I got a lot of great prints last week from Cinevent and Steve at The Reel Image, and my wife and kids just gave me my Father's Day present early-an inflatable outdoor screen! I'm breaking it in tomorrow night. Can't wait!

Scott.... let us know how you like your screen. I'm combining two screens in two weeks to make a 14' scope screen, and had thought about one of the inflatable ones instead of attaching masking, etc. I'll be interested in hearing how you like yours.

Hi Greg, This was my first time using it, so I need to reset where I put my projector. But it only took me five minutes to setup. I had something to prop it up against though. There were wrinkles in the screen but I thought the night of films was great.
Thanks

Thanks, Scott... looks great. What's the dimensions of the area and where did your wife get it?

Thanks guys. Greg, the dimensions for the structure are 12'7" wide and 8'11" tall and the screen is 149". The fans that keep it blown up are incredibly quiet. It comes with the structure, screen, rope and stakes, and a bag to keep everything in. My wife read reviews of it where some owners complained that it was all hard to fit back in the bag. I chose not to put the screen back in, and everything else plus my extension cord fit easily in it. She bought it on target.com for $195.49 and it was free shipping since it was over $50. Hopes that helps and I can't wait to break it out again next weekend.
