Know before you buy
The NanoPerf XT800V surface is acoustically transparent, meaning you can place your speakers directly behind the screen. This allows for a more immersive experience where the sound appears to emanate directly from the image.
The 16:10 aspect ratio is slightly taller than the standard 16:9 widescreen format used for most movies. While you will see thin black bars at the top and bottom when watching standard content, this format is excellent for data presentations or gaming setups that utilize the extra vertical space.
The fixed frame design utilizes a specialized tensioning system that pulls the material taut across the entire surface. This prevents the sagging or curling often found in non-tensioned screens, ensuring a perfectly flat image.
Because this is a fixed-frame screen, it requires mounting to a wall surface. While a handy DIYer can manage the installation, the 123-inch size makes it a two-person job to ensure the frame is level and securely attached.
The Matte White surface is best suited for dedicated home theater rooms with controlled lighting. If you have a room with significant windows or light sources, you may experience washed-out colors, as this surface is designed to reflect light evenly rather than reject ambient glare.
