This allows you to skip having to set up the movie screen.
And, just project the screen against the wall.
This is as easy as it gets.

Got some lounge chairs?
Then you can roll them up right in front of the screen and start watching.
This lets you enjoy moves against any background since you’re easily able to move the chairs from one area of your home to another.
