[23:35] Rick: Hello, how may I help you.

[23:35] Customer: Hello Rick. I’m curious about the difference between manual and manual b series?

[23:37] Rick: the manual b is an economy version of the Manual series. the housing is smaller and the material is a 1.0 gain the standard manual is 1.1 gain

[23:38] Customer: Elite Screens M120XWH2 is the manual series correct?

[23:39] Customer: I’m looking for a 120″ Pulldown preferably with a black casing

[23:40] Customer: It seems like its pricier to buy on other sites rather than direct with you folks.

[23:40] Rick: the model for black casing should end with “UWH2” and for white it end with “XWH2”

[23:41] Rick: you may compare here.

[23:48] Customer: what is the screen quality difference?

[23:50] Rick: 164.00 for the manual b series. the difference is that material is is lighter and the housing is smaller this will make it budget friendly and light in weight as well the material for the manual b is 1.0 gain. and the the standard manual it is 1.1 gain this means you are getting 10% more light reflecting back to you.
