Qinux ScryneX without a frame – does it stay flat enough?

I went the tape route with mine and honestly expected the worst, but it sat flatter than I thought it would. A few small ripples showed up near the bottom corners, but once the movie was running I stopped noticing them. Not saying it’s perfect, but it didn’t turn into a wrinkly mess like I’d feared.

I hung mine up with just a couple of command hooks and it’s been fine for the few times I’ve used it. There’s a tiny bit of wave near the bottom edge but honestly you only notice it if the screen is totally white. Once a movie is playing I forget it’s even there.

If you’re the type who can’t stand any kind of visual imperfection, you’re going to notice stuff. I had mine up with tape for a weekend setup and the corners were fine, but the bottom edge had this soft wave that never really pulled tight. It didn’t ruin the movie, but it was there.

The trick is that the material relaxes a bit after it hangs for a while. First night it looked okay, second night it looked a little better. But if you’re expecting it to look like a tensioned frame screen, that’s not what this is.

For a casual hangout or a backyard thing, it’s good enough. If you’re the kind of person who pauses the movie to fix a tiny ripple, you’ll be annoyed. I keep mine rolled up when it’s not in use and just deal with a few minutes of settling before I start. That’s the tradeoff for not drilling holes in the wall.

I guess it really comes down to where you’re putting it. I used mine in a bedroom for a few months with just two nails in the wall and it stayed surprisingly flat. The top corners had a tiny bit of give if the air moved, but during a movie you honestly didn’t notice it. I think the material has enough weight to it that it doesn’t crinkle up like a bedsheet. What got me was taking it down and putting it back up a few times. That’s when it started holding some creases from how I folded it. So if you’re planning to set it up and leave it for a while, I’d say go for it. If you’re taking it down every single weekend, you might end up chasing wrinkles more than you want.

I have zero patience for setup fuss and mine hangs fine with just a couple of hooks. No wrinkles that matter during a movie, and I’m not gentle with it. I think people who complain are expecting it to behave like a rigid TV, which it’s never going to be. If you’re okay with that, it’s fine.

I think the flatness worries get blown out of proportion. I have mine hanging from a couple of hooks in my garage setup and it sits fine, the image looks great even with a bit of movement in the fabric. You will notice some texture if you stare at it from the side, but from where you actually sit it’s a non-issue.

I had mine hanging in a spare room for a few months using just some clips along the top bar I already had, and it stayed flatter than I expected. There was a slight wave near the bottom corners, but once a movie was playing I really didn’t notice it. I think the material has enough weight to it that it doesn’t crinkle up badly.

If anything I’d say the opposite. I tried hanging mine with just tape and hooks and the corners kept curling no matter what I did. It was noticeable during bright scenes, especially with text or subtitles. Maybe I got a bad batch or something, but flat enough for me it was not.

I wouldn’t count on it staying perfectly flat. Mine has a persistent wave along the bottom edge no matter how I hang it, and it does show up during bright scenes. It’s fine for casual watching but if you’re picky about image quality, you’ll probably be adjusting it more than you’d like.
