Really happy with the purchase of the 120" ALR CLR projector screen. The screen was shipped within a week of placing the order and everything arrived in excellent condition. The assembly of the screen was straight forward and the light weight made mounting on the wall effortless. Did have a problem with the initial placement of the screen, but a quick adjustment with the bracket placement resolved the problem. The screen is great in a dark room and looks good with the lights on. The picture takes a significant hit when the sun shines considering i have large windows. I don't watch much tv during the day so not a real problem for me. Look forward with many hours enjoying movie night with the family.

After reading all the reviews, went with Formovie Theater, and have been impressed by it. I paired it with Spectra Vantage 100" screen.

I had originally selected the Formovie Fresnel screen. However, as my screen sits in a cove, I was told by Projector Screen experts that I would be better of with Spectra, and then could enjoy better viewing angles.

I was instructed to paint the sides and ceiling of the cove with light absorbing paint, which I did. Overall, very impressed with the setup.

Biggest headaches in this project were the Spectra assembly instructions, which are not great.

Printing the instructions on a letter size paper helps a bit to try to understand what the images try to convey. Another headache was figuring out how to house my existing home theater speakers.

Ended up buying two sideboards from Amazon that perfectly fit the width of the cove and modifying them (cut a hole for center speaker, cut a hole and installed metal mesh on doors, rotated doors, etc)

I researched projectors on and off for the better part of November and eventually went with this Formovie Theater. 

Having read though many reviews I knew what to expect with some of the limitations and annoyances that many people posted about.

In terms of my equipment to compliment the projector: 

-Using 4k Firestick.

-AudioQuest Forest 48 HDMI.

-120" Spectra .5 ALR UST Screen.

-Dennon Reciver and Definitive Technology 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos with 2 additional Sonance in ceiling speakers.

-Built my own media console due to the center channel conundrum. (Equipment wose: console was probably the hardest thing to sort out and spent a lot of time trying to find something and never did)

The initial framing of the image was frustrating as I struggled to fill the full screen. The Spectra Screen mounting instructions were a little lacking and ended up having to remount the screen 1" higher but that's more on the screen than the projector. Like other have noted, the upper 3rd of the screen tends to be a little more blurry even with the focus correction. There are wheels on the sides of the projector that help balance the image and I leveled the projector several times to ensure a square image.

Once you get the image framed as well as you can there is a frame of light that hits the wall behind the projector that is a little annoying but it seems like that's the trade off to fill the screen. Pictured below.

I was actually pretty pleased with the picture quality of the stock selections. I don't know if it's the Spectra Screen helping it out but I have been really happy with Standard. I did calibrate the Dolby Vision to my 120" screen with .5 gain. It's just two sliders in the Dolby Vision part of the menu so very easy. 

I blacked out the room but the image is still bright enough to view with the lights on or the curtains open on standard settings but personally wouldn't like trying to watch in a well lit room. 

I did test the built-in sound on its own and it is much better than a traditional TV design. But as good as it is, if you are wanting it for a theater room then you should plan on upgrading your sound. 

I did not have any issues with eARC with the Firestick plugged in directly or running through the receiver. 

For $3k I don't think there is another projector currently on the market that can deliver the quality and features that this projector can.

All things considered, super happy with the projector and I have recommended this item to some friends who are interested.

I am new to UST Projectors, but have been following them via Brian at Projector Screen mainly on AVSForum for a couple of years. I pulled the trigger with an outstanding package deal from PS just before Christmas. Got the projector before Christmas and the screen a couple of weeks later. With the holiday chaos and planning it has taken until just now to get things squared away. The pic is a YouTube replay of the recent Falcon Heavy launch during the day (today) in a moderately well lighted room. No great pics of evening/night time HDR to show, but fear not. Everything I have seen with out-of-the-box settings so far from movies, NFL football, and even SDR news is stunning. An ATV4 and Tivo Experience Android streaming box fro my CATV service are connected directly to the AWOL. Have not used the AWOL Firestick yet. Sound is via eARC Between the AWL and Nakamichi 9.2 Shockwafe eARC soundbar. If you are on the fence with the AWOL, get off it and start enjoying one.

Bottom line: Overall we are very happy with our Spectra Vantage UST ALR screen, Formovie Theater projector and ProjectorScreens.com’s customer service.

Regarding customer service, my screen shipped out before the projector but unfortunately it was lost during transit with FedEx. ProjectorScreen.com responded to my emails quickly. Luckily they were able to ship out the replacement screen and projector at the same time so I received them together. 

For reference, this is our first foray into projectors and we we are using the Spectra Vantage UST ALR screen with the Formovie projector. The projector partnered with an ALR screen is a perfect match. If you didn’t no any better you’d assume it was a tv. The picture is crisp and the colors are bright and not faded. We do have our projector setup in a basement that has one small window not facing the screen on the other side of the room. So we are able to get it very dark when viewing, but even with lights on it still looks quite good. We aren't serious gamers but PS5 games look spectacular and we have not noticed any delays. Fast moving sports look good too, but we did have to tweak the settings a bit. Our biggest complaint is calibrating the screen. Getting it to fit and line up with the screen perfectly took quite a bit of time and patience. I can’t speak too much regarding the Android/Google interface since I’m using an Apple TV on mine. The speaker sounds great. I haven’t set up my home theater receiver and speakers yet so I’m relying on the built in speaker and it honestly sounds really good. Not room filing but still very good sound overall. 

Overall we are extremely happy with our decision to go with the Formovie Theater projector.

This is my first projector of any sort, so I am no guru by any means. With that said, a buddy of mine has a ceiling mounted projector that is 5 years old and this blows that one out of the water.

As expected, the picture is a little “pale” during the day but is very vivid when the room is dark. I also have a wall of windows that I can’t put shades on, so there is a good amount of light coming into the room where I have this stationed; so the fact I can still watch TV during these times shows it’s pretty bright overall.

I also don’t have a dedicated sound system and the speakers are great.

Great depth and able to provide a surround sound experience and it feels like I’m at a movie theater at only 50% volume.

Getting the Spectra Projection Vantage screen put together, mounted and getting the Formovie projector sitting just right was more of a hassle than I expected but that’s mostly due to the instructions that came with the screen and not so much the Formovie projector.

All in all, I would highly suggest for someone looking into UST’s!

After a brief wait, I received my Formovie Theater (and Spectra Projection Vantage 120” UST Screen) just in advance of the holidays. While it's only been a few weeks, my initial impressions are all very positive.

Setup of the projector was relatively quick and painless and the projector just checks all of the boxes for me: 

* It’s bright enough for a room with natural light, though the experience is certainly improved the darker you can make your space. 

* The remote and user interface is streamlined and easy to use, even without instructions. 

* The lag while in Game mode was imperceivable to me (though I’m far from a professional gamer).

If I were to offer constructive feedback to the team at Fengmi, it would be to (1) consider a rebrand (2) simplify disabling all lights on the front of the unit and (3) provide a little more instructions in the focus setup screen: I found myself wondering if I should tap left and right repeatedly or hold left and right to get into focus - and wondering why is there no up and down focus option?  

This is my first projector and my first experience with an UST projector, but all I can say is that everyone who sees it is impressed and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the projector/screen combination or my purchasing experience with projectorscreen.com. This is a great projector at a great price and, aside from not having any real context for longevity/customer service, I wouldn’t hesitate to give this my full recommendation.

This projector is really the all-in-one device (affordable, insane picture quality, and sound system). Dolby vision really comes through and adds much more contrast (making blacks blacker). The projector + ALR screen with indoor lightings looks great. I was really impressed with how clear the projector looked without it be washed out much. However, the project does struggle more with natural sunlight (since the light rays just bounce everywhere). It still looks really good in bright scenes, but darker scenes struggle. I got blackout shades to help during the day. The sound system on this is out of this world. You don't even need to buy a home theater sound system with this. The bower & wilkers integrated speakers are so gooood, and it gets LOUD. So loud that my fiance won't even let me turn it up to half volume. It never crackles, and its so crisp and clear. Lastly: projectorscreens.com is legit. I never heard of them before, but their customer service is really good and responsive, and shipping is fast. I was really pleased with the whole process and would really recommend this to everyone I know.

Things to Watch Out For:

- Netflix doesn't work natively. Even though the projector runs on Android TV OS, Netflix requires the product be partnered with them or else the app doesn't work.

- Need an ALR (ambient light-rejecting) screen. Basically don't spend this much money on a projector if you're not getting the screen because it makes a massive difference.

- May require custom TV Console/stand. I had to find a really low stand for this projector so that I didn't have to mount the ALR screen super high. So I may have to make a custom tv console.

Just got the projector set up in a temporary space before moving it into our home theatre area that is being renovated. Even as it projects straight onto drywall, I was amazed at the image quality! I can't wait to see what it looks like when we move it to our Spectra Vantage screen, but in the meantime it's still an image worth bragging about. I was also surprised by how loud and full the audio sounds straight from the projector!

Again, this was good enough were I would be satisfied with it as a standalone if not using it in a dedicated home theatre space.

My biggest issue so far was the on-screen setup process gave very little instruction on the image positioning focus and angle guidelines. Some of this was intuitive, but I would have felt more comfortable with some kind of text explanation on how to optimize the projected image.

Overall very happy with the purchase and even considering getting another for my office!

As you can see from the picture this is a dedicated theater room.

I am using a Epson laser 3D 4K short throw projector for this project.

For a short throw projector it requires a special screen. For my screen I went with a 100 inch screen made by spectra projection. I chose this company because the screen was made out of very top quality material and ease of assembly. This screen in conjunction with my projector gave me the very best brightness and vivid color that a laser projector can reproduce.

I would recommend this company to anyone who wants the very best screen for their home theater.

After deciding to purchase a UST (Epson LS800) for my first projector I needed a good ALR/CLR screen and after a lot of research I settled on the Screen Vantage Projection 100" screen. 

Aside from the CLR/ALR features, reviews were putting this screen at the top of the ratings with some of the deepest blacks, and I didn't want to cheap out after investing in a great projector but looking at the more expensive competitors I couldn't justify the $2-3000 price tag of the more expensive competitors as they didn't offer anything that this screen couldn't do outside of the material for the border. However, screenprojectors.com was selling this at a great price that easily saved me $700+.

I will also say customer service was amazing. After verifying my order it was on a truck the next day and arrived within 4 days (NJ to OR). It was very well packaged, no damage, and everything was well organized for easy assembly. 

I assembled the screen by myself which didn't take too long and I took my time to make sure I did it right, didn't scuff the velvet frame, and didn't have any wrinkles on the first try. The longest part of the whole process was finding a 2nd person to help lift it and put it on the wall brackets.

As you can see in my picture (no filters or edits - exposure just looks different because the screen is so bright), with the lights on and with no screen present, the image was pretty washed out especially with a light above the wall. 

However, once the screen was placed on the wall the image was absolutely amazing! As you can see in the image even with lights on the image pops, colors are amazing, blacks are incredible and only get better with the lights out, and I can say that between this screen and my LS800B, this is definitely a solid TV replacement and something any home theater enthusiast would love and be proud of. 

If you're looking for a great screen and willing to invest in something you won't regret or need to buy again, then get the Spectra Vantage Projection screen that fits your needs!

This review is specifically for about the Formovie Theater projector with a Spectra Vantage 120 inch screen.

Pros:

- Very impressive image quality

- Bright even during the day (2800 lumens + ALR)

- Surprisingly good sound for built-in speakers

Cons:

- Significant over splash due to the small bezels (even when not using keystone)

- The built-in speakers don't work with external audio devices (e.g. you can't add a subwoofer)

- It's not noticeable when looking at it head on but the screen I received has some streaking

Overall I am very happy with this combo and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it assuming the cons aren't a deal breaker.

I am new to projector world. Projector screen team helped me to find best projector based on industry standard and within my budget and requirements. I love the picture and sound quality of for movies theater.

Projector screen team suggest me spectra projection ALR 120” screen to match with projector and with combination of projector and screen, picture quality is stunning. I would say it’s close to LED tv.

The service from Projectorscreen is also commendable, from tracking to installation to technical help they are always there. Hats off to great team at projector screen. Thank you for your help and excellent product.

This is our first projector and we've only had it for less than a week so far, but it's definitely met our aspirations for bringing a theater experience into the living room. The picture quality is amazing, does not feel like there is any compromise coming from a relatively new 65" LED TV and that alone exceeded my expectations. On the other hand, the size just transforms the experience whether it's live sports, movies, or just binge streaming a series - everything feels significantly more immersive and it's a real pleasure to watch.

Setup of the projector itself was very straight forward, it updated to the newest firmware without a hitch and configured the wifi and settings from my android phone smoothly. I have it connected via eArc to a Sonos ARC, sub and surrounds again without any issues. I'm also using a Shield Pro with it primarily for streaming and that transferred from the TV to the projector without any issue hdmi-cec worked for both without any work. Still tweaking the picture settings but have no real complaints with the image out of the box. Dolby Vision seems to work fine from the Shield, I kinda like the notification tag it adds to the screen for a few seconds when starting compatible content (vision and atmos). Haven't played with streaming games over the Shield too much yet but looking forward to messing with that next.

The Spectra screen was definitely more work to assemble, but the mounting mechanism with the height adjustments in the brackets made that easier than I had expected too. The finished product looks great and works really well even with reasonably high ambient light. I do have blackout shades for the wall of windows facing the Arizona sun next to it, but it's still entirely usable in less than ideal lighting conditions.

Couple of quirks that I've also seen documented on the AVSForums too, but willing to live with them and hoping they get addressed in future firmware releases.

-WIFI periodically cuts out entirely - the unit can't see any available networks until reset/rebooted. With the Shield on a Gig LAN connection it doesn't impact me much, but would be more of an issue if you were relying on the built in media apps for everyday use.

-If you disable the built in speakers it throws an alert window you have to close every time the unit is brought out of sleep asking you to confirm the setting.

I can live with those quirks, but it would be nice to see them addressed down the road.

As you can see from the pics, I have the projector mounted inside an Ikea Besta TV stand and that took some modifications such as adding a TV slide unit and cutting holes for a pair of USB fans to help with air circulation, but the final result is pretty clean and the projector slides away neatly and is protected when not in use.

Joe was great putting together the order quickly and helping me deal with some unique shipping challenges. Felt much better making the decision to give the Formovie a try based on their reviews, participation in public forums, and hosting events such as the projector shoot-outs. Strongly recommend working with the ProjectorScreen team if you're thinking about making the plunge like we did!

I’ve never owned a projector before, so I did some research before buying. What led me here was the projector shootout video - with the Formovie Theater coming out on top. I was super excited to get it and set it all up. I paired it with a screen that I thought would work, but the guys at projectorscreen.com called me and said it wouldn’t pair well. And if I’m spending this much on a projector, to spend the extra money on a high quality screen too. After I set it up, I’m glad I did! The projector and the Spectra Projection Vantage 120" screen look great!!

Purchased the formovie theater ust projector with recommended spectra projection vantage 120 inch screen. Right out of the box the picture is surprisingly good. I am going to have it calibrated once I fine a good technician near me. I am using the new nvidia shield pro for content and upscaling. I must say this made a huge difference. The projector is capable of displaying a fantastic picture but needs a good source. The oppo player with Dolby vision content is exceptional. You will never get the brightness out of an ust projector that my lg oled had but the size and surprisingly good black levels make you not notice the difference after viewing for a few minutes. I am using this as my main tv, on 4 to 6 hours a day and am very pleased with my decision to go this route. I have adjusted all the settings I can with internet calibration tools. Adjusting blue and white balance, setting contrast etc made the black levels and color better. The color on this projector far exceeds my expectations. I can highly recommend this projector with the 120 inch screen as recommended by projector screen.com.

I am truly impressed with what the Formovie Theater projector can do. This is my first foray into digital projectors. I’ve heard horror stories of washed out colors and difficulty in setup. I can honestly say the picture blew me away. The colors were vibrant across all spectrums. Even dark scenes look great. The blacks probably are helped by the dark Vividstorm screen material. As for the setup, it was a very fairly easy once I got the distance from the screen set correctly. The focus screen was a little confusing, but once I got the hang of it it came in very clear on all 4 corners.

The internal speaker sounds good, like that of a mid to high quality soundbar. However I use a Yamaha AV receiver with a multi speaker setup, so I only listened to the internal speakers of this unit briefly after I set the picture and focus for a quick run through of picture quality and geometry. I am using a Vividstorm S-Pro 100 in floor mounted motorized screen on an existing low profile wide TV stand.

The ForMovie projector rests on the Spectra motorized shelf attached to the tv stand and all in all the setup came out very professional looking. I highly recommend this unit and look forward to watching movies on it. It has the additional capability of being an Android TV with an intuitive android app interface if you want to use it to replace an existing TV. As for me I use it in addition to a 75 inch Sony Bravia which I have setup behind the motorized screen. I can honestly say I believe the picture from this projector on a 100 inch screen is better than that of the TV.
