Manual Projections Screens in the Classroom
One of the best places to use a manual projection screen is in a classroom environment. A manual screen is best for the classroom because it is easy to use and cost efficient. A manual projection screen provides the right kind of convenience a teacher needs on a busy classroom environment.
One reason a manual projection screen is best for a classroom is because of the ease of use. The screen can be mounted at the blackboard and pulled down when in use and put up when not in use. The teachers class is centered around the blackboard so the students will already have a clear view of the screen. Hanging it above the blackboard means the teacher does not have to do anything but turn around and pull the screen down. There is no setting it up and adjusting it so everyone can see.
Another reason a manual projection screen is good for a classroom is because it is cost efficient. Manual screens are the least expensive screen type and with schools budgets they can be purchased without money worries. They are also cheaper to repair since there are no mechanical parts.
Manual projection screens are a great classroom tool. They provide a convenient way for a teacher to give presentations. They can be mounted for perfect viewing by the whole class and they are cost efficient. Manual projection screens are something that help aid in education without breaking the schools budget and without being a burden to the teacher.

Hello, I was wondering if you knew how to repair a manual projector screen. It is close to a window shade when you pull down it stays when you stop pulling down. My screen will no longer go back up after I pull it down. there is some adhesives on the top of the screen and was thinking it might be wearing off? Do you have any thoughts or ideas? The screen is made by elite 84 x 84 manual pull down screen.
Thank you for your time, Mike Doyle

It sounds to me like the roller mechanism has worn out or broken. If it is still under warranty the manufacturer should replace the screen. If not, surely the manufacture can send you a new roller mechanism. But replacing it yourself might be more than you want to do.
Our sister company, PSFL (www.projectionscreensforless.com) might be able to sell you a brand new screen at a deep discount if you contact them and mention you are the blogger from the TRaC website with the defective manual screen.
One thing you might try is opening the casing just to see if anything has become dislodged. The fix might be that simple…

Okay, I have an 84″ x 84″ Panoview screen (pull down) and its got a few small humps in it. When I watch something moving a lot or an action movie the picture humps some too. Think it has come unstretched some. How would I go about making it flat again?
Thanks,
Troy

Panoview we believe is made by Optoma. It sounds like you have a defective product. Contact Optoma technical support to see if they have a solution. If it’s under warranty they should replace it.
Otherwise our recommendation is to purchase a higher quality 84 x 84 screen. Projection Screens for Less has a Crystal screen for $272.
