Recommended Outdoor Movie Screens
Not sure what to choose as an outdoor movie projector screen? You have two choices available, you either go with an inflatable, or a standing/hanging screen.
Handy Hint: My preference is standing screens over inflatables as they don’t require electricity, and tend to offer a better quality image.
Standing or Hanging Screens
(Recommended)
Standing outdoor movie screen kits are portable and robust, and don’t require any mains electricity. They take a little longer to set-up then inflatable screens, but offer a better viewing experience and can be left outdoors in all weathers.
About $90 – JaeilPLM 100-Inch Screen
It’s cheap, but really good. You can set-up in around 15 minutes and move it around into the best position in your backyard. With a 100 inches of screen (just over 8 foot) it’s great for beginners and is in a widescreen 16:9 format. Go check the reviews on Amazon now.
You don’t need any power to run it, can leave it out overnight with no concerns, and watch movies in amazing 4K. Includes a one year manufacturer warranty.
Inflatable Screens
(Require Electricity)
Inflatable movie screens offer a quick and easy way in which you can get started with a backyard movie night. You can set them up in seconds as they will all come with a built-in blower fan which you connect to the mains.
About $150 – EasyGoProducts Screen
If you’re on a budget, then I recommend the EasyGoProducts inflatable movie screen on Amazon.com. There are two sizes available; 14 foot and 16 foot models. It comes with a carry bag, widescreen format, and everything you need to secure it to the ground.
You will need to hook it up to the mains power though, as it comes with a blower that needs to be running constantly. You can get up and running in just a few minutes.
