The Splendid Screen is a secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is an iron shield with four knobs in the cardinal directions, and a large boss in the middle.
Compared to the Chargin' Targe, this weapon provides 60% less fire resistance, and 62.5% less explosive resistance. However, its charge ability is more potent; there is no minimum distance required to deliver damage with a shield bash, and a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage.
Contents
Damage
Alternate fire initiates a charge attack, which deals damage on its own, or may be used in conjunction with another weapon.
- Charge Damage: 85 (if shield connects with enemy) + 17 per head (up to 5 heads).
- The shield damage is affected by weapon damage spread, it is not a constant number.
- Charge Speed: 750 Hammer units/sec (Approximately 2.5 times faster than 'Base' Speed).
- Charge Speed: 638 Hammer units/sec with Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped (Approximately 2.1 times faster than 'Base' Speed).
Function times
- Charge Interval: 12 seconds
- Charge Interval: 6 seconds with the Persian Persuader equipped
Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Bugs
- When viewing a replay, if there was a player with the Splendid Screen on the replay,the replay editor won't start and say an error saying GetDynamicBaseline: FindStringIndex(238-CTFWearableDemoShield) has failed.
- When a Spy disguises as a Demoman equipped with the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen, or Ali Baba's Wee Booties by way of the Disguise Kit or Your Eternal Reward, the Spy will often appear to carry the Grenade Launcher or Sticky Bomb Launcher with the aforementioned items active.
