Yard Master 2

I recently purchased the Elite Screens YardMaster 2 for an outdoor Super Bowl viewing party, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The quality of the screen is truly top-notch, providing a crystal-clear image that made every play come to life in stunning detail. Whether it was the vibrant colors or the sharpness of the image, this screen captured it all flawlessly, making us feel like we were right in the middle of the action. Setting up the screen was a breeze, which was a relief given the excitement and chaos of preparing for the big game. The screen's sturdy construction reassured us that it could withstand the outdoor elements, ensuring that our focus remained on the game and not on the durability of the setup. The YardMaster 2 turned our Super Bowl viewing into a unique and immersive experience. The large screen size allowed for a comfortable viewing experience from any spot in our yard, ensuring that no one missed a single moment of the game. The clarity and brightness of the screen made it feel like we had front-row seats to the action, even as the sun set and the game continued into the evening. What truly sets the Elite Screens YardMaster 2 apart is not just its exceptional quality but also the way it enhances social gatherings. It transformed our Super Bowl party into an unforgettable event, bringing friends and family together for an unparalleled viewing experience. The screen's performance in an outdoor setting, coupled with its ease of setup and durability, makes it a must-have for any entertainment enthusiast. In conclusion, the Elite Screens YardMaster 5 is an exceptional product that offers unmatched quality and durability for any outdoor viewing event. Its ability to deliver a high-definition, immersive viewing experience has made it a highlight of our Super Bowl party and a valued addition to our entertainment setup. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor viewing experiences.

I've purchase many cheap screens to stick on walls, but finally settle on this setup. Elite Screens Yard Master 2, is a very nice portable white screen with frame to hold it up. No need to drilling and have it affixed. I use it mosting indoors in my living room and plan to bring it to venues that I need a large screen. Haven't tried outdoors yet, but I know this is great back yard movie parties. I've researched and seen users complained how difficult it was to put together especially snapping in the screen to frame, simply put, I don't find it difficult if done methodical. Some reviews mentioned, but I find there is no need to wait for crease to smooth out, it just doesn’t bother me and is not very noticeable unless you really go up so close you have to stick your nose close to screen and search for the creases, the product folds, and so there are sure to have some. Who watches 120" screen so up close like that anyway, you’ll find seeing individual pixels from 1080 or 4K resolution projector image more disconcerting than the small crease from folding the screen? Really no worries here. Only concern is how well it will handle wind while using in outdoors. Have seen pictures in other reviews of bent legs and do agree the legs may been too weak to withstand some strong enough wind when it's anchored properly to handle such. When it’s too windy outside, I don't think owners should put it out the first place. Excellent for indoors. I've put against a wall, with feet facing the wall folded up while the opposite feet are down to keep it standing up. An idea, we have pile of interlock rubber foam mats to raise up the whole screen so it's higher closer to ceiling as we prefer it so. Comes with a nice carrying bag and another protection case for the screen to store securely.

Easy setup which is most important for these portable screens. Great screen from a name brand. Worth spending a bit more to get this folding setup rather than a PVC frame setup.

If you're in the market for a high quality, affordable, portable projection screen, the Elite Screens Yard Master 2 definitely the cream of the crop. The collapsible aluminum frame is beautifully engineered, quick to set up, and very sturdy. I own the 100" diagonal version but other sizes are available. So, why only 4 stars and not 5? My one disappointment concerns the flatness of the screen once in place. The screen material itself is very robust and, once snapped onto the frame it is well tensioned. However, as can be seen from my attached photo, my screen exhibits some pronounced wrinkling in the corners. These wrinkles are clearly visible when viewing projected movies. I find them quite distracting though others might not be as bothered. Yes, I'm finicky :-) In looking at Youtube reviews of the Yard Master I see that not all screens have the same wrinkling issue. Luck of the draw, I guess. So, despite the wrinkles, my Yard Master 2 outperforms the other large "bargain" portable screens I've tried. For what you're getting, the price is VERY reasonable.

Picked this one because the reviews indicated it was easy to put together and that the screen isn't wrinkled. I'm very impressed with the packaging and the truth in this. The screen comes in a separate sleeve that allows you to gently fold it rather than roll it, so there are no wrinkles or hard creases. Plus it snaps on the frame pretty easily after you've put it on once or twice so it's stretched out nicely to remove any of the folds. The frame is lightweight aluminum, so you do have use the tie downs even in a gentle wind if you're using it outside. We found that adding weights to the base worked well, too. Overall, I'm pleased with the quality for the price. I wish I had gone up one size, because we're using it for movies in the park for our neighborhood, but the larger sizes go bad reviews.

Summary: Lightweight but very sturdy, folds up quickly and compactly, secures safely to the ground. Noticeable creases in the screen but not distracting. I'm in love! I bought a projector to show movies in my backyard and then fretted over what to do about a screen. I just assumed anything worthwhile would be too expensive and seriously considered putting something together with PVC pipe and a white tarp. What a mistake that would have been! The whole unit comes packed nicely in a carrying case for portability (think the size of a Pack n Play baby crib). Both legs unfold and slide into the main frame, which is cleverly folded in 4 places as to fit inside the carrying case. The screen itself snaps all along the frame, about every foot, which keeps the screen tightly stretched and adds to the sturdiness of the frame itself. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes to setup and 10-15 minutes to fold up and put away properly- though I leave the frame/screen intact between viewings and just remove the legs (which takes about 30 seconds and is much easier with two people). Once the frame is put together, it's very lightweight and easy for one adult to move it around in open spaces. Closed-in spaces are a little tricker because the screen is so big. I have an unused space near the door to my backyard where I can keep the screen between viewings (with the legs detached), which is really useful. But if you have to go up/down stairs to store it or around many corners, you'll probably have to have two people just to negotiate the angles. I had thought when I first bought the screen that I would need to set sandbags or something on the legs to keep it in place, but of course there's an out-of-the-box solution for that. Stakes are provided to pound into little holes in the legs and keep the screen secured to the ground. These work great but make sure you have a hammer to do the pounding. There are additional measures involving twine but I never bothered with it and never had a problem. I'm also happy with the quality of the screen itself. Yes the screen arrives folded up and to fit into the carrying case it must be folded, not rolled. Once the screen is stretched across the frame, you'll still see creases. Honestly even after having the screen attached to the frame for a few weeks I still saw the creases. However, they never distracted from whatever movie I was watching so this didn't bother me at all. This screen is built for a very tight niche- backyard movie nights- and it's perfect for that purpose. It wouldn't really be appropriate for an indoor home theater arrangement but it's very mobile and lightweight with great quality, making it just right for your backyard oasis.

While I have a lot of floor space and high ceilings, other factors made setting up a wall mounted or ceiling rigged pull down screen unrealistic or just cost prohibitive in my loft living space. I was also concerned about the negatives included in reviews for tripod or 'pull-up" style screens. After a bit of research I decided the Yard Master 2 might be the perfect solution. Sold and shipped by Amazon I wasn't worried about having to return it if it didn't work out. The screen arrived just a few days later. Handled properly this sets up so easily. The frame just unfolds and clicks into place with a precision that just made me grin with the beautiful simplicity of it. Follow the directions about which snaps to do first and the screen itself goes on without much struggle. The screen material is substantial, seems durable and has a solid feel to it. Once you've got the Yard Master 2 all set up (it takes about 10 minutes) it's abundantly obvious your money was very well spent. I found this fairly easy to move around on my own (I'm 6'2" which helps a lot). It's light weight, and has some flexibility. Once in place it stands solidly upright on the detachable legs, and works out to be the perfect height for the short throw low table set up I'm using with my video projector (BenQ HT2050). The screen arrived folded and is meant to be stored that way. I did observe the some wrinkles in the very center on the first night I had it up (not terribly distracting but evident). I left the screen set up overnight and by the next night it had smoothed out to the point where I was watching the opening of FARGO (the movie not the series) which starts out just stark white slowly fading into a snowy outdoor shot, and there were *no* wrinkles I could see. Properly packing the screen back up to minimize (or properly arrange) creasing is going to be this product's main issue IMO. The frame is very well made, but given the overall size and all the hinges and locking points you want to handle it carefully and make sure you have plenty of floor space for the set up. If I had available wall space I could easily imagine detaching the legs and mounting the frame right on the wall (if that was something you were thinking about).

Specifications: The 100-inch Yard Master, when fully set up is 92" horizontal and 78" vertical. The screen portion begins 24" inches off the ground. I bought this projector screen approximately 1.5-years after my first projector purchase ( ViewSonic PJD5134 SVGA DLP Projector, 3000 Lumens, 3D Blu-Ray w/HDMI, 120Hz ). Until then, I was perfectly content using my apartment's white-wall as the screen background. I credit the eventual buy to the nagging of spectators, who would come over to watch a movie or play games. I wasn't convinced initially, but overtime, they persuaded me. Doing some research, I came to the conclusion that this Yard Master would be my best bet. The maximum screen size I could achieve at home was 85" diagonally, so I went ahead and purchased the 100" Elite Screens from Amazon. When it arrived, I was impressed by the packaging. Elite Screens' company number was available on the box itself - regarding support and possible return. The projector screen was folded inside its own carrying bag, in an Elite Screens box, in another Elite Screens box, and finally the outer Amazon-shipping box. Also to note, it is deceptively heavy - despite it supposedly being around 25-lbs. Setup was manageable, as the block of aluminum frames unfolded with relative ease - no tools were required for assembly. The screen material was stored in a separate bag, and it took me approximately 20-minutes to setup - from start to finish. While I was overall very pleased with my purchase, I found that the screen had creases from where it was folded and stored. To compound my disappointment, it was visible during video playback - particularly if the scene playing was light in color or white. I do plan to wait it out and see if these creases reduce over time - I don't expect them to completely disappear. My screen will pretty much stay assembled, so I'm hoping time will resolve all. I am content with my purchase, but the creases are a notable negative. On a more positive note, the projector screen does provide improved visual details, when compared to my white wall - this clarity is particularly noticeable during darker scenes. My wife compliments the upgrade by saying: "It playbacks like a real TV now". In conclusion, I cannot heartily recommend this projector screen if creases bother you in the least - it is noticeable. Otherwise, I do feel it is well-designed and very portable. Please purchase at your own discretion. I rate this product with 3.5 stars - rounded to 4-stars. If the creases reduce over time to be barely noticeable, I will increase my score and update my review. ***Updated, January 10, 2015*** Wide/sporadic creases seemed to have stretched out and smoothed, leaving only the fine lines that are harder to discern from a distance. I can honestly say my concern over the creases have mellowed, and my initial buyer's remorse have all but disappeared. It takes mental energy better used elsewhere, to concentrate on the creases instead of enjoying whatever is playing. I conclude this review with a final grade of the Elite Screens Yard Master at 4-stars. The creases are its only outstanding flaw - but even that resides enough to be negligible over time.

Its a very good Screen can be placed any where easy to fix.,very strong aluminum chassis,and the quality of the screen is really good ...Nice product and good quality.....

Bonjour, Propriétaire de cet écran extérieur transportable depuis le début de l'année, et après m'être fait des projections dehors tout l'été et à l'intérieur tout l'automne, je vous donne ici mon avis. Les points positifs: -Entièrement transportable. Le produit est livré dans une sacoche permettant de ranger à la fois l'écran, les pieds et le cadre métallique, le tout une fois plié prenant peu de place, on peut l'emmener partout. - Facilité de montage et démontage. Je le fais seul, et ça me prends à peine 5 minutes montre en main. - Ecran de bonne qualité: en PVC, son dos noir est réellement opaque, ne laissant pas la lumière passer que ce soit de l'intérieur ou de l'extérieur. De plus, son gain de 1,1 et son grand angle de vision assure une qualité et un confort de vision optimale. Enfin, sa surface est traitée contre la pluie, pour une utilisation extérieure - Très adaptée pour des séances cinéma/sport les soirs d'été. En effet, l'écran est très stable: pieds de bonnes factures, emplacements dans les pieds pour y insérer des sardines (fournies dans le sac) et oeillets sur la partie supérieur pour y passer des cordes à tendre (fournies également), l'écran ne bouge pas. Adapté également pour des visions en intérieurs, je l'ai rentrée au début de l'automne, une fois les pieds replié il prend très peu de volume adossé contre un mur, et je déplie les pieds dès que l'envie de me faire une petite séance se fait ressentir ). Evidemment, il y a quelques bémols: - la toile arrive pliée, et on la replie pour la ranger. Cela laisse des marques de pliures, même bien tendues. Petite astuce: ces marques disparaissent complètement en passant un sèche-cheveu dessus, mais c'est à utiliser avec parcimonie et minutie, il ne faut pas faire chauffer trop fort, au risque de faire fondre le traitement anti-pluie de l'écran. - les pieds ne montent pas assez haut en hauteur à mon goût. Il existe bien des extensions pour monter la hauteur de cet écran, mais ces extensions coûtent 85€, ce qui est bien trop cher en regard du bénéfice tiré. En résumé, je ne regrette absolument pas mon achat, la taille de l'écran de 100 pouces et à la fois suffisante pour se faire plaisir, et idéale pour en avoir une utilisation nomade. Voilà, j'espère que mon commentaire pourra vous être utile dans votre décision.

la estructura es muy recia, está bien para exteriores, pero si lo montas en el salón para ver una peli de buen viernes noche (doy fé) no la desmontas y dejas el armatoste en medio, lo más probable es que "la jefa" te corte los huevecillos antes de que te laves los dientes en cuanto la vea. Renta comprar también una de techo (a mí no me quedó otra) y dejar esta para lo que explico ahora. Pesa un poco la bolsa (pero nada para el armatoste que te preparas en 5 minutitos si es que llega), es MUY útil para salir a la piscina a verte un algo mientras te "echas un Kas" y, si te vas a algún sitio, pues te la llevas y no tienes que proyectar sobre una pared, que si es de la casa de tu abuela, pues va con gotelé y te quieres pegar un tiro cuando Scarlett Johansson parece un personaje del Minecraft. Cuándo nuestras mujeres nos firman el permiso de excursión a todos los amigos, se juntan los astros y quedamos exentos de ellas y de niños, se coloca en cualquier sitio (grande claro, mirad medidas) y se puede hacer cosas muy viriles, como ver fútbol o jugar a la play. Una pantalla así mejora ese fin de semana al año, te sientes rico y poderoso. El Domingo cuando la desmontas y vuelves a tu vida sientes esa depresión de los quince, cuando al llegar a casa pensabas "joder, tengo que ir al instituto mañana", luego llega el Lunes y se te pasan las ínfulas de rico y poderoso cuando suena el despertador, porque deseas con toda tu alma recibir una herencia que te permita hacer lo del finde todos los días, pero sin la resaca que tienes, que es más jodida que lo de Polonia en el 39. Sé que todo esto parece una mofa y, sí. Pero de verdad que todo lo que he dicho es verdad, con humor, pero cierto, también. Anexo: Si pones a un niñ@ a Josefa la Cerda (Pepa Pig) en 100'', se queda como un yonki después de un chute, puedes aprovechar para echarte una siesta o ver fotos de cuando tenías pelo y te veías el pito de pie.

Debo decir que tenía mis dudas, pero estaba de oferta y me arriesgue. No me arrepiento, la calidad es muy buena. El armado de la base es muy rápido y sencillo, el marco es muy ligero (lo pesado es la pantalla), lo más complicado ha sido ajustar todos los broches de la pantalla al marco, realmente están muy justos. Pero no hubo pliegues en la pantalla, es completamente lisa, lo cual se agradece. Muy contento con mi compra.

Quick and easy to setup. Very sturdy, just make sure you tie down the ropes in windy conditions. The screen material is heavy and good. For what it is its perfect for outdoor use in events, of course it wont compete with something like an indoor ALR screen
