Please read your owners manual, there is a way to adjust the screen for it to be preset to stop at the desired location.

I called yesterday they said that they would not have any 120" 16:9 tension tab motorized screens for 4 months. Looks like Elite tension will get the call.

Alex (HTDepot),

I want to adjust the drop down of my HDVio screen.
No instructions are provided with the screen.
I e-mailed HTDepot but they just answered I should call to get instructions.

As I am in Uruguay, South America, and my spoken english is not that good to call is almost impossible.

Would you please send me instructions on how to do it?

Thanks
Gustavo

We do not provide instructions for the HDVio on how to adjust it, how ever it is not complicated. If you trace the fabric on right side UP into the case (meaning look up) you will see there is either a black or red HEX screw. The one facing down is for the bottom adjustment, the one on the back of the case covered by a rubber stopper is for the top adjustment.

Alex,

O.K I am a total newbie here but have been lurking for a while.I am ready to pull the trigger on one of your screens as I live close. Your quote is making my think twice. Could you clarify. Is there something top secret here or is it that you dont want end users to mess with these settings. Or do you not like to support your product over a web forum????? - I dont get it?

After reading dozens of comments on AVS about how to chose a screen, what to expect, etc. I finally bought my first screen to complement my 720p Panasonic projector. After carefully reviewing all prices and reviews online I went for a Focupix tensioned, model " Focupix TensionFlat 16:9 WidescreenTab Tensioned Electric Projector Screen w/Remote - 100"".

The shipping cost was outrageous, but as the base price was low, it was still less expensive than other comparable screens. It came in a huge wooden case (hence the shipping price I reckon), fairly easy to take apart (with a hammer though) and a very easy mounting system.
Dropping the screen takes about 10 sec. I have not detected any waves or default after 2 months, and I am really please with it.

I don't have a full HD projector and full HD player, so I can only comment on 720p content and projection, but it looks quite stunning. The only drawback is that the remote is not infrared, so I can't control the screen with my Logitech universal remote – but I knew that when I bought it.

I'm thinking about the 110" High contrast Grey electric model. It has a .9 gain. Anyone using this screen with a HC1500? Is it still bright enough? Thanks.

They have this model back in stock from the looks of it. Has anyone purchased it and can share a few pictures? Did yours have any waves or marks on it?

I am thinking about getting the Focupix TensionFlat 16:9 Widescreen Tab Tensioned Electric Projector Screen w/Remote 135 inch 16X9- for my theater. I am just skeptical about spending so much with out being able to read any reviews on it. For those of you who have a similar screen. Do you like it?

We need some more people to post their results with more screens in the forums. That would really help those of us who are on the edge right now.

I purchased the Flexio 110" (SKU 20026) electric screen in early Feb and have used it a couple of times a week since then with a Mitsubishi HC6500. It has met all expectations to date and I am quite pleased with it. I don't really have a good point of comparison as this is my first projector and screen.

I purchased a 110in Focupix Flexo series 1.3 matte white about 5 months ago. I just wanted to say I am totally satisfied with its performance with the price I paid. It is was very easy to hang and setup.

Thank you for the review. We are in the process of designing an upgrade package that will allow IR remote capabilities.

We were short staffed. Just made a couple of manuals, let me know if there is any more information that you need.

I've had my screen for a long time now as well flexio 125. The thing looks great! It was one of my better purchases for sure. Still havent adjusted the bottom limit, but it's not a huge deal for me. I actually don't think I want it set. I just let it drop to where I want and hit the stop button. It gives me some play in case i want to go a bit lower with image. Nice product, would recommend

Hi Guys

I'm looking to upgrade my 120" fixed 1.4 gain WilsonArt DIY laminate screen. I've been eyeing the DaLite HP (awesome gain but narrow cone) but then I came across the Focupix BriteG 16:9 Electric Projector Screen w/ Dual Remote - 125" - Elegant White.

http://www.htdepot.com/Focupix_Brite...69a-120-wh.htm

i) Without reading the entire thread, has anyone got any experience with this particular screen (size doesn't matter ;-))?

ii) Is it possible to cut out the material and then mount it into my fixed frame?

Thanks

Hi Alex, thanks for the manual, but I'm confused now.

In a previous post you stated:

In the PDF you state that the one on the back is for Bottom adjustment and the one on the front for Top, all the way round.
Is the post or the PDF manual correct?

I don't have the screen installed in it's final location yet so I didn't try to adjust it.

i) The BriteG has the same viewing angle as the High Power screen from Da-Lite.

ii) I would not recommend this as for this material cannot be stretched like that of a fixed frame or a Tab Tension screen. You would have a really hard time making sure the fabric is completely flat. You would also run the risk of creasing / cracking the glass beads in the fabric during the process.

What kind of projector are you using? What is your throw distance? Describe the lighting in your room.

The factory has changed this around to increase ease of adjustment. We would not be able to tell which one you have unless you actually attempted the adjustment. Easiest way to tell is to start from the back, lower the screen all the way and turn the adjustment counter clock wise. If the fabric slowly starts "jerking" down, then the manual can be used with your screen. If the back has no affect on the bottom adjustment, then its the other way around.

Feel free to call us during this process and I can stay on the phone with you while you attempt this.

Please keep in mind glass beaded screens are recto reflective. If your projector is NOT somewhere around shoulder / eye level you will not experience the full benefit of your glass beaded screen.

Also, the HDVio glass beaded fabric is slightly brighter than the one of the BriteG model.
