What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Elite Screens Evanesce Tab-Tension for its exceptional image quality, driven by the proprietary CineGrey 5D material. Reviewers consistently highlight its superior Ambient Light Rejecting capabilities, noting dramatic improvements in contrast and black levels, making daytime viewing truly cinematic. The robust tab-tensioning system is highly valued for ensuring a perfectly flat surface crucial for 4K and HDR content. Motorized operation is smooth and reliable. While the initial investment is significant, users feel the transformative performance in non-dedicated rooms justifies the premium cost, establishing this screen as a top-tier home cinema component.
Know before you buy
Tab-tensioning uses a system of strings on the sides of the screen to pull the material taut. This prevents the edges from curling over time and ensures the surface remains perfectly flat, which is essential for avoiding image distortion.
Yes, the CineGrey 5D material is specifically engineered for ambient light rejection. It reflects the projector's light toward your eyes while absorbing light from other sources, allowing for high-contrast images even in rooms that aren't completely dark.
The screen housing is designed to be recessed directly into your ceiling joists, creating a flush, hidden look when the screen is retracted. You will need to ensure you have sufficient clearance in your ceiling cavity to accommodate the housing dimensions before installation.
The screen includes a standard motorized control system. Depending on your specific setup, it can typically be integrated with universal remote systems or smart home controllers via the provided trigger or IR/RF remotes.
A 126-inch screen is quite large and generally requires a viewing distance of at least 12 to 15 feet to feel comfortable. We recommend measuring your wall space and seating distance to ensure the screen size doesn't overwhelm your field of view.
The high-contrast grey surface is designed to boost black levels and contrast, which can make colors appear more vibrant. While it is excellent for movies and gaming, it is optimized for performance in lit environments rather than for professional color-grading work.
