Know before you buy
The tensioning system applies consistent horizontal and vertical pull across the screen material. This prevents the edges from curling over time and eliminates waves or wrinkles, ensuring your projected image remains perfectly flat and distortion-free.
Because this is a ceiling-recessed unit, it requires cutting into your ceiling and potentially working with electrical wiring. We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure the case is securely mounted and the motorized components are wired correctly.
A 1.3 gain means the screen reflects 30% more light than a standard matte white surface, which helps boost brightness. This is particularly useful if your room has some ambient light or if you are using a projector with lower lumen output.
The closure door is designed to hide the screen completely when it is retracted into the ceiling. It provides a clean, flush finish that keeps the screen protected from dust and maintains a minimalist look in your room when not in use.
This model features a 12V trigger, which allows the screen to automatically lower or retract when you turn your projector on or off. It is a convenient, hands-free way to integrate the screen into your existing home theater setup.
Yes, the 150-degree viewing angle is quite broad, meaning the image quality and brightness will remain consistent even for viewers sitting far off to the side. It is an excellent choice for larger rooms or theaters with multiple rows of seating.
