Why YOU should own a Carada

"The goal of any screen is to accurately portray the picture you are projecting - and the Criterion does that with flying colors."

"Setup could only be simpler if Carada had a person come to your home and do it for you."

"Considering these tests came out nearly identical on a different, more expensive projector screen, I think the Carada represents a tremendous value for those looking to upgrade from their wall or a cheaper pull-down solution."

"You can spend much more on screens for your movie room, but you can't find a better screen for the money."

"The fit of the frame pieces together was about as precise as is possible to get I think."

"If you want personalized service and know that ANY issues will be swiftly dealt with, AND know you got great product for the money, Carada should be on your short list."

"My Carada 102" came in on Monday.  It was packed very well and went together without hassle in probably 30 minutes or so.  The picture looks terrific with my Z1, quite an improvement over the white wall it is now covering.  Having that black frame makes it kind of look like a huge plasma, very cool."

"Carada always replied to my emails very promptly and in fact processed my screen order within about 3 days, sent it on the way and sent the confirming info without prompting."

"Great product, great picture, great service, highly recommended!"

"I have never seen customer service like this. The people at Carada really understand what it's all about. They take care of their customers as if they were family. I ordered my screen and had it at my doorstep within four days. Nothing was overlooked. The brilliant white screen really stands out in my home theater. There are no words to describe how incredibly satified I am with Carada. The experience of dealing with them, their promp responses to e-mails to answer concerns, will leave an indelible mark in my memory. Thanks Carada. You guys are simply the best."

"I actually assembled the screen this morning before heading into work a little bit late. I watched a few minutes of a 2.4:1 movie I had in my blu-ray player and have to say that it looks fantastic. Thanks again for the excellent product."

"The screen is superb -- quality/workmanship is second to none. All pieces fit perfectly and I had a hassle free installation. It just 'worked.'  I could not be more pleased with the product. You can add me to your list of happy customers."

"Attached you will find a couple of photos that show my Carada 110" 16:9 Brilliant White screen now in place.  I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product as well as the outstanding customer service I have continually received from everyone at your company.  Gregg Loewen of Lion A/V Consultants just came by last week and calibrated my Optoma HD80 projector in conjunction with my Carada screen.  I am thrilled with my new home theatre and I owe many thanks to Carada for building such awesome products."

"Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my 110 Brilliant White Precision Series screen.  The build and screen quality are first rate.

And the people at Carada helped me out a lot, thanks again"

"I gotta tell you, the custom screen size on the Brilliant White fit perfectly!  ...very nice and colors just pop pop pop.  I am a happy camper now.

Thanks again for a fine product!"

"After researching screens for a while and reading comments from other avforums and avsforums members it became clear that Carada had a reputation for quality product and service and support.  Even though I live in the UK I chose a Carada screen and boy my expectations were exceeded on all fronts!"

"I do not give perfect scores very often but every once in a while a business you patronize goes above and beyond what you would expect from a vendor.    ...provided complete and concise answers to my questions and was very thorough in determining my setup and goals and directing me to the product that worked best for my system.

The 1.4 gain Brilliant White Criterion Series screen is of superior workmanship and the attention to details is apparent from the moment you open the FedEx box to inspection of the finely packaged individual components and the slipping on of the complimentary white gloves.

And if that were not enough, the price was far lower than the other screen "players".  Delivery was prompt and assembly was a breeze.  Thanks for making my screen purchase an image I want to project!"

"I love my Precision Series screen. You guys construct an awesome product. Quick response and delivery, easy to assemble and install at a price that should be two times with this kind picture and construction. I love it... I have recommended four of my friends to purchase a Carada screen. Thanks Team Carada, continue to do great work and service."

"My Carada screen is just about two years old now.  It is a 118” by 50” 2.35:1 aspect ratio.  Talk about WOW factor!  I went with the Brilliant White Precision Series screen because I have an Infocus SP4805 projector and I needed the extra gain that this screen affords me.  All my movies look great on it.  It was a snap to put together.  I was able to assemble and mount the screen by myself with no problems.  For quality and value I don’t think you can do much better than a Carada screen."

"Carada is awesome.  Their product is of great quality and value, their responsiveness is one of the best I've seen, their packaging is perfect and their customer service is excellent!"

"All of my friends and family are just stunned at the picture quality of my projection set up.  I would recommend these guys to any who are considering a screen."

"LOOKS GREAT!  The velvet wrapped frame is awesome.  If I would have tried a DIY project, yes I would have saved $$, but I'm not skilled enough to produce what I have now."

"...customer service is first class"

"If you are in the market, for the sake of your sanity, get a Carada!"

" My screen arrived today packaging was perfect all items were undamaged.  I just finished installing the screen it looks beautiful.

THANK YOU!"

"I have to tell you that I never had such a pleasant buying experience on the internet!

The assembly was very easy, and very intuitive.

...the image was stunning.  I have an Infocus IN76, and I was very, very pleased with the results.  The color are vibrant and accurate.  The velvet material on the frame does an excellent job, it really does enhance the viewing experience.

The complimentary white gloves!  I had a good laugh about that!  Well, that pretty much sums up the whole experience:  A white glove service!

Much respect from a very pleased customer"

"It's one hell of a screen and was easy to assemble and fix to a wall.  After considering all the other options available in the UK even with import costs the Carada screen works out very good value.  A fantastic product IMHO."

Peter Tomasino

"The project started in Jan 2005 and since I knew I would use a DLP Sharp 10000 projector I needed help on the right screen to use... what manufacturer, screen gain etc.  There certainly were the BIG names and also the most expensive options, but I had read on line about a company named Carada (that I found by accident) well before I started.  When the time came, I did a little searching and finally sent an email... we discussed sizes, screen gains and after a few more comparisons I never looked back, I placed my order, my screen arrived... (the fit and finish are top shelf... I love the velvet frame...) it went together as described (easy!!) and once installed the Brilliant White material for my light controlled room looks stunning!!"

"Great to deal with and I paid half the price for a great product..."

"The quality, attention to detail and precision fitting of your screen is outstanding!  Everything fit together like a glove"

"Bottom line, we are VERY pleased.  I researched other screens and found yours not only to be superior in workmanship and material quality, but a FAR better price.  Keep up the good work...."

"Carada is hard to beat for their excellent customer service, money, and performance.  The High Contrast Grey screen brings the best out of my Infocus 4805, outstanding combo indeed!"

Todd Clements

"Got my new Carada 1.78 CW 96" screen yesterday.  Hung it along with my new sp4805 last night and fired them up.  Haven't gone to bed yet.

This has been a DIY project a long time in the making with a great deal of research, cabinet construction and soliciting expert opinions from people in the home theater business like you.  My biggest concern was a possible let down given the high expectations.  I've got to tell you that I am amazed at the quality of the image and your product.  Many thanks for your advice in choosing the right screen option."

"My vote goes to Carada...my (InFocus) 7200 looks fabulous and the screen looks as good, if not better!  Best bang for the buck screen out there right now.  Hats off to Carada!"

"... a killer screen that makes my room look great and makes my picture look even better."

Kyle Thomas

"A short word on my Carada experience.  I hired a local HT professional to assist me with the project.  He also happens to be a Stewart dealer.  When we hung the screen, he said he thought the quality of the frame and screen were comparable to his Stewart screens.  He said that the Carada was a little easier to hang however.  Also, Carada had the best customer service experience I've had in a long time...professional, prompt, and bent over backwards to make certain I had all the information I needed before purchasing...the 30-day refund provided for peace of mind."

"I really like the Carada screen.  It's a quality product."

"I replaced a Parkland screen that I had built and now that I have I wish I'd just saved the time/effort/money and bought this screen to begin with.  I cannot say enough good about my experience with Carada Screens"

David Firth

"BTW, everyone comments about the screen quality.  Your screen is what they see and I have seen local stereo home theater stores want around $1600-$1800 for the same product.  I think the biggest hurdle people have is the doing it themselves.  Your screen was so easily assembled my 16 year old daughter and I installed it in less than hour."

"Just a note to tell you how impressed I am with your organization.  What a model.  The product is superb, so well manufactured with a fit and finish second to none.  If it were the most expensive item on the market, I might expect it to be so, but for the price this is just an exceptional value.  Very nicely done!"

Ken Grove
Maryland

"The secure packing was clean and easily unpackable.  Gloves were included to keep the screen clean from hand oils.  Total installation was done by myself diligently in an hour.

I have to say I am extremely impressed with the quality and the picture contrast on the screen. We made a good decision on the 0.8 gain fabric. The screen really helps create a warm and inviting environment in my theater."

Tom Adams

"Here are some shots of my HT room with your excellent screen.  My wife and I couldn't be happier.  Your screen with my Panasonic AE900U is incredible.  The audio store that did the projector install was very impressed with not just the image from the Panny, but with the quality of your screen.  They said it was every bit as good as the other name brands they typically use."
