What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Screen Innovations Solo 3 for its massive scale and sophisticated technology, setting a benchmark for luxury home theaters. The Slate 1.2 material is the standout feature, providing exceptional Ambient Light Rejection for vibrant, high-contrast viewing even in bright rooms. Image quality earns high marks, rivaling flat panels with deep blacks and accurate colors. The motorized housing operates reliably and quietly, blending seamlessly into modern spaces. A key differentiator is the acoustically transparent feature, which preserves pristine sound quality with speakers placed behind the screen. While the substantial investment places it firmly in the luxury category, satisfaction is deep for those demanding the absolute best performance.
Know before you buy
Acoustically transparent material allows sound to pass through the screen without significant muffling. This means you can place your front speakers directly behind the screen for a more immersive, authentic cinematic experience where the audio appears to originate from the image itself.
The CNC Tab Tensioning system pulls the screen material taut from the sides, preventing the curling or waves that often occur with non-tensioned motorized screens. This ensures your image remains perfectly flat, which is essential for maintaining geometric accuracy and sharpness, especially with 4K and 8K content.
Yes, while this screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio, it is fully compatible with 16:9 projectors. You will simply have a small amount of unused screen space at the top or bottom, which can be masked by your projector's settings or the screen's drop adjustment.
The Slate 1.2 surface is a gray-based material designed to improve contrast and black levels in rooms with some ambient light. The 1.2 gain provides a slight boost in brightness, helping the image pop without sacrificing the color accuracy needed for high-resolution projection.
The Solo 3 offers flexibility by supporting both standard AC power and low-voltage DC options. This allows for easier installation depending on your room's existing electrical infrastructure and your preference for control integration.
The Moab control board is designed for intuitive management of your screen's deployment and retraction. It simplifies the integration process, allowing you to easily sync the screen with your existing home theater control system.
