Akia Screens 110 in Motorized Projector Screen - Remote Drop Down

In this review the Akia Screens 110 in Motorized Projector Screen is assessed for home theater and office use; its biggest selling point is the large 110 in diagonal viewing area combined with a plug-and-play motorized drop that arrives fully assembled. Installers will appreciate the included wall and ceiling mounting kit and the detachable wall box controller with IR sensor and optional 12V trigger for synchronized operation. The review focuses on picture quality, build and usability rather than promotional claims to help buyers decide if this electric drop down screen suits their space.

Key Features

• 110 in viewing area: A 54 in H x 96 in W 16:9 surface delivers a true HDTV aspect ratio suitable for widescreen movies and presentations.
• MaxWhite 2 material: The 1.1 gain, multi-layer weave with full black backing provides wide 180 degree viewing and improved contrast for 4K and Active 3D sources.
• Motorized convenience: The electric retractable design includes an IR remote and detachable wall box controller for timed and triggered up/down operation.
• Plug-and-play installation: Ships fully assembled with a durable black metal housing and mounting kit for wall or ceiling attachment to simplify setup.
• Maintenance friendly: The projection surface cleans with mild soap and water and the housing helps protect the screen when retracted.
• Certifications and support: GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD GOLD certified material plus a 2 year manufacturer warranty and lifetime tech support.

Who It's For

This projector screen is aimed at homeowners building a dedicated media wall or small offices that need a large motorized projection surface with a standard throw projector. Anyone wanting a 16:9, 110 in viewing surface for 4K or Active 3D content will find the wide viewing angle and textured MaxWhite 2 fabric advantageous.

It is not for users of ultra short throw (UST) projectors, as the screen is explicitly not compatible with UST models. Buyers who need a budget manual pull screen or who cannot provide a reliable ceiling or wall mount should look elsewhere.

Cons
