Know before you buy
The Matte White surface is designed to provide excellent color accuracy and sharp contrast for both color and black-and-white projections. The fiberglass backing also adds durability and helps the screen remain flat over time.
The tripod is designed for quick deployment using a convenient toe release mechanism. This allows you to unlock and extend the legs without needing to bend down, providing a stable base in seconds.
This screen features a 1:1 aspect ratio, meaning it is a perfect square. While it works well for general presentations, widescreen content will leave empty space at the top and bottom of the 70-inch by 70-inch viewing area.
Yes, the Picture King includes a built-in fabric lock. This feature keeps the screen material tightly secured to the roller during transport, preventing it from unrolling or getting damaged while you move between locations.
While the product specifications mention ceiling mounting, this model is primarily engineered as a portable tripod screen. If you intend to use it as a permanent ceiling-mounted fixture, ensure you have the appropriate hardware, though it is best utilized as a mobile solution.
