We got this screen for our new meeting room. It is silent to extend, however it takes a minute to go down. I mean when you hit power button on projector and arrow down on the screen they will be ready at the same time, so pretty good. It is important to note that the new screen smell quite a bit, like rubber. So if installing in small rooms, maybe something to consider that it will need a day or two to get rid of the smell. I can imagine in small room it will be overwhelming. Overall I am satisfied and it is good for our needs.
