Elgato Green Screen Review: Simply the best

The Elgato Green Screen is the only green screen streamers will need.

When it comes to streaming, production quality could make or break a streamer. That is why the quality of equipment used for streaming is essential. This doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank and buy the top of the line equipment. It does mean that investing in the right streaming gear is key. The Elgato Green Screen is just one of those pieces.

Already I have done articles on the Elgato Stream Deck and Elgato HD60 Pro Capture Card so it would only make sense to review the Elgato Green Screen.

I personally use the Green Screen for my own Twitch Streams. Before I started using it though I was using a whole setup that included 2 poles, a cross beam and of course, the green screen. The problem with this was the setup. Because of where my gaming station is in my home I had to constantly set it up and then break it down. This took me about 15 minutes each time and was a hassle. So I started looking into alternatives. That is where the Elgato Green Screen comes in.

Elgato Green Screen Overview

The Elgato Green Screen is simple in design. Remember in school, the projector screens that pulled down? Well, it’s just like those. Except, instead of pulling down, you pull the green screen up. The Elgato Green Scree is 58.27 inches wide and 70.87 inches high expanded, 4.53 inches collapsed. The casing is a light aluminum material and has a carry handle. This makes storing it a breeze.

When the Elgato Green Screen is fully extended it is supported with an X Frame and two feet to prevent it from falling. This ensures a sturdy green screen to help with top quality stream production. The green screen material is a premium quality and wrinkle resistant. Because of this, you spend less time setting up your chroma key and more time streaming.

The Elgato Green Screen size makes it ideal for all size workspaces. From big or small, the option to stash away the green screen is probably one of the most appealing features. With so many streamers out there that use their bedrooms as their gaming space, the Elgato Green Screen is the perfect candidate for a quick setup. No more fiddling around with stands, ironing sheets or even painting walls. The Green Screen is the solution to all of those dilemmas.

Elgato Green Screen Setup

To set up the Elgato Green Screen is simple. It’s as easy as extending the feet, opening the casing and then pulling up the Green Screen. If you’re a one-person streaming operation you will have no problem with the setup unless you are vertically challenged. If that’s the case, you may need to step on a stool or chair to fully extend the Green Screen.

Once the Green Screen is extended you must get your lighting together. For this, the Elgato Green Screen has made it much easier than a traditional screen. All you need is just a little light shining on the screen and you are good to go. The quality of the Elgato Green Screen is so good that it absorbs and expands light so well that you could get away with just a ring light on your desk. If you have a more elaborate light setup like a 3 point, the outcome is even better.

Elgato Green Screen Conclusion

If you have been looking into getting a green screen but have been unsure of how much or how little to spend, setup, or even quality then look no further. At only $150, the Elgato Green Screen is an investment that will last you a long time. The quality is premium and even though the cost is a little steep for a green screen, all the features make up for it.
