LYLYCTY Green Screen Key Backdrop, Polyester, 5X7 FT, Photography Background, Machine Washable, Green, LY166

Quality, size and color were perfect

I bought this as we are up and coming Facebook Gaming live streamers. We've been doing it for a bit now and one thing that's always coming up from our viewers and other streamers is "Why haven't you tried out a Green Screen yet!!??". We decorate our room and have lighting which I enjoy doing, but eventually after enough people asked us about it I decided "Hey, maybe I should give this a try". I didn't want to spend $150 on some fancy Elgato screen though. I didn't even know if I'd like it. Maybe it would be too much of a pain to do? So I bought this for a super low price and I have to say.... Wow. The results exist. I have other streamer friends who use much more expensive options and after fiddling with the Streamlabs OBS settings for this and adding a LUX in after the fact it absolutely looks better then theirs or at the very least equal to. Just remember LIGHTING LIGHTING LIGHTING. The light will absolutely make or break your quality of your outcome. I did iron this eventually, but honestly it didn't make a difference with anything, it just looks nicer. It's long enough to tack on our ceiling behind the chair and it won't hang on the ground to get rolled over by the chair, which is great. I do suggest while ironing to do it on an ironing board or as I did, using a hard flat flooring like linoleum in a kitchen and place a large towel underneath and use steam/water so it doesn't get too hot. Also don't leave the iron in once spot, move continuously, it'll turn out beautiful. Only took me maybe 20 minutes. Super cheap with great results. If you want to dabble in it and not blow money or your not making millions as a streamer then grab this! It works awesome on a budget!

I'll get to the wrinkles in a second... This cloth, like most cloths, has two sides. One is slightly more reflective than the other. To give yourself the best chromakey experience make sure you are using the less-reflective side as your greenscreen. Now, on to the wrinkles. This came folded up and had creases. That happens with cloth backdrops. What works for me is to hang the backdrop on whatever stand I'll be using and then use a small hand steamer to smooth out the fabric. Not to get preachy but with proper lighting this backdrop doesn't need to be perfectly smooth. The trick is to fill the backdrop with even light and to be far enough away and with enough light on you so that any green that's reflected off the cloth doesn't show up on you. It won't turn you green but can make your "edges" disappear. Anyway, this is a nice, lightweight green background that is perfect for video conferences.

Gorgeous color! Especially when paired with velvet red and gold accessories! The wrinkles came out fairly easily with an iron. We used this as part of a Christmas Photo Booth and it was perfect!

Good quality, I used my cricut to iron on happy birthday onto the backdrop. Good size. Little too big for what I wanted it but it worked :)

Comes with massive wrinkles, no way their advice to hang overnight will remove them. I left it hang for over a week after using iron. I got a majority of them out with a steamer which was a lot of work but I am still able to see them in photos. The fabric itself “for the price” does take good quality photos and with editing wrinkles could be removed for the most part but this is not a hang and go product required quite a bit of extra work to get good results. The fabric itself is also very thin so you need a good solid white surface behind or under the fabric or you will get bad shadows. So if your looking for something cheap and don’t mind the work I’d recommend it, otherwise invest in something better. From reading reviews I did not imagine it to be this bad.

For the price this is a good value. It is an effective and easy to put up green screen as long as you have some thumbtacks around and a wall that is a solid color behind it. The green screen is much thinner than green screens that I've had in the past so you will definitely want to avoid putting it up in front of a wall that has any sort of pattern like 70's wall paper. The good thing is that is light weight, easy to store, and wrinkle resistant. It will of course come folded, so you will have to do some initial ironing, but that is quick and easy and won't be too much of a problem. If you are putting together a low budget video or photo studio, then this is definitely an item to consider.

Not usable is there is any light behind you at all. It's not opaque by any means. Fine in front of a wall, and you can assess the wrinkles... pretty bad. Useless for this scenario. UPDATE: took another star off. Having blacked out the window behind my blinds, the thin fabric still shows the white window blinds vs the tan flat wall paint on the sides of the window blinds. That plus the wrinkles causing shadows make this utterly useless as a 'green screen'. Maybe the green screen would actually work better, than white, because white is too prone to shadows, perhaps, not sure. Just know this white color does zero for any green screen color key algorithm.
