Know before you buy
The Advantage Electrol is specifically designed for recessed ceiling installations, ideally during the rough-in construction phase. While it can be installed in finished ceilings, it requires significant access to the ceiling cavity to accommodate the case and integrated trim.
The Matte White surface features a 1.0 gain, which provides a neutral, uniform reflection. It performs best in rooms where you have full control over ambient light, such as dedicated home theaters or conference rooms with blackout shades.
Yes, the screen includes a standard Low Voltage Control (LVC) system and a Decora-style, three-button wall switch. You will need to provide the necessary low-voltage wiring to connect the switch to the screen's control unit.
The Matte White fabric is both flame-retardant and mildew-resistant, making it durable for long-term use. You can clean the surface by gently wiping it with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
Smooth Roll Technology is engineered to prevent the fabric from developing waves or wrinkles over time. It ensures the screen remains perfectly flat when fully extended, which is essential for maintaining image integrity on a screen of this size.
While the screen is officially rated for 1080p resolution, the Matte White surface is a high-quality, neutral material that will work with 4K projectors. However, because it is a standard gain surface, it does not offer the specific optical enhancements found in specialized 4K-ready or ambient light-rejecting materials.
