Know before you buy

This model is designed specifically for standard throw projectors. It features an HD Progressive 1.1 surface, which is optimized for high-definition content and provides a neutral gain for accurate color reproduction.
The Tensioned Advantage Electrol system uses a tab-tensioning method to pull the screen fabric taut from the sides. This ensures the surface remains perfectly flat and free of wrinkles or waves, which is essential for high-quality image projection.
Yes, this unit is equipped with a 12V trigger control method. This allows your projector or home automation system to automatically lower or retract the screen whenever the projector is powered on or off.
