The blower is quiet, so it is less likely to interrupt your movie experience.

It has a single vent, so it takes longer to deflate compared to how fast it inflates.
Buying an Inflatable Screen
There are a number of things too think about when getting ready to purchase an inflatable movie screen.
How do I project onto the screen?
An inflatable screen gives you a white canvas to project your film onto, you will need an outdoor projector that can play the film onto this.
This projector is ideal for the job, small and compact while able to project onto any of these large screens.
What type of screen do I need?
The answer really depends on the space. If you have a huge yard you can buy whatever size you want, also do you want it inside for a home theater or strictly outside. Always read about it see if it is a front projection screen only or if it can do both front and back.
If you want it for a front projection you need to make sure that the projector will have a clear view and if you live somewhere a bit windy you need to think about the screen strength and if you have an area to set it up that is protected from wind.
Do I need a blower or pump to inflate?
Some fill like an air mattress, you turn it on and fill it then close it off and it holds the air, and others come with a blower that you that stays on constantly and continuously blows air into the screen. This can be annoying because you will have the sound of the blower going while your movie is playing.
What features should I consider when buying?
Some have removable screens that are useful for cleaning and any type of maintenance that may need done on it and it can make storage a lot easier. Some screens will include “movie tickets” that you can hand out to your guests that give that old-time drive-in theater feel, and some have themed accessories for movie parties.
Some of the inflatable screens on this list come bundled with some of the fun accessories and inflation blowers. When you are a first timer with this type of thing it is nice to know that you won’t have to purchase any extras and have it all come in one box.
