What customers say
This premium projection screen earns high praise for its exceptional image quality, delivering vibrant colors and deep contrast thanks to the specialized material. A key feature users appreciate is the effective tensioning system, which ensures a perfectly flat viewing surface essential for high definition. The motorized function is consistently noted as smooth, quiet, and reliable, reflecting superior build quality. While the screen offers a professional grade viewing experience that satisfies serious enthusiasts, potential buyers should note the significant investment required. Furthermore, its robust design often makes installation complex, sometimes necessitating professional help. Overall, the quality generally justifies the cost for dedicated home theater users.
Know before you buy
The tensioning system uses side cables to pull the screen material taut, preventing the curling or waves that often develop on non-tensioned motorized screens. This ensures your projected image remains perfectly flat and distortion-free, which is essential for high-resolution 4K content.
Yes, the Advantage Electrol series is designed for versatile installation and can be mounted to either a wall or a ceiling. You will need to ensure your mounting surface can support the weight of the motorized housing.
A 1.0 gain is considered neutral, meaning it reflects the same amount of light that hits the screen without artificially brightening or dimming the image. This provides a natural, accurate color reproduction and a wide viewing angle, making it ideal for rooms with controlled lighting.
Yes, the Matte White surface is compatible with 4K UHD resolution. Because the tensioning system keeps the surface perfectly flat, it maintains the pixel-perfect sharpness required for high-definition projection.
The screen features a 116-inch diagonal viewing area measuring 58 by 104 inches. Keep in mind that the motorized case will be slightly wider than the screen fabric itself, so you should account for the full housing dimensions when measuring your wall or ceiling space.
