What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Draper Acumen E screen for its superior performance and remarkably quiet operation.

While the premium price represents a significant investment, the build quality and reliable, whisper quiet performance solidify its status as a benchmark product for dedicated home theater enthusiasts seeking reference quality.
Know before you buy
The Contrast Grey surface is specifically engineered to handle ambient light by boosting black levels and color depth. While it performs significantly better than a standard white screen in lit rooms, it is still best suited for spaces where you can manage direct light sources.
Yes, the screen material is fully compatible with 4K UHD projection. Its smooth surface ensures that the high pixel density of 4K content is rendered clearly without texture interference.
The Acumen E uses a specialized quiet motor designed to minimize noise during deployment and retraction. It is engineered for home theater environments where you want the mechanics of the screen to remain unobtrusive.
A 180-degree viewing cone means that the image quality, brightness, and color accuracy remain consistent regardless of where you are sitting. This is particularly useful for wide seating arrangements where viewers on the far left or right might otherwise see a washed-out image.
Because this is a motorized electric unit that requires a 110V power connection and secure mounting, professional installation is recommended. The below-ceiling mount design provides a clean, integrated look, but it must be leveled and wired correctly to function as intended.
This certification indicates that the screen material has been rigorously tested to meet strict standards for low chemical emissions. It ensures that the product contributes to healthier indoor air quality, which is an important consideration for enclosed home theater spaces.
