Know before you buy
Yes, the Acumen E features floating wall brackets that allow for both wall and ceiling mounting, providing flexibility depending on your room layout.
The XT1000E surface provides a neutral 1.0 gain, which ensures accurate color reproduction and a wide viewing angle. It is an ideal choice for rooms where you have good control over ambient light.
While the floating brackets are designed to simplify the installation process, the screen is a large-format unit. We recommend having at least two people assist with the mounting to ensure it is level and securely attached.
The screen comes standard with a low-voltage controller and a wall switch for reliable, quiet operation. It is designed for straightforward, manual control of the retraction and deployment.
The screen is optimized for 1080p resolution. While it will display 4K content, the surface material is specifically engineered to perform best with 1080p source material.
The white powder-coated aluminum housing is very low maintenance. You can keep it looking new by occasionally wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
