Elite Screens DIY Pro Series – High-Gain Rear Projection Screen for Indoor and Outdoor Use

The Elite Screens DIY Pro Series redefines home cinema with a high-performance rear projection screen designed to thrive in spaces with ambient light. Featuring the premium 2.2 gain WraithVeil textured PVC screen material, this screen delivers bright, crisp images with deep blacks and accurate color reproduction even when the lights are on. The DIY Pro Series is built for versatility, offering a simple, secure installation method through surrounding grommets and the included mounting hardware, making it ideal for DIY enthusiasts, media rooms, outdoor movie nights, and versatile presentation setups. Whether you’re retrofitting a living room, setting up a backyard theatre, or creating a portable display solution for events, this screen is engineered to deliver cinema-quality visuals with long-lasting durability.

• Premium screen material with 2.2 gain: The WraithVeil textured PVC surface is engineered to reflect light evenly from a rear projector, producing vibrant, high-contrast images. The higher gain helps overcome ambient light intrusion, making scenes pop without washing out details. This performance is especially valuable in rooms with windows, glass doors, or street lighting, where a standard gain screen can struggle to preserve brightness and color accuracy.
• Rear projection versatility for indoor and outdoor use: The DIY Pro Series is designed to support rear projection setups across a variety of environments. With its durable PVC construction and high-gain surface, you can enjoy cinema-quality images in living rooms, media studios, garages, basements, or outdoor patios during clear nights. The rear-projection format also allows flexible seating arrangements and reduces glare from front-projection sources, giving you more placement options.
• Grommet-based installation for secure mounting: Surrounding grommets enable quick, wrinkle-free mounting to walls, fences, poles, or frames. This design simplifies alignment and tensioning, ensuring a smooth, flat viewing surface. The included mounting hardware works with a wide range of installation scenarios, helping you achieve professional-looking results without specialized tools or professional installers.
• Edge-to-edge durability and clean aesthetics: The screen edge is designed to stay taut and flat over time, resisting curling and sagging in both indoor and outdoor environments. The low-profile presentation surface blends with home decor or outdoor surroundings while remaining easy to clean and maintain, preserving image clarity and surface integrity through years of use.
• Versatile aspect and accessibility for enthusiasts and professionals: Whether you’re building a dedicated home theater, a pop-up presentation space, or a backyard cinema, the DIY Pro Series scales to accommodate different screen sizes and viewing distances. Its compatibility with standard rear projection rigs and easy installation empowers users to customize their setup to achieve their preferred throw distances, seating arrangements, and ambient-light management strategies.

How to Install Elite Screens DIY Pro Series

• Plan your setup: Measure your space and decide whether you will mount the screen on a wall, a frame, or a freestanding support. Consider seating distance, ambient light sources, and throw distance to select the appropriate screen size and placement.
• Prepare the mounting surface: Ensure the mounting area is clean, dry, and structurally sound. If mounting outdoors, seal any rough edges or surfaces to prevent tearing and to maintain a taut surface over time.
• Attach hardware to the screen: Align the screen with the grommets and attach the included mounting hardware. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners if mounting outdoors, and ensure even tension around all grommets to prevent sagging.
• Mount and level: Hang the screen in its planned location and verify that it is level. Tighten hardware incrementally around the grommets to achieve a uniformly flat surface. Re-check level after initial tensioning to avoid warping during use.
• Test the setup: Once mounted, project a test image from your rear projector. Check brightness, color accuracy, and uniformity across the surface. Make any minor adjustments to tension or alignment to optimize image quality. If needed, re-tighten grommets to maintain a smooth surface over time.
• Maintenance and care: Clean the screen surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can degrade the texture or brightness. Inspect the edges and grommets periodically, re-tightening as necessary to preserve a taut, wrinkle-free surface.
