If your projector screen is experiencing waves, you may need to tighten the screen legs. You can also clean the screen with a soft cloth to fix the problem. Adding tension with a re-tensioner can help as well. If you have tried all the methods above and still don’t get rid of the waves, you should consider contacting a projector screen repair technician.
Retractable Projector Screen Tension Loosens
If you’ve noticed that the projector screen is showing waves or tearing up during projection, you may need to adjust the tension of your retractable projector screen. This simple repair can be done in as little as a few minutes. It will ensure that the screen will move smoothly during projection, and you don’t need to ask anyone else to help you.
A common problem with retractable projector screens is that the tension of the spring is too loose, which prevents the screen from rolling back into the housing. Loose tension causes the screen to drag and cause waves in the image. The solution is to tighten the tension of the spring, which controls the downward and upward motion. If the spring is too loose, you may need to adjust the tension manually.
Using Twist Yarns
A screen can display an image with a lot of distortion if it has waves. This problem can be solved by fixing the screen’s tension. One method is to use twist yarns. The twist yarns can be woven to provide the necessary tension for a screen to display the image properly.
This method has two advantages. First, it produces an improved projection screen. The second advantage is its antibacterial and dustproof property. It is also very durable. Another advantage is that it can be cleaned easily with water. Besides that, it can be easily maintained and is also easy to store. Finally, it can fix the projector screen’s wavy effect and improve the projection effect.
Adding Tension with A Re-Tensioner
Adding tension with a re-tensor can help fix projector screen waves that are caused by uneven stretching. This can be caused by varying environmental conditions, improper assembly, or changing temperatures. The good news is that if you can fix the screen properly, the waves should disappear on their own. However, some materials, such as vinyl, require extra help to relax.
First, you’ll want to remove the projector screen from its housing. Then, you’ll want to find a working area. The screen housing will have end caps connecting to the spring. Hold these caps tightly during the repair process to prevent them from loosening.
