Silver Ticket Products STR Series 6 Piece Home Theater Fixed Frame 4K / 8K Ultra HD, HDTV, HDR & Active 3D Movie Projection Screen, 16:9 Format, 120" Diagonal, Woven Acoustic Material STR-169120-WAB

I purchased the 120" Acoustically Transparent Woven screen. I have only had it up for about 2 days now so I wanted to leave a review while everything is fresh on my mind. First off, for the money, it is an absolutely incredible value, especially if you go shop around for other screens. The assembly is not hard AT ALL, though it does take a little bit of patience. When I first unboxed all of the parts my initial reaction was I was super impressed with the quality of it all considering It cost me $400. The metal frame is super hard and sturdy. The black velvet wrapping around it is super nice and clean, and the screen material is not some super thin, easy to rip material. For anyone looking at the Acoustic Woven screen, let me address the most common concern, loss of sound. To the human ear, there is Zero. I was actually more concerned when I opened it to discover that there is actually a secondary black fabric that goes behind the white woven material. It is just like the material most Floor speaker's fronts are covered in, but two layers?...I was worried. The truth is I actually watched movies for few weeks in the room on a TV, on a stand until I got the screen and projector up. So I know what it sounded like before and now, and there is zero difference. Okay so I guess with an sound measuring device, there may be a small decimal of loss, but your ears can not hear it and there is no muffling. The picture that shows up on the acoustic fabric is second to none. You dont even know it's perforated unless you are 1 ft from it. I would guess it will take most people 1 hr to assemble the frame and 25 minutes to mount the brackets and hang it. Now that I have done it once, I could do it all in 35 minutes or so. Note: I am using an Optoma HD142x as the projector and the in wall speakers are all the Polk RC line. I bought the entire set up on Amazon and the screen, projector, 3 speakers and the PW 505 sub, I have a home theater that is awesome to someone on a Budget yet still appreciates good sound and image. I was in film school for 2 years so I have set in a lot of 20-30K dollar screening rooms, this is not that, but for 10% of the price, the difference is so minimal. It wows my kids, it wows my friends. When a decent 75 inch TV from Sam's Club cost $2,000, I will take a true home theater over that any day.

BACKGROUND: I ordered this screen to replace a borderless model from another manufacturer. Since I have very large speakers and limited room size, this time around I wanted an acoustically transparent screen. I did not want to build a complete false wall in my small room either, so I decided to ceiling mount the new screen. SCREEN IMPRESSIONS: The overall quality of this screen was a very pleasant surprise. It arrived well-packed and everything was labeled and logically arranged. It cost a little less than the one it replaced (which wasn't even an AT model) but boasts features I would have expected only with much more expensive screens. An example of this are the excellent tensioning system that virtually guarantees a wrinkle-free result and the dual vertical support brackets. ASSEMBLY: Assembling the screen did take a lot longer than the companion video suggests. Most of the additional time was due to the painstaking process of inserting the tensioning rods, however a helper would have greatly reduced the required time and effort so this is not a negative. MOUNTING: I searched the Q&A here and found little helpful information so I wanted to detail what I did in hopes it may be of use to others. Ceiling mounting this screen would not be as easy as I anticipated because the included mounting hardware just wasn't designed with that in mind. This is something I wish Silver Ticket would consider addressing as it would likely be a simple matter for them. It took some experimenting [as my ceiling now attests] on my part to find a solution that provided absolute stability and proper hang angle. Hinged solutions did not work. I ended up going with simple "eye" hooks screwed deep into ceiling joists and then attaching Velcro brand "Easy Hangs." The parts cost me a total of about $20.00 and can be found at any hardware store. SUMMARY: This is a beautiful screen, especially for the price. The AT material does it's job and my speakers sound awesome behind it. Assembly will take some time and a helper is recommended. Other than the desire to see more thought put into mounting options, I believe Silver Ticket hit a home run with this one. Highly recommended.

Wish I hadn't waited as long to go from a painted wall to this very nice quality screen. Has turned out home theater into a very finished gathering space. Assembly video helped and went together without issues. All hardware for mounting included and very solid. Really pleased with this screen.

This review is for the STR-169120-WAB Silver Ticket 4K Ultra HD Ready Cinema Format screen. I received the package and it was well boxed. The instructions were a bit sparse but it is easy to figure your way thru. Assembly of the frame was easy enough. I had a little challenge with layout of the blackout cloth. This stretchy material is acoustically transparent and goes back of the screen. As it turned out it was the very same material I used in my wall mounted acoustic sound panels. This back cloth I think is intended to stop reflection of light off anything behind the screen and probably provide consistent viewing across the screen. The material was really stretchy so take so time to lay it out equally across back before springs. The product came with 2 wire tools that hook one spring end and used to pull into place hooking on frame. Those were very useful and much easier than long nose pliers. Two different lengths of tension springs were provided. It was unclear which to use initially. On first pass I used the long springs around the whole parameter. When you attach the tension springs hook the material as well as the screen. Once springs done its time for the challenging support bars. To get those in place it took two people. One pushing the top and bottom outward while the other moved the bars into position. Afterwards I wondered if doing perhaps 2 or 3 springs per side to hold screen in place then putting bars in place would have been easier. One could then put rest of springs in place. After I was done I found 2 wrinkles in lower left corner. I changed the springs out to smaller on the left side and 3 or 4 along left bottom. This did the trick. I have 3 full range speakers behind the screen in false wall. Overall I am running a 7.1.4 setup. I wanted to see if I had any loss of sound before hanging screen and after screen install. I used a sound meter on tripod at 3ft. With one speaker active and using a frequency test CD I tested the following frequencies: 251,499,997,1999,4001,7993, and 12503 hz. I first recorded readings with no screen and then with screen in place. The before and after readings indicated very little loss if any. This exercise was really more out of curiosity than anything. Of course any small loss could have been negated with the ole "turn the volume up". Overall very satisfied. The price point and quality met the needs of my dedicated home theater room.

After fifteen years of good service from our old 110" screen and 720p projector, when the bulb went on the projector ($300) I decided it made more sense to buy a close-out Benq 4k projector ($500 on Amazon), which was a massive upgrade. But then the new projector image was much bigger, even when fully adjusted in, than the old screen. Rather than move the projector closer (leaving a hole in the ceiling that would need to be fixed/repainted, it actually was more economical to switch to a larger screen, which had to be accoustically transparent. (You can see the old screen and speakers in the first picture.) While I had some concerns that the sound might be muddled, after the screen was up there was no change in the sound (I left the speakers where they were.) As you can see from the second picture, the screen looks as good as the old one (which was quite expensive fifteen years ago). The picture was a bit darker than from the highly reflective old screen, which was taken care of by switching from ECO mode to Normal mode. So the sound is just as good, and the picture still shows great 4k quality. Couldn't be happier about the end product. So why four stars? First, the instructions are HORRIBLE. Among other problems, steps 5 and 6 shouldn't be performed until close to the end; there are no instructions regarding whether you should use the short or the long springs (I ended up using the short ones top and bottom and the long ones on the sides, which seemed to fit); pictures 12 and 13 are identical and I have no idea what 13 is attempting to signify; and the eight screws that come with the two top brackets seem to line up with the four holes, but in fact you need to use four for the top and four for the bottom two brackets (which have no screws). I have no idea why the instructions are so bad -- if you look at the online instructions, they are MUCH better, but since there was no mention of this on the written instructions I had a frustrating time until I finally went online to find these instructions (as well as helpful Amazon reviewer comments). So that is a half star off. The second half star is because the felt (intended to prevent bounceback of projected light) is just checked in the box, with no way to install it. The written instructions explicitly say they are not covering how to put it on, and suggest that you use tape, like an elementary school arts and crafts project. Seriously? On a $500 screen? Why not add a loop and rods like for the screen itself, or some other method? Looking at old videos, this appeared to be how it was done, so I assume that this idea of telling people to just tape it to the back is a cost-saving measure. Wholly ridiculous and not matching up with the otherwise premium look and feel of the product. So that's another half star off. But the end result is great, in terms of picture and sound, at a reasonable price. You can't ask for a better end result than that,.

We bought the acoustically transparent screen so we could place all of our front speakers behind it. I did a lot of research before deciding to buy the Silver Ticket screen. This screen is fantastic! The sound comes right through without any problems! And the picture quality is fantastic as well. For the most part, I have not experienced the moire effect, except during one scene of a video game. It seems like it's related to the graphics of the game since nothing else has the same problem. Pros: Cheap Beautiful pictures Clear sound through transparent screen Sturdy Screen and border look fantastic Cons: Instructions are pretty useless. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase. We knew going in the instructions would be worthless, so we watched videos of how to put it together.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this screen because the price was significantly better than the next brand name screen I could find. However, while putting it together it became clear that the components and design were high quality. Everything fit together well and was structurally sound. I place all three of my front speakers (LCR) behind it and the effect is phenomenal. Sound originating from the right place makes a difference! I hated when I noticed the voice was coming from below the screen before. The projected image looks great - much better than our original plan of projecting it on the wall (granted it was a textured wall). I'm happy to recommend the product!

Update after three years of use: I uninstalled my screen a few days ago to access some equipment behind the screen and found that the fabric bonding for one of the rod pockets had come "unstuck" over several inches. A photo is included to illustrate. Because this is the first time I could see behind the screen since installation, I can't be sure when this happened. This has not yet come loose far enough to be visible on the exposed projection image side. However, as you can see from the photo, only another inch or so needs to let loose before it can be seen. While it's been a while, I think its fair to expect that was not supposed to happen and was a manufacturing defect. I have reached out to Silver Ticket to see if they can help. I'll update this review when they respond. Here's the original review from 2015: This is my third acoustically transparent screen...the last was a Draper AT1200 106" screen. I wanted to go bigger because my new JVC RS46u can throw a bright enough picture in 3D to make this possible. I've been a home theater fan for many years, and have owned a dedicated theater for well over a decade. Since the days of Laserdiscs, CRT projectors, and Dolby Surround. (You might find me on AVSForum, Emotiva Lounge, or the Polk Audio Forum as "rtart.") As part of my constant upgrade path, I did a lot of reading online before pulling the trigger on the ST screen reviewed here so had no surprises about the assembly instructions (or lack thereof). Watching the YouTube video makes it all clear, and a little mechanical inclination makes it fairly easy to put together and mount. The biggest issue with screens is their shipping size and cost...a ten foot long box is going to cost to ship. ST makes this screen frame in sections, so the longer (top and bottom) frame sections have to be connected somehow. ST manages this issue well, with a very sturdy connector between the two sections. The frame side sections are one piece, so no middle connection is necessary. Corners go together with reinforcing brackets and screws, and are very sturdy. After joining the top and bottom halves, put the corner brackets on the top and bottom first, then connect the frame sides. I recommend adding the hanging brackets at this point, and figure out how you are going to mount the screen to the wall. Trust me, it's easier to do if you can reach through before the fabric is installed. Once you mount the wall bracket halves onto the wall, its time to install the fabric. Pull down the frame and lay it "ugly" side up. Roll out the fabric and thread in the rods in the pockets. The shorter ones go on the top and bottom and meet in the middle. Start in with every third spring to get started, then fill in the ones that are missing. (The diagram does help a little here....the springs should clip down over the rods, and then the other end into the channel on the frame) Fabric is pulled snugly by the springs, but inserting the middle supports (there are 2 here) was easy. I installed the hanging brackets onto the frame first, and set one end against the bracket while "encouraging" the other end to the other bracket with a mallet. If you orient them correctly (see the diagram) they will go in pretty easily...but you WILL need a mallet to get it done. Don't be shy, but you might want to wrap the mallet in a clean cloth to protect the screen surface. A few small wrinkles in the screen, but I expect them to come out in a day or two. If this is an issue, I will revisit this review. Fabric appears to indeed be 1.1 gain, as compared to my other screens and a couple of samples from other manufacturers. Acoustic performance also appears to be as good as past screens I have owned. The weave of the fabric is invisible from my viewing distance, which is around 11 feet. All things considered, this is a substantial screen that appears to have cost a LOT more than I paid. I would recommend it to anyone considering it. Took me about an hour, by myself, from opening the box to watching a movie.

I'm very happy with my new screen, I bought the 120" acoustic transparent screen. The picture and sound quality is great. I was able to set it up myself pretty easy, just needed help when it came to actually setting the screen on the mounts. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Good quality and great picture

looks very nice, easy to be assembled, but you can find moire patterns(not strong) in some areas when bright white is projected.
