Know before you buy
The tab-tension system uses weighted side cords to pull the screen material taut. This prevents the edges from curling over time and eliminates waves or ripples, ensuring your image remains perfectly flat and distortion-free.
Yes, the CineGrey 5D material is specifically designed to reject ambient light. It reflects your projector's light back to your eyes while absorbing light from other sources, which helps maintain contrast and color saturation in rooms that aren't completely dark.
The screen housing is designed to be mounted inside your ceiling joists, allowing the unit to sit flush with the ceiling surface. When retracted, only a thin trim remains visible, making the screen virtually disappear when not in use.
The Evanesce Tab-Tension B includes a standard infrared and radio frequency remote control. While it is designed for simple push-button operation, you may need additional third-party controllers or triggers if you intend to integrate it into a complex automated smart home system.
You need to ensure there is adequate clearance within your ceiling cavity to accommodate the housing unit. It is highly recommended to consult with a professional installer to verify your ceiling structure and electrical access before purchasing.
The 16:9 aspect ratio is the standard format for HDTV, Blu-ray, and most modern streaming content. This screen is optimized to display that widescreen content without black bars, providing a true cinematic experience for movies and gaming.
