Know before you buy
No, this is a floor-rising model designed for flexibility. It sits directly on the floor or a media console, meaning you do not need to drill holes or mount anything to your walls or floor.
Yes, this screen is fully compatible with Ultra-Short Throw, Short Throw, and Standard Throw projectors. The tab-tensioned surface ensures the screen remains flat, which is particularly important for maintaining image geometry with UST projectors.
The screen includes a wireless 12v trigger. When plugged into your projector's trigger output, the screen will automatically rise when you turn the projector on and retract when you turn it off.
ISF certification indicates that the screen material has been tested and verified to provide accurate color reproduction. This ensures that the colors you see on the screen are as close as possible to the source material, without unwanted color shifts.
The CineWhite 1.1 gain material is designed for controlled lighting environments, such as a dedicated home theater or a room where you can manage light levels. If you are planning to use this in a room with significant natural light, you may want to consider a specialized ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen instead.
You have two manual control options included in the box: an infrared (IR) remote and a radio frequency (RF) remote. The RF remote is particularly convenient because it does not require a direct line of sight to the screen's receiver.
