Reddit mentions of Homegear 110” HD Motorized 16:9 Projector Screen W/ Remote Control

I got this bad boy for around $120 last year:

They must be out of stock now. Way better than a manual one if the get them again.

This motorized 16:9 110" screen from Amazon for $130 has a 4.3-star rating on 1100 reviews:

It was recommended by someone on AVSforum.com whose opinion I trust, and I recommended it to a friend of my wife. Take a look at the pictures in the reviews of the different ways people have mounted it.

ooo yes, if you don't have a screen and just using the white wall it can make it hard to see tiner things. my friend just got some paint and it's made a great difference.

but i like a screen and my walls are bumpy and do not want to sand. so i got this

The best "non-smart TV" will probably be a projector but the best ones, much like the Ferrari discussion below, are tailored because they know people are getting just the display.

I think the reason you're getting flak is that you're asking, effectively, "I want a car in the Camry price range that is tailored to the way I drive." TV producers, and Camry producers, are going to make something that caters to the highest number of people not something that fits the pro-sumer market. Pro-sumer TVs just don't exist. They will never fit the use case of enough people to be justified. The closest thing out there are the commercial displays, but those are for digital signage (again, suited to the use case) and far beyond your price range.

If you've got a good home theater setup with surrounds and etc, get a projector. Here's a good one for $730. Then get a 120" entry level motorized screen and for $840, you no longer have a Smart TV, and have a 120" display (or there about).

I have a 110 inch motorized screen 16:9 Homegear 110” HD Motorized 16:9 Projector Screen W/ Remote Control https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J22TM7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bkAUBbAG62CT4 mounted it is almost ten feet wide. Maybe spray paint the housing matte black?

I am thinking about putting it on the top wall and using velvet? To cover the wall and ceiling. I may paint the door black also. How much do you think the cloth would cost me? It being new construction I'd hate to paint the ceiling black with its double knock down finish.

Any ideas on where the projector will have to be in the room for the best image? Should I drop the screen down lower since the ceiling is so high?


As for the closet I am thinking about putting my computer in there like a small battle station.

Or... you could get a motorized pre made for half the cost...
