Would this make a good projection screen?

No, not really. It's way too wrinkly. I had to steam mine to get the wrinkles out and it still has wrinkles. You are better off with a projection screen or even a white king size sheet if you're on a budget. Good luck.

If you projected a computer screen onto it. It needs a computer display of some sort.

I believe it would work. That is how we use it for lyrics projection. As long as you can extend the display to another monitor, the switch is no different.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light. -Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement. -Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out. -Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.

According to what I have seen with the activboards they are using a lcd projector withe the board so I would think it would work. Best check search Promethean .com and see what they use for projection. Hope I could help.

Yes. Basically whatever you watch on the screen, gets projected. However, the unit is an older design and fairly low resolution. Ok in a very dark room but not very bright either. There are newer units that may improve upon this unit.

It is not an electronic device - so "no." It is only a screen. You will need to project onto it.

The projectors that I researched will project an image from 20"-300" . The closer the projector is to the screen, the smaller the image. The 115" diagonal screen is a great size. I've set up the screen in the back yard several times for movie nights. You can hang the screen on a fence or from the low eave of the house. I like the screen but you will need to use the anchors (that are provided) on all 4 corners. Let me know if you have any other questions.

If the monitor is a desk setup, I would use an USB to DVI adapter. This works for conference room projection in my mind.

Absolutely! I used this last summer for outdoor movies during the evening projecting on just the light color siding of the house. The picture was great over 12' maybe 15 feet. This year I purchased a 12' screen but set it up once. I was able to make the image small or beyond the 12' for a good video. I now use this daily in my master bedroom projector which is about 70". Even during the day indoors it is still good.

We actually don't use a screen. We painted a section of our wall with a base white, and view the projector on there. It looks as if it shows better than on a screen.

The screen is certainly good enough for native 1080p projector. However, the screen is not what I would call acoustically transparent. It is a film. Although the sound will be transmitted through the screen, it may be somewhat muffled.

The material will act as a dual sided screen...just a little muted. It is very sheer. The non shiny side is for front projection. You would need a backer sheet to not shine through. I used landscape black weed block material doubled up since my screen is in front of my fireplace( non used) wall and had too much light pass through and reflection off the wall. The speakers do sound great through the screen though.

Projection is decent, although we have to hook up our own sound. Works fine with a Bluetooth speaker connected to the laptop. We use ours for movies for our block parties, so it's fine for that. For important business meetings, I would suggest something sharper and with sound.

It could, although it probably wouldn't be the greatest quality and you'll need a powerful enough GPU to drive the extra pixels at high frame rates. It is made more for static image displays. There is an answer to this question on the Displaylink website

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

I think it primarily depends on your material. So long as it isn't opaque you should be good. I experimented with a few translucent materials such as plastic sheeting, a backyard awning and a bedsheet and it looked great from the other side. You are always going to lose some brightness but thankfully this projector has a higher lumen count. You might have to customize your settings and bump up the values of brightness and tweak some colors, but you should be good for rear projection.
