Will this screen hold up in an extremely hot climate?

seems to do well in the hot "near desert" summer temps we have here in sw riverside county, ca........only real problem I've experienced is keeping the screen from blowing over when it is windy and getting cracks as a result......

We have ours in direct sun all day long. It does fine, but what it cannot handle is wind. Unfortunately, this is too flimsy unless you burry all the legs of the "fence" into the ground using cement.

I've had no problems at all. I live in western Pennsylvania at we had several days in the 90's last year. I never had any problems and I highly recommend these.

I have owned four panels for one year. I live in FL, but the panels are located in the shade, disguising our air conditioner units. I like the versatility of the panels, being able to configure amd place them exactly the way I want. I would recommend them as a screen; make sure the support bars go firmly into the ground. They have not warped or faded. I would buy them again.

I am in southern California and we had weeks of over 100's and it looks the same as when I got it. I use it to hide my air conditioning unit and it blends in with my house colors. I do sincerely say it was a wise investment---and much more durable and attractive then I had expected. I do have some discoloration from the sprinkler spotting it on one side---I can live with that. It still is a great deal.

No problem. It says that it will hold up to a 60" screen and that is totally doable. We currently have one with a 40" LED and two others with 55" LEDs each. Well constructed and super durable. I highly recommend this product.

I had mine for a few months before I sold it. But it felt very solid. I think the back of the screen was indeed a bit flexible but not enough to cause any problem, and I had to press pretty hard to push it toward the screen.

Yes Jack, the LCD screen works great even in bright sunlight as long as you are not wearing polarized sunglasses while using it. The 3 inch LCD screen is awesome!

No-this screen does nothing for the sun....even with that said, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!!!

I do not think it would work...even if one could the vents would not prevent rain from coming in and defeat the purpose of the screen. Joan

I haven't had trouble with the screen, it is bright enough and the dimmer has a variety of options to adjust the brightness. Regarding the temperature I use my Alienware daily for school (including CPU intensive programs like ArcGis) and leisure and it doesn't get extremely hot. If you use it for a long time and with CPU intensive programs it will get hot, but the cooling system works just fine.

maybe if it's screened in. I don't see it holding up after being exposed to the elements....

Good morning. We use it for a similar situation, but did not try to adhere it to the glass. We hung the screen from grommets and had great success with that. The weight of the screen itself kept it smooth. Our area was enclosed and we did not have to worry about drafts or movement rippling the screen.

The screen appears to be reasonably flexible, sturdy, and is much like the screens on all monitors produced these days. I think that it is not likely to break unless given a sharp strike. I'd use the packing it is shipped in to protect it when moving. Surprisingly, I could find no information online regarding the type of glass. Perhaps you could find out more about its characteristics by contacting the manufacturer or Corning.

Honestly i would not buy the screen, its pretty much junk, just take it ti a professional its worth it.

I can't imagine it would survive the heat - it is pretty delicate. Maybe in total shade spot.

It's pretty resilient with the outdoor. But that's from my experience. The only thing annoying is the plastic that protects your screen. I used mine for a year. Only reason why I don't use it anymore now is because I do workout videos at home and keep my phone in my pockets.

It can be handled easily however each time you move it you take a chance of damaging the screen material or the coating on the frame. Storage would seem to be a problem. This screen is like a piece of furniture. It looks good in place. If you need to to set up and take down after each use I would get a portable roll up screen. This type protects itself and takes up far less space.

Yes your screen should be safe. The front edges and corners are raised and will protect it.

I ordered my screen over ten years ago. I know that they have some really good ones now and even some special paint the is for projecting onto. Mine is a Da-Lite and it has held up well.

Absolutely. Because the screen strapping is made of heavy nylon instead of the wimpy paper webbing that was used in earlier (last year's) versions, it is easy to take this screen down, fold it up and rehang it like new. I expect it to last more than one season vith no problem at all.
