I placed an order for one of their 106 inch multiformat screens on 3/8. I was intrigued by the built in masking system and wasn't seeing anything else similar anywhere.
I've been pleased with Monoprice in the past but I'm not sure this purchase is going to be worth the effort. It might be a fine screen...they just don't have a good way to get it to you.
I paid $165 to have it delivered (I figured I could justify it due to their 15% off site wide coupon that weekend) and for that fee you would hope it would get here within a reasonable time frame and without a ton of hassle.
UPS Freight is just impossible to work with. I was told it would be delivered on Friday the 13th (that should have been my first clue that this wouldn't go well). They admitted to losing it when I called in and started a trace while informing me that I would get the results by Monday. Monday I noticed that it had been scanned again so I called in and was told it would be out for delivery that day. So I stayed home again. When it didn't change to out for delivery status by lunch time I called again. They told me that I would have to call the local depot to schedule an appointment because it was a residential delivery. I called the number provided and was told delivery would occur the next day between 3-7pm...basically take it or leave it. I couldn't arrange my schedule to accomodate that...called back...spoke to a supervisor...and was told 10am to 1pm today. Which of course they missed.
The truck just got here 45 minutes late. I had to help the guy carry it off the truck and across the street but then again nothing surprises me at this point.
Buy your screens locally.
