I will have to move my projector to sit on the floor if I want to sit down low on the couch and watch movies. The brightness drops off pretty rapidly as you move away from the projector's position, and it's nearly unusable if you're more than 30 degrees away.I tried taping a white piece of paper to the screen to compare 'flat' brightness to the screen's reflectivity. At 15 feet from the screen, keeping your head within 4 feet of the projector gives you a better picture on the screen than on the flat paper. I was suprised to find that with my ceiling-mounted projector, I had to stand up with my head near the projector to get the best brightness with this screen. The screen basically reflects most of the light directly back at the projector, no matter where it's placed. But beyond 4 feet, you're better off with the matte white of the paper.
I had to let it hang in my garage for about 48 hours before bringing it back into the house and I can still get a whiff of it when I get too close. I've only had it about a week and Im hoping this will wear off completely over time. Other than that its a great looking screen.-UPDATE.- Scent wore off after a few weeks and I Im very happy with the screen. This screen has one major drawback, it stinks to high heaven when you fist unpack it. It has a very strong acetone (think nail polish remover) odor that is overwhelming. Make sure to use the 'viewing distance = screen diagonalx2' rule of thumb and you'll be very pleased.
