I found out that there are indeed two adjustment knobs on the screen that will change the travel distance of the screen both in the up and down direction. Lower the screen a bit using the control box button, press the stop button and then raise it back up. When it stop turn the control, and as you do the screen will either raise or lower (depending on which way you turn the wrench) a small amount. To adjust the down direction you do the same procedure using the other control adjustment...you simple lower the screen all the way using the control box and then make the fine adjustment by turning the control knob using the wrench. UPDATE: 4/22/15. As I posted in my original review I was a little disapointed when I discovered that the projector remote was RF (radio frequency) controlled and not IR (infrared) controlled as stated in the ad. This is only because I use a Harmony remote to easily control all my AV gear with a simple click of the remote, and it only works with IR controlled device. Having an extra remote to simply raise and lower the screen really bugged me, since most all my home is automated to some degree and I also wanted the projector screen to be included in that category. Since the Homegear screen also has a manual control box that can be used to raise and lower the screen it seemed possible to wire in the MK-161 to the Homegear control box to simulate actually pressing the keys when the relay closed to raise and lower the screen. The next perfect thing was that the Harmony already knew about the MK-161in it's database, so it was easy to add the codes to my remote and then add the device into my Harmony activities so that everytime I selected "watch a movie" on the remote it would send the IR codes to the MK-161, which in turn would pulse the appropriate relay and manually make the switch in the Homegear control box temporarily close-- the same was if I had pressed the actual button on the control box. I ended up putting the MK-161 in a project and mounting next to the Homegear control box and you'd think it actually came with the screen. UPDATE: 5/3/16. It's been over a year now and I just wanted to follow-up and let everyone know that the screen, projector and MK-161 control box is still working flawlessly."
"From what I can tell, this screen is nearly identical (or perhaps entirely identical) in terms of the quality of image you'd get compared to the brand names that are offered at two or three times the price."
"The screen arrived in a timely manner, opened the package immediately and discovered 3 different bents and dents as it was mentioned by other buyers as well ( I was feeling lucky when ordering) - So, i am installing it and will be covering it in a box to make if a hidden screen so I did not make a big deal out of it - the outter part is thin metal and you will mostly like have them too, but the bend and dents do not affect the operation."
"Pretty nice projection screen."
"I have no other experiences with projector screens at all."

"Assembly was very easy and I was a little surprised at why some of the reviews I read were as bad. We used it for a presentation for mom's 70th bday, and we had to put the whole screen up on a table so that the entire crowd of 150 people could see it appropriately. I made sure 2 people were carrying it at any given time to make sure it didn't accidently get dropped or banged against something."
"Should come with a case/straps to hold everything in place."
"very heavy, works just like you would expect it to."
"Well made, great surface, light weight considering the size."
"easy to use easy to store works goid with projector picture is nice feel like im in a movie theater."

"the one thing I noticed was there is some creases remain in screen after setup, but are not noticeable when the projector is on, good quality screen, easy setup in 5-10 mins with one person, light weight with convenient carrying case, comes with stakes to keep it upright in the wind."
"This product is great!"
"We love the Elite Screen Yard Master and have used it many times to show outdoor movies and sporting events."
"I paired this with my LG-PG1000U (Eu Version). This stands up to every review I have read of it, set up and wrap up times are minimal, cloth is smooth (after a couple of stretches). be careful to follow instructions when setting up the fabric, do the diagonal corners before moving to the rest of them."
"The quality of the screen is excellent, however snapping the screen to the frame is a hassle, and one of the corner snaps is so hard to line up, we just don’t."
"Screen is made of high quality material that works great with my projector."
"It works good after many treaths to assy."

"Fans are working fine so I attribute the lifespan to manufacturing variation. The point of all this is while a bulb from a major manufacturer is likely to last longer than the cheap clones, there is no guaranty. If you don't mind changing bulbs you can buy 3 of the "cheapos" for the same price and probably make out the same or better in terms of total lifetime."
"This bulb, though brighter than the old bulb, did not fix my problem of the set turning off by itself."
"It is cheaper to change the bulb out than purchase a new TV."
"i decided to removing the plastic housing from my old bulb and install it on the new bulb."
"I purchased this bulb and not only did it arrive very quickly, the tv is much brighter (I guess the bulb was slowly dying causing the tv to slowly darken)."
"I ordered the $23 bulb and housing, it came packed just fine, but I looked at the bulb in the housing before taking off the shrink wrap. No ceramic insulator, no heavy gauge wiring or harness, just a "thin as a thread" naked wire barely soldered to the exposed back of the bulb, and the other wire broken and not connected."
"The true Philips Lamp with the housing lasts for years and is well worth the money."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I needed to install a projector onto a drop ceiling in my basement. • The mounting unit is made of steel and it is ruggedly designed. • It comes in white so it matched my ceiling and it matched my projector. • It has four ways to adjust the mounting angles for the projector to make sure that it is aligned the way you need it to be. • I loved that it had a drilling templet in the box and I used it to design and build a mounting system that extended down from the basement ceiling joists to the level of the drop ceiling. This unit is well designed and flexible enough to fit multiple projectors."
"My only complaint is that some of the bolts were to long for my particular projector and I had to go to the hardware store to get shorter ones 9not very exspensive. but honestly my ceiling mount withe the projector was so light that most fasteners would have no problem supporting the weight."
"Was a bit concerned about the bracket pieces that attach to the projector, but when all bolted together it is very solid."
"This mount was easy enough to set up, they provide all of the necessary pieces required for install other than a Phillips head screwdriver, a drill bit, it is made a little easier with a socket set, but could be done without."
"4 starts because the manual is not 100% clear and it seems this needs to be really clear as it could damage the unit which in my case it could of."
"First of all, I don't understand why some reviewers say it does not fit their projector. Even when fully tightened, the shift adjustment can move if you try just a little."
"Finally, as an "amateur" I sure found it easy to navigate and install this product."

I bought it because I want to be able to quickly move between a bedroom, garage, deck, or living room and if you remove the feet the 120" easily fits under a doorway and you don't have to undo/redo the snaps."
"Since I will have to assemble it by myself, the size is perfect, but a little larger screen for outdoor viewing would of been even better."
"We are using this fantastic screen for our non-profits powerful messages & stories about the dangers of substance abuse, and to have the audio/visual flow seamlessly is crucial to our success of having the students listen intently."
"The stand for the screen is amazing."
"the screen material does get folded up and placed in its own bag to protect it from and dirt that may be on the lags when stowed in its bag."
"I set mine up a few hours before use and let the warmth of the day help smooth out some of the folds in the material."
"We were not able to see anything from our Epson 535w on the screen."
"If you like a screen with a lot of fold lines through it that are clearly visible when watching as screen comes folded then it's OK, I went from a pulldown screen with no lines to this, not happy."

"A decent little remote, I am only giving it 3 stars due to the software issues it has with Windows/Linux and the root cause of so many things crashing due to it not having a real driver."
"Although this is a negative, I haven't found any other air mouse/keyboard/remote on the market with a backlight feature."
"This remote has most of what I wanted - an air mouse, a few programmable IR buttons, and a 2.4Ghz USB connection. However, it's kind of a tedious task, and at least I found that when trying to map the keys on the remote side of this device, I often ran into conflict issues that weren't easy to resolve. This remote does have all the features I would want, but as I found out, there may be some reliability issues with the USB drivers."
"The functionality on the android box is almost perfect out of the gate and with the Bluetooth dongle, which stops us from needing line of sight, we couldn't be happier!"
