If you need a projector screen while you’re on the go, you will probably find the portable or mobile projector screens to be right up your alley. Portable or mobile projector screens are designed with the travelling guru in mind, for quick and easy setup and take-down.  If you’re instead looking for something more permanent, fixed wall projector screens are meant for permanent installation, whether in your home (such as living room, basement, or den) or in your office (board room).

Another type of projector screen is the electric screen, which conveniently retracts out of sight when you don’t need it simply with the press of a button. It comes back into view just as easily.  Meanwhile, manual screens are probably the type of projector screens with which you are most familiar. They offer some flexibility and portability, and are generally cheaper than other types of projector screens.

You can also find rear-projection projector screens as a convenient alternative to the traditional front screens. Rear-projection units can be permanently installed, self-contained, and even applied to glass windows for digital signals.

Besides specific type, you may also want to consider other factors when choosing among the many options for projector screens, such as the size of the screen, whether you need something more permanent or a type of portable projector screen, and your price range.
