I'm thinking about moving away from Dalite because of the freight costs and customs issues to Canada.
How would you compare the 2 for quality? There is an obvious difference in price so I'm most concerned about product quality.

I don't experience with Da-Lite, but I really like the Dragonfly screens. I typically use the standard motorized. I've never had an issue with them, one guy can install them, 12v trigger input, ir, screen quality is nice IMO,
I just sold a SI Black Diamond Screen, other than that, I haven't sold anything but Dragonfly for years.

unless a higher end job calls for it i almost always use dragonfly. I can have a motorized screen up my self, leveled out in under 15-20minutes. Good features and relativity quiet. I just wish they offered a ceiling trim kid for drop ceilings.
I do have experience with Da-Lite and their quality far surpasses dragonfly but its also more money and picture quality isnt that much better.
Both are good, i have quite a few dragonflys in the field and not one issue.

How was that black diamond? I haven't had the pleasure of seeing one myself.

SnapAV all Chinese made, like Monoprice?
I hope distributors start labelling products as American-made, or American-assembled.

Make that two of us. Which screen manufacturers sell nice ceiling trim kits for drop ceilings?

Anyone used one of the snap tab-tensioned ones? Also what motors do the Snap ones have in them?
