Open Air Cinema's Got A 220-Inch Backyard Display

Open Air Cinema's 16-foot inflatable backyard movie screen isn't typical for TVSnob's coverage but I thought it was pretty neat when I saw it. Open Air usually caters to film festivals and big drive-ins so it's likely this is a high quality product, though don't quote me on that. It measures in at 16 by 9 feet or 220 inches diagonally and includes a blower fan so it takes virtually no time to set up.

The company says that the screen is made of wrinkle-proof ripstop nylon, colored matte white on the viewable surface but with a black backstop that blocks light and improves contrast ratio. Amazingly it'll stand up to 20 mile per hour winds as well. Once you're finished with it, you just reverse the blower fan and it shrivels down to a 20 pound mass of nylon that fits nicely in an included duffel bag.

It's a little pricey at $999, but well worth it if you're a big backyard dweller in the summer. Open Air also offers two other smaller screen sizes: a 12 by 7 foot screen costing $599 and a 9 footer costing $449.
