The Best Outdoor Porjector Screens of 2023

When you want a permanently installed outdoor screen and have the budget to make your outdoor viewing area something special, the Elite Screens Yard Master Electric Tension screen fits the bill. It comes in four sizes, from 100 to 150 inches, with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The company’s WraithVeil Dual screen material works for both front and rear projection and is IP33 rated for water resistance. It’s also mold- and mildew-resistant and can be cleaned with soap and water. A rustproof aluminum casing houses the screen and can be mounted flush to a wall or hung from the ceiling of a patio, veranda, etc. The screen unfurls electronically with a remote control or a 12-volt projector trigger. No assembly is required, but installing and mounting the screen may take some DIY savvy for drilling and bolting.

The screen’s wide viewing angle of 150 degrees keeps the picture sharp wherever you sit, providing great contrast and vibrant colors under ideal conditions. Because the screen has a relatively low 0.8 gain score, it’s not meant to be highly reflective in bright daylight—nighttime movie watching will suit it best. Tensioning cords and a weighted bottom bar work to keep the screen flat and stable. Overall, this Yard Master screen gives your outdoor home theater the feeling of luxury.
