Front projection
| White matte | Smooth non-shiny surface Most suitable for wide shallow or square rooms Most popular type of front projection screen |
| Glass beaded | Coated with tiny glass beads Reflects narrow pattern of light further back into the room Most suitable for long, narrow rooms |
| Lenticular | Silver corrugated material that reflects a pattern of light as wide as the matte screen and as far back as the glass beaded screen A compromise between the beaded and matte white surface |

Mainly used for rear projection
A screen mounted on a 3-legged stand is called a tripod screen.
Setting up a tripod screen
1. Hold screen in a vertical position and use your foot to release the leg lock.
2. Spread legs so they extend out to their maximum distance to ensure stable support of the screen.
3. Release the upper extension rod that is inserted into the end of the metal case.
4. Rotate the metal case from vertical to horizontal position.
5. Rotate the keystone correction bar (if present) into place if you intend to use it.
6. Grasp the handle on the edge of the screen and pull the screen up and hook the handle into the extension rod or keystone correction bar.
7. Raise the extension rod to the desired height. This pulls the screen out of the metal case.
8. To collapse, reverse the procedure.
