Projector Screen Advise

[STRBramley]

Hi,
I'm looking at putting a projector in my loft but due to the shape I have a limit of how high the screen can be mounted.
I want to get this screen but I was wondering if it's possible to not have it pulled all the way down? Obviously I want to be able to see all the white of the screen but the additional top black bar I want to stay rolled up so it doesn't go as far down to the floor.
Can this be done or will it try to roll itself back up if it isn't all the way down?
I can add a hook at the bottom so it doesn't pull back up if this is the case?


Thanks,
STRBramley

These screens can be pulled and locked at whatever length, they don't have to be pulled all the way down. All the ones at my park do so anyway!

I bought a similar non tensioned screen and it did my head in, any panning pictures distort / wave badly. I scrapped it within weeks and painted a screen with white emulsion and put a black velvet border around it. Takes some time as I put a good few coats on and sanded it smooth, but it looks like a TV when in use, amazing picture. If you can't do this either get a tab tensioned screen or a permanent one stretched over a frame.

As above. Pull-downs are only suited to presentations. If you intend to use the projector for home cinema and/or gaming, fixed is the way to go.

When I had a pull down it was fine and my brothers is also fine. You just need to be very careful to fit it so it's perfectly level imo.
