Many people hesitate when buying a projection screen: electric or fixed? Actually, if you have a dedicated viewing area at home or a fixed presentation wall in the office, a Fixed Frame Projection Screen is the “cost-effective king” for long-term use! It stretches the screen flat and wrinkle-free with a frame, offering much clearer images than loose electric screens. In 2025, it even comes with ultra-thin borders and new light-resistant materials. Today, we’ll use plain language to teach you how to choose the right one—beginners can easily follow along!
First, understand: Why are more and more people choosing Fixed Frame Projection Screens in 2025? Let’s directly compare it with common electric screens and portable screens to see their pros, cons, and suit...

1. Projection Screens: The Overlooked “Image Enhancer”
With the global projection screen market reaching $1.63759 billion in 2024 (projected to exceed $4.3 billion by 2034, CAGR 10.26%), more people realize that a suitable screen can maximize projector performance. Simply put, projection screens are “professional canvases” that boost image quality by optimizing light reflection/transmission—far better than white walls, which scatter light and cause over 30% brightness loss due to surface unevenness.

1. Why Does Conference Speaker Selection Matter?
A successful corporate meeting depends on two core elements: clear audio and high-quality visuals. While many businesses focus on choosing the right conference speakers, they often overlook that a well-matched custom projection screen (like those offered by ZSMSCR) works in tandem with audio to create a seamless meeting experience. However, many people are misled by labels like “solid wood cabinet,” “large diameter,” and “high power” when selecting conference speakers. Below, we’ll break down common misconceptions and share practical tips to help you make the right choice.

4 Core Causes of Audio Failures During Movie Nights
“Just hung your custom projection screen but the audio cuts out during the movie?” This scenario is common in home theaters. According to a 2024 audio equipment repair report, 35% of audio faults stem from wiring issues, while 22% result from mismatched amplifiers and speakers . Here are the key culprits:
Connection Failures: Loose power sockets and poor audio cable contacts are top issues, especially after moving projection equipment . Low-quality sockets with weak phosphor copper strips cause voltage fluctuations and noise .
Amplifier Malfunctions: Capacitor damage and burnt amplifier tubes account for 60% of amp issues. Dust buildup on volume potentiometers causes erratic volume (repairable for just $0.30)...
Nowadays, there are countless projection screen brands on the market, leaving consumers overwhelmed. A mix of imported and domestic brands flood the market, with varying quality levels. Prices range from a few hundred yuan to several hundred thousand yuan, making it difficult for consumers to decide. Even many consumers have the misunderstanding that “using a screen is almost the same as projecting onto a white wall.” In fact, all of this stems from a lack of understanding of projection screens.
Moreover, recently many people have sent private messages asking how to choose a projector screen. Although choosing a screen is less technically demanding than choosing a projector, it’s still hard to explain it in one sentence. So I’ve compiled the latest 2025 projector screen ...
1. Core Question: Do High-Brightness Projectors Still Need Screens?
“With my 3500-ANSI-lumen projector, is a white wall enough?” This is the top question from global projection users in 2025. According to Futuresource’s Q2 2025 report, mainstream home projectors now reach 3500-6000 ANSI lumens, with laser models accounting for over 52% of global sales. However, real-world tests show: even with a 6000-ANSI-lumen laser projector, white wall images are still 35%-45% dimmer than ambient light rejecting (ALR) screens.

1. From Coachella to Louvre: Is That “Hologram” Real?
At 2024 Coachella, Billie Eilish’s holographic duet with a virtual version of herself won the Cannes Lions Grand Prix for Innovation. The Louvre’s “Da Vinci 3D Revival” exhibit used custom screens to project floating Mona Lisa sketches, drawing 2.3 million visitors. These stunning visuals have boosted hologram hype—but 90% of commercial “holograms” are actually pseudo-holograms (not lab-grade true holography) .
