For the price, you won't find a larger more well made projection screen. It has the standard bright white surface with a border of light absorbing black. The 'keystone' arm pulls up out of the upper post and locks out horizontal to account for the projection angle being low.
The screen is huge, well made, very adjustable and can be 'shrunk' down to 16:9 (96w x 56t), and an 8' wide screen is awesome. You can set it up in an 8' tall room but barely, by lowereing the scroll to accomodate the upper post. I have used mine in the back yard with lawn chairs, a projector hooked to a DVD and a Bose Cinemate next to the campfire :-) for a really cool outdoor theater under the stars.
The projector folds into a 3" x 96" form factor, so you probably won't be putting it in your car trunk or coat closet.
But for its purpose and price, I cannot recommend it highly enough. :-)
