There are many tips for inflatable movie screens to consider when buying a suitable screen. Consumers should follow these tips for inflatable movie screens and make sure the screen they buy is durable enough to be set up for use outdoors. Various screen sizes will have different wind tolerances but all products should include takes and an anchor system to be affixed in the ground.

The best feature of an inflatable screen is that it tends to bend and is less likely to break than a stiff frame. If stakes cannot be pounded into the ground because of special landscape features or if the screen is used on a concrete patio bags of sand can be used as weights to keep the screen from blowing too much.

A screen with a black frame will offer a better viewing experience. Open zippers are also a common cause for screens not inflating all the way. Choose a product with a black border. This gives the film a special look and helps it stand out. Though some screens have a picture right up to the edge this effect may not be as fun to watch.

The screen size should match the size of the yard. An overly large screen will overwhelm the space and make viewing uncomfortable. The homeowner should scope out the viewing area and make sure there is enough room for the guests to sit comfortably.

You should consider the size of the yard or patio where the films will be shown. Sitting up front is also not always the very best place to be when watching outdoor films. A quality HD projector provides a better picture when playing wide screen movies and produces a clearer picture even for those sitting close to the inflatable screen.
