When to Choose Draper Targa XL Instead of Standard for Impressive Large Venue Projections

Not all rooms are the same. Some are small, some are big, and some are very, very large. When you’re setting up a screen for any room, the size matters a lot. A small screen in a vast room doesn’t look right. And a huge screen in a tiny room is just overkill.
That’s where a Draper projector screen makes all the difference. Draper offers different types of projector screens for various room sizes. And today, let’s talk about two of them—the Draper Targa Screen and the Draper Targa XL. Both are great, but they are made for different situations.
Meet the Draper Targa Screen
The regular Draper Targa Screen is made for medium-sized rooms. It’s an electric screen, which means it rolls down and up with a motor. You don’t have to pull it by hand. It stays flat when it’s open and rolls away neatly when not in use.
This screen is great for:
- Small to medium conference rooms
- Classrooms in schools or colleges
- Worship halls
- Boardrooms
It’s quiet, smooth, and fits into the room without taking too much space. The screen has a heavy bar at the bottom, which helps it stay straight and not wavy. The case is strong, made of steel, and painted white to match most room styles.
When the Targa Screen Works Best
You should pick the regular Draper Targa Screen when:
- Your room is not too wide
- Your audience is under 50 people
- You don’t need to go over 10 feet in screen width
- You want an easy setup and a clean design
It works well for regular meetings, teaching sessions, small events, or everyday presentations.
Now, Say Hello to the Draper Targa XL
The Draper Targa XL is like the big brother of the regular Targa. It’s built for large rooms where you need a bigger image that everyone can see clearly—even from the back.
This screen can go up to 16 feet wide, which is a lot. It also comes with a strong aluminum case that keeps it safe and stable. Even though it’s big, it runs quietly, just like the regular Targa.
Targa XL is perfect for:
- Auditoriums
- Big lecture halls
- Theaters
- Large event rooms
- Hotels with big ballrooms
When to Go Big with Targa XL
Here are some signs that you need the Draper Targa XL:
- Your room is too big for a 10-foot screen
- You have over 100 people watching
- You want the screen to be the primary focus of the room
- You need a strong, wide screen that still looks stylish
The Targa XL comes with more screen choices too—like TecVision for brighter spaces, or ClearSound for placing speakers behind the screen.
Why Screen Surface Also Matters
You might think a screen is just a white cloth. But it’s not that simple. Draper projector screens use special materials for better picture quality. Some screens block out light from the room. Some let sound pass through. Some give better contrast. So when choosing between Targa and Targa XL, don’t forget to think about the screen material too.
In Targa XL, you get more surface choices, like TecVision, which works well even in bright rooms. You also get Chroma Key green screens for studios and video shoots.
Simple Setup, Smooth Look
Both Targa and Targa XL are easy to mount on walls or ceilings. They also come with smart mounting brackets. These help keep the screen steady and aligned. The motor is hidden inside the roller, so it doesn’t look messy.
You don’t need to worry about noise either. Even the XL model runs quietly so that you can use it during meetings or shows without any buzzing sound.
Think About the Room, Then Pick the Screen
Here’s the easiest way to decide:
- Small to medium room? Go with the Draper Targa Screen.
- Large or wide room with many people? Pick Draper Targa XL.
Both are strong and long-lasting and look neat. It all comes down to how big your space is and how many people you need to show the screen to.

Big room? Go XL. Small room? Regular works fine.
Either way, a Draper projector screen is a smart, strong, and stylish choice.
