This screen arrived quickly, and set-up was a dream... a dream that took 1 person and all of 30 seconds. I especially like the option of hanging it on the wall as I may use it for a second home theatre when not using it for presentations. The widescreen option is fantastic and really makes for an impressive presentation. The fact that the whole thing is self-contained (no need for a bag or case) and that is is quite light and easy to stash in trunk or store in the corner of my office when not in use is also a bonus. There is a bit of keystoning in the very center top, but in my experience it is not noticeable when you are actually projecting an image onto the screen. I am very happy with this screen and glad I opted for this over a traditional screen.

I only paid $119 for this screen! This screen is light, compact and portable. The tripod can be removed, folded and then can be placed behind the screen when it is compacted back in. There is a handy dandy nylon carrying handle that makes it very easy to carry by your side.
It is the only one that I found that has a duel screen format, 16:9 (widescreen) and 4:3 (full size). You just pull it out sideways until the first click for the full size and if you want widescreen, you keep extending it until it clicks a second time.
I do agree with most reviews about there being a slight crease in the very top middle area. This is due to the screen not being locked in tightly BUT honestly you will never notice it when there is a movie playing because it is so slight.
One more negative is the fact that the middle tripod leg is facing to the rear. In other words you cannot plae this up directly against a wall because the third leg pushes it out about 2 feet.
Overall I rated this 5 stars because

Would give 4.5 stars if this was Star Search ;)
Pros:
1) Great for portability @ ~27 lbs. When compact its 42" high and ~a foot wide. Fantastic design!
2) Clicks when you have expanded it to 4:3 dimensions, and clicks again when further expanded to 16:9 dimensions. Brilliant!
3) Picture shows very bright/dark colors well on the screen.
4) Watching a wide-screen movie without the black bars on top is a dream come true.
Neutral:
1) The stand itself is not adjustable beyond ~3 feet. So when on the stand, the screen is maxed at ~6' 4" high :( But I hear the Duet is actually taller than other portable projectors with similar screen specs so I couldn't call it a "CON."
Final Judgment:
"Saved" a lot space in the office by not having it in a fixed position. In addition, the Duet is great if you need a portable wide-screen projector screen. When folks see you expand it horizontally you'll get all the ooh's n' ahh's and words like "This is so high tech" fill the room. :)
But, if you don't

The quality of the product's construction was unexpected. It is sturdy and has an attractive design.
Quick to set up and take down. Stored it stands discreetly in the corner of my apartment. The two large black borders that double as the case of the screen were well designed.
I paired this screen with the Optoma DV11 and found it really did bring out the colours and brightness of the projected image.
A significant complaint that I have is that the top inch and a half of the screen sags. I'm still trying to find a solution to this, however overall I do not find that it affects the projected image significantly.

I now have had the Duet Projector Screen for about a month. The unit is just great. It takes up little space folded which comes in very handy in a motorhome. I also comes with a wall mountable bracket to do away with the stand which folds and attaches neatly to the unit. All you do is slide it on the stand and pull it to one of two detents. One is for 4X3 aspect ratio or 16X9. Very easy to work with and the gain of the picture is very good.

As a professsional speaker I've seen hundreds of screens over the past 25 years and this one really stands out. It is everything you could hope for and more. I love the design. It sets up fast, is easy to open and is just the right size for a living room or a medium size (up to 35 people) business meeting. I can't believe the price! I thought it was a good value at the original $250 price and now Amazon has it for under $85. If you need a protable screen, this is a great choice. Since it opens horizontally it is much shorter than other screens of this size. I am considering upgrading my projector now to show movies on tis screen instead of my old 27" TV.
