it is perfect. I don't see any hot spots nor do I see textures. Also, the viewing angle is really good.
People who have hung on the wall, do you guys use both top and bottom brackets? I only used the top bracket and used two screws into studs. It feels pretty sturdy.
Very impressive box. Unfortunately, today was trash day and now I have cardboard everywhere, but nevertheless, the screen is hung! It looks wonderful and I'm extremely happy with it so far.
I also got my new Denon today, so tomorrow the receiver goes in, as do 5.1 of my 7.1. The other two (side surrounds) are going to take some finagling with some fish tape since they are a pain the ass.
I'm praying that the final part of my mount comes in tomorrow as well so I can hang my projector. Then I can push my couch in the game room in there and wait for my chairs to make it in later this month, early next month.
It's finally starting to look like a media room rather than just a cave!
Got the email that they were back in stock and pulled the trigger. Was going to go with 110 Carada but the masking feature won out. Going to be paired with an Epson 8700ub, anyways gives me incentive to finish painting so I can ge this mounted when it shows up.
I'll likely be ordering the 133" motorized white in the next few days as well (my epson 5010 arrives tomorrow, and I want to shoot it at the wall to see what 133" will look like first).
There's no way I would order it *without* the tab-tension. I'd rather shoot on a wall than on a non-tensioned screen.

I am told that tension isn't strictly required up to size of 106 inches, but makes all the difference in the world above that size. So a 90-inch screen is not comparable to a 133-inch.
Tab-Tensioned Motorized Projection Screen (Somfy Motor) w/ IR Remote - HD White Fabric (133 inch, 16:9)
Shooting the 5010 at unfinished (tape and spackle) dry-wall made me wonder why I need a screen at all...it looked that good. Hopefully this is be an obvious improvement. ;-)

Wish I could have considered a Monoprice, due to tight specs I really need more size info...so I ended up with a Da-Lite Cosmo Tab Tensioned with Da-Mattte screen material. Quite a bit more than Monoprice, but at least I know it will fit.
I think it is safe to say Monoprice does not do their own manufacturing of these screens, so most likely it depends whether they are sourcing all of them from the same Asian factory or from different factories. I would suspect that is more determinate than the price.

As I posted before, I am skeptical that they are made by Gandview or that Monoprice buys them from Grandview for these prices. I think it much more likely they are purchased from the same sources(s) in China that Grandview buys some (or all) of their screens from.
For those who have the motorized versions of the screens, what side of the screen is the power cord on? I'm in the process of finishing up electrical in my theater and want to make sure I get the outlet on the right side.
I'm looking at the 106" model.
Thanks!
