Hi All,
I recently started a thread requesting help purchasing a screen in the UK. After the help of some of the esteemed regulars on this forum they all recommended I do NOT purchase this cheap tab-tensioned screen as my first screen, but at the same time they were interested in me wasting my money on it and learning a lesson. Therefore I did indeed go ahead and spend £270 for the good of the people! Before I came to the forum I had searched high and low for a retractable screen with a low gain in the UK and was struggling to find any, or even any with any reviews to back them up. Enter the Luxberg. I searched the forum for luxberg and a few had asked about them and even purchased them but nobody had answered about them or given feedback. so I decided to send it.
Disclaimer: I am a home cinema noob. I'm techy but this is my first projector (Epson TW9400) and screen. Therefore I cannot compare this product to others as I don't have that experience, please take my review with a pinch of salt. I will post images and videos for you to make your own note.
For any future readers wondering about the Luxberg screen, I bought the 92" grey for £270 because I'm cheap and I thought I might as well try it out. Long story short it does the job and for my need, I am glad I spent £270 on this temporary screen instead of £1000+. it is cheap and made in china. I will be replacing it in the future with a larger fixed premium screen but this was always the plan and nothing to do with my impression of the screen now I have received it.
I am only a few days in so this review may change.. BUT it comes assembled, well packaged and was undamaged (the amazon reviews have been mixed on the damage however have been able to get refunds/replacements.) the screen looks flat and smooth to me however it does have 2 small wavy sections at the bottom left and right corners where the tab tension is not quite strong enough in this area (see images). If I look really closely you can see lines going left to right on the screen, The motor works, it is loud and not the smoothest, I am not confident it will last very long but time will tell, the housing for the control is ugly. The luxberg label peeled off when I unpackaged lol. It smells like a new inflatable swimming pool (I read this in the amazon reviews and it goes away after a week apparently, I actually quite like the smell weirdly) the weighted bar at the bottom of the screen does hang out the bottom of the housing a bit when it's rolled up. I did disassemble it just to have a look at the housing, It's not a complicated machine, If things do go wrong then I can't see it being very hard to fix yourself if you have basic tools and a bit of DIY Nouse.
In conclusion, if you are looking for perfection this is not the screen for you, however, you will need a bigger budget too. If you are looking for a decent cheap starter screen then this may be it. It's a tab-tensioned grey or white screen supposedly with a gain of 0.9 or 1.0 delivered next day in the UK for £270. I am more than happy with my purchase. The picture looks great from my projector, I put a bright light behind it in the pictures to show the light it lets through. If we have a light on we can't see the reflection on the screen and the image is still viewable, it goes up and down and you can decide when it stops, it's 99% tensioned I am planning on fixing this, the housing unit is neat enough and it does the purpose. Be warned from the amazon reviews it is still a gamble whether it comes damaged and I have heard that the tension string breaks. Worked out well for me though. I bought directly from Luxberg visual's website and saved £30 than amazon, they also do a white 92" tab-tensioned screen gain 1.0 for £220.
Hope this is useful for anybody looking, as I would have liked to have found this review.
