D&D 5E What is the deference between the Deluxe DM screen and the regular DM screen?

Hi-
I was on ebay and am in the market for a DM's screen and noticed there are two types, deluxe version and a regular version. What is the deference? Should I even buy it?

thanks

The buyer's gullibility?

I searched on Amazon for the "deluxe DM screen," and all I found was the 4th edition screen. If you're playing 5th edition,then you definitely don't want that one.

That's what I was going to say. 4E has both a regular screen and a deluxe screen (no idea the difference). I only know this because I've been working on my collectors sheet of all things D&D.

Thanks for the replies guys, I went ahead and just made my own DM screen.

The original screen was thin card stock. Like the cover of a softcover book. The deluxe screen was a much thicker card stock, like a board game board.

I'll always, always recommend building your own custom GM screen. This is the one I've been using for the last 3-4 years, and it's friggin' awesome. Especially since it costs less than five bucks at Wally World.

I...really like that!

How do you decide what to put on the sheets? And making the sheets must be a lot of work, though.

If one is "Deluxe" I would doubt it has any deference to the lowly ""normal" one.

I just re-purpose old discount GM screens that I find at hobby stores. Most have a few from older or maybe just crappy games that didn't take off for cheap. Just print out your panels on 8x10 shipping labels and slap them on the inner faces. I did try that binder screen years ago, but it doesn't work as well (for me) as it first seemed. For example, turning pages to get to other "screens" means having to clear the area in front of you (probably where your dice and notes/etc are) first, or else you start scattering crap around. I also felt like the ability to include the extra pages resulted in attempting to fit extra stuff in there "just in case." It didn't take long to realize I could just flip through the actual book for the information much faster than tabbing around the binder pages.
