Projector Screen Reviews 2014

We use this projector screen in our church activities.

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

2014: bought the original Areca 8050 filled with HGST drives and used primarily for Lightroom/FCPX editing. Zero issues with this RAID. Thunderbolt 1 and see 400-600mb read/write speeds. 2020: Upgrade RAID system for more storage and better performance. After reading/watching all the reviews, I was expecting 800-900mb since my laptop/iMac still thunderbolt 2. RAID 5 with 8x WD Ultrastar providing 1100+mb and I couldn't be happier with these results. For anyone shopping one of these, don't be intimidated by the setup/config that some of the reviews note. It's a little bit of work, but nothing horrible. Honestly, I've had Alexa dongles that were more complicated to setup than this. Also: one of the review sites noted this T3 unit is not backward compatible with thunderbolt2 devices. I'm using the Apple T3-T2 adapter and it's working flawlessly. Thanks Areca for making such a solid performing array!

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

What is there to say about Applecare? It's like you're in Japan. When my screen had a defect on my last Macbook Pro (2014 15 Retina), they replaced it within a day. Within a day! Also helps a ton if you want to sell your Mac and get the latest model.

Upgrading from an iPad Air two from 2014. Massive speed and performance difference. Beautiful screen with the deepest contrast. Wi-Fi performance 600 Mb per second+. Highly recommend.

Love my new MacBook. Upgraded from my 2014 MacBook 11 inch. Surprisingly the 13 inch screen is quite larger than I expected. Nonetheless I think it’s perfect. It’ll be of good use for 2020 seeing that almost everything is virtual now. So far, our (long) zoom meetings haven’t been of any issues. Fast processor and overall a very smooth experience every time. I suggest getting a USB C to USB adapter as an additional purchase.

I am very happy with my new MacBook Air. Previously used a 2014 model Air and this one is so much faster and the screen is much nicer. Also enjoy the convenience of having Touch ID. The price was the lowest I found plus it included free overnight shipping. Definitely a plus-plus!

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.

This thing worked great. This is just what I needed to get my screen up and another screen to my projector up at the same time in my sanctuary. This was great.
