I went to the Carada.com website to look at the product - nice implementation as I would expect. Carada built its online reputation by achieving high quality at a reasonable cost. My initial reaction is that the company's pricing of this unit follows that strategy, but I would ultimately judge whether it's a "good value" by rating its price, quality and features against competing systems. I haven't started researching this yet (but will now.)

No. I didn't know they existed. But then again, I'm just now building my room, shopping for projectors and screens and hanging out in the audioholics.com forum to learn as much as I can.

1. It seems like a reasonable deal, but I'm only considering motorized roll-down screens at the moment, since my theater room is also my living room (the screen would be "temporary"), so it wouldn't interest me personally.

1. It looks like it would be handy if I had a projector and screen, but it seems like a large chunk of money to put down on what seems to be sort of unnecessary piece of equipment. I'd want to have a fairly expensive projector before I'd consider this sort of thing

From what I have seen of the other systems out there - yes. I do think a limited market for the product however. At 100" the black bars really don't bother me.

Not for me....factoring out a quality Carada screen in the $750 to $1000 that puts masking system at greater than $2K+. I think combo price point has to be under $2K for to open up to mid-level buyers.

Considering the cost of their screens, the masking system adds a substantial amount. Especially if one is only planning to spend $2k or less on a projector.
