What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Da-Lite Parallax screen for its exceptional ambient light rejection. Reviewers consistently note its ability to deliver high-quality projection and deep black levels even in bright rooms, achieving a near television image quality. The robust, professional build quality further reinforces a sense of long-term durability.

Despite minor limitations in viewing angles under specific lighting, the screen is viewed as a necessary, high-performance solution for demanding environments.
Know before you buy
No, the Parallax Pure UST 0.45 surface is specifically engineered for ultra-short-throw projectors. Using a standard-throw projector will result in poor image quality and uneven brightness.
This screen is designed to excel in bright environments. Its micro-layered optical lens system actively rejects off-axis light, allowing it to maintain high contrast and deep black levels even when ambient light is present.
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 of cinematic content, this ratio is excellent for professional presentations and PC-based gaming.
The Pro-Trim finish is a black, light-absorbing fabric that covers the frame. It prevents stray light from reflecting off the border, which helps maintain a high-contrast, glare-free viewing experience.
No, this screen is not acoustically transparent. You should plan to place your speakers either below or to the sides of the screen, rather than behind it.
The Parallax Pure UST 0.45 surface is engineered to be speckle-free. You can expect a smooth, uniform image that is free from the distracting grain often found in lower-quality ambient light rejecting screens.
