DragonFly screens - Page 3

I'm in the Dallas area (Frisco) and would love his name and number. Thanks. PM me and i'll PM you as well to ensure you see this.

Hey Folks, I am looking at a new projection system and got a quote for a Dragonfly Motorized, Matte White for $990 plus tax, picked up locally.

Is this a competitive price?

'

Size? Regular or tab tension?

If it's a regular screen, IMHO you could do better but if it's a tab tension then you are getting a good deal.

Just wondering how much these things actually list for. I have a price of $1200 for a 100" fixed screen.
I am thinking this is way out of line. Can anybody message me with some price parameters.
I tried calling Snap, but they won't give the consumer any info on pricing.
I am thinking that I may skip the Dragonfly and go with another screen-just looking for a fair price from installer.
If anyone from Snap is monitoring, I would appreciate some info, otherwise I will look elsewhere.

100" fixed MSRP $1299.
100" electric non tensioned MSRP $1299
100" electric tensioned MSRP $2399

Duplicate....

Sorry. I intended to put the model number in my posting. It is the 100" diagonal non-tensioned. Model#: DFM-NTT-100-MW.

Thank you.

I can't tell if it is out of line or not, but I would recommend you look at Seymour Screen AV. I have been looking at a few different screens and was recommended a Dragonfly by one store and a Da-Lite by another. The screens looked good and the two B&M stores were pretty much offering the same price for each. I decided to do some researching on my own. Found out their was a screen manufacturer in my home town right here in Iowa SeymourAv.com

I called Chris (he is the owner and posts on avsforums under the name chriscmore) and he had me come take a tour of their factory (small operation). Answered a ton of questions (I am a screen Newb) and gave me some samples to take with me. I am looking at their Glacier White 1.3 non acoustically transparent screen in a 16:9 format (they make 2.35 scope screens also and can do custom). Customer service, great reviews, American made (and local to boot), and the samples have sold me. Their 100" diagnol 16:9 fixed screens run either $859 or $1220 shipped depending on which frame you want. They use a grommet system to fasten their screen to the frame. Anyways I would call him or pm him here and at least see what he has to offer.

Given the Margins on that screen I would say this is NOT a good price. I know because... Well, lets just say that I know


Tell them $850 and THEY come build, install and hang it. This still leaves more money per % in it than any other screen company they could sell you. Make them do actual WORK for their money. You know... the old fashioned way. Nothing wrong with that.
