Hanging projection screens are very convenient to use in a situation where the screen will be getting a lot of use. Hanging screens are securely mounted on a wall or ceiling. They can either be a flat screen that remains hung or a pull up type of screen that rolls up into a casing that is also a part of the screen.

Hanging projection screens are probably one of the best known projection screens types. A couple good examples are movie screens and classroom screens. Movie screens are permanent frame style hanging screens. They are hung without the intention of taking the down. Classroom screens are often a pull down style of hanging screen. A typical classroom projection screen is mounted above the chalkboard and pulled down when needed and retracted into their casing when not in use.

Hanging projection screens may be easy to use, but they also require regular cleaning since they are exposed often to debris and dust in the air. A pull down style projection screen that has been open for a while should be cleaned before pulling it up as the debris that has settled on the surface could pose a risk for scratching on the screen surface when it is rolled up. A permanent mounted hanging screen should be cleaned to prevent the build up of debris which is damaging to the screen.

Hanging projection screens offer a way to eliminate storage concerns. They are not taken down and stored, but remain of the wall or retracted when not in use. This type of projection screen is very convenient for a situation where the projection screen will be used quite often or used on a regular basis.

Tripod projection screens are a type of that are portable. They are great for a person who needs to travel to give lectures or conduct meetings. They can turn almost any room into an instant meeting room.

Tripod projection screens offer some great benefits. They are wonderful in a situation where a projection screen is needed but there is not one available. Some areas are simply not designed for a hanging or permanent projection screen.

Tripod projection screens include housing, like a pull down screen with the addition of a collapsible tripod and extension rod to hold the raised screen.

When traveling and using a tripod projection screen often the risk for damage is greatly increased. A person using a tripod projections screen should be aware of the proper method of transporting, set up and take down and storage.

Tripod projection screens are easy to transport and come in various sizes to meet almost any need imaginable.

Motorized projection screens are a type of hanging projection screen.  They are a permanent fixture, but unlike mounted or pull down screens they offer more diversity.  They come in a range of styles that make incorporating them into a room simple.

One of the perks of a motorized projection screen is that they are operated by a motor instead of pulled down manually.  This allows them to be discreetly hidden and allows for a larger, heavier screen to be used.  Motorized projection screens can be mounted on a wall, hidden in a ceiling or in the floor.  Since they do not require manually pulling to open them, they can be flush with the ceiling or floor which makes them almost hidden out of sight when not in use.

Motorized projections screens are usually controlled by a remote that opens the screen with a push of a button.  The screen’s motor mechanism then opens the screen, slowly.  The remote can also be used to lower the screen.  They are simple to operate and use, once installed.  Installation will most likely have to be done by a professional who can set up the electrical system and ensure everything is installed properly.

Motorize projection screens are one of the most expensive types of projection screens.  They also require routine maintenance to ensure they open and close smoothly.  Like any projection screen they must also be cleaned and cared for on a regular basis to ensure they are clean.  They make a great addition to a boardroom or home theater and can be quite dramatic when raised to begin a presentation.
