The XHYCPY inflatable movie screen is a 16-foot outdoor projection screen with an included air blower that inflates it in a couple of minutes and holds pressure while you watch. It supports front and rear projection, so you can put the projector behind the screen if you do not want people walking through the beam. Stakes and tethers hold it against normal evening wind. It packs down into a storage bag roughly duffel sized. Best fit: backyard movie nights, block parties, church and school events, and graduation season. You still need a projector and a sound source, and the blower runs continuously during use, so plan an outdoor outlet or an extension run.
Pros
- Inflates in a couple of minutes with the included blower, no frame to assemble
- Supports rear projection so nobody walks through the beam
- Stakes and tethers hold it against normal evening wind
- Packs into a duffel-sized bag rather than a rigid frame you have to store
Cons
- The blower runs the whole time you are watching, so you need an outlet nearby and it adds a low background hum
Frequently asked questions
Does the blower run the entire movie?
Yes. It maintains the pressure that keeps the screen taut, so it needs to stay powered and running throughout.
Is the blower noisy?
It produces a steady low hum. Placing it behind the screen or away from the seating area keeps it out of the way of dialogue.
Do I need a projector too?
Yes. This is the screen and blower only. You supply the projector, a media source, and speakers.
How much wind can it take?
Staked and tethered it handles normal evening breeze. Take it down ahead of gusty conditions or a storm.
