Budget Backyard Projector Screen

We purchased this projector to setup a backyard theater (teens: movie/video games, sleep out in tent). Didn't want to spend a lot of money; however, wanted HD with an HDMI input. This projector fit the bill - affordable and bright enough to light an outdoor screen. Paired with a screen from Backyard Drive-In, it works beautifully. Easy setup, intuitive menus and excellent documentation.

If you are looking for a projector screen and are on a budget this screen works perfectly. You can spend a lot more for only marginal improvements. If manually lowering the screen isn't a deal breaker this screen is worth a look.

We use this projector screen in our church activities.

I purchased this projector to have outdoor backyard movie nights. The picture is crisp and clear and the lamp is bright. Great for outdoor movies! Very pleased with this product and highly recommend.

My family loves to watch movies in the backyard, and that was a bit of an issue with my first projector, because I bought a cheap Vankyo projector for $99. The main issue I have is that I have young kids who go to bed early, and in the summer that often means before the sun has set. My backyard gets tons of shade, but it was always still too bright to see an image with the cheaper projector and the image was also only 720 and never got very sharp. This limited our outdoor movies to early spring and fall/winter at best. So I decided to upgrade, and I'm glad I did. This Epson is SUPER bright, and the HD image quality is sharp as a tack from edge to edge. it's bright enough to be seen in the daytime well before the sun goes down, provided it's not in direct sunlight. Setup is easy, and adjusting the focus and the keystone to get a nice rectangular image is a piece of cake. We have a 120 screen, and the projector only has to be about 10-feet back to fill that size. It lacks some features and extra ports than other high end projectors will have, but for the price it's the best. A single HDMI is all I need. We connect that to our Apple TV, and then I have a nice set of outdoor bluetooth speakers that pair with the Apple TV for great stereo sound. This projector has a speaker, but you really should use something else if you can. It also has an AUX to output sound to a speaker via a cable if needed. I am very happy with it, and also happy with the fast and safe shipping from B&H.

This projector is great for every application. I use it in the backyard to have movie nights. Soo convenient, portable and user friendly with many features.

I installed them next to my projector screen and they sound great.

Anyone looking to extend there monitor onto a TV screen or projector this is the way to go.

Using this to decode an NDI source to a projector in Church services with live stream. We previously were sending the Presentation Laptops screen to the OBS computer via NDI, and used a separate proprietary wireless video feed to the main projector. Got this so we can use the same NDI source for both and eliminate the wireless projector feed. It is working well. One thing to be aware of: the projector will display will go blank in a couple of seconds if there is no video and audio activity when using NDI Screen Capture as the source. This can be an issue during power points with static screens. You can set the decoder to keep the last thing displayed on the screen or allow it to go blank. I prefer it to go blank so I know something is wrong right away. You can also resolve by making sure the NDI Screen Capture is using an active audio source (like the microphone). This decoder has been reliable and is reasonably priced. Perhaps other decoders won't have the inactivity issue but they are also more expensive. This has not been a show stopper for us.
