Choose fixed frame when the wall is dedicated

If the projector is your main display and you do not need artwork or a television on the same wall, a fixed frame is hard to beat for simplicity.

Choose floor rising when the room is shared

A retractable screen can preserve the room visually and may pair well with cabinetry. Just remember that UST projection is unforgiving of surface waves, so tensioning quality matters.
