Know before you buy
Yes. The Parallax screen features advanced ambient light-rejecting technology specifically designed to maintain high contrast and image clarity in bright environments, effectively mimicking the performance of a television.
Yes, the screen is optimized to work with both standard throw and ultra-short throw projectors. You should ensure your specific projector model is calibrated for the screen's 0.8 gain to achieve the best results.
The Pro-Trim finish is a specialized fabric wrap that absorbs light surrounding the screen. This prevents light reflection off the frame, ensuring your focus stays entirely on the projected image.
The screen is versatile and supports several common aspect ratios, including 16:9, 16:10, 2.35:1, and 21:9. This makes it a flexible choice for various professional AV setups and content types.
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.
This system works by selectively reflecting light from the projector toward the viewer while absorbing light from other directions. This process eliminates glare and speckle, resulting in a sharper, more television-like image.
