Know before you buy
The Slate AT 1.2 material is perforated with tiny, invisible holes that allow sound to pass through the screen without muffling. This lets you place your speakers directly behind the screen for a more immersive, theater-like audio experience where the sound comes straight from the image.
The Slate 1.2 material is specifically engineered for ambient light rejection. It filters out off-axis light, allowing the screen to maintain high contrast and deep black levels even in rooms that aren't completely pitch black.
The ultra-thin bezel is designed to disappear into the background. Because it is so slim and finished in black velvet, it minimizes light reflection and creates a 'floating' image effect that keeps your focus entirely on the content.
Yes, the surface is designed to be future-proof. It is fully compatible with both 4K and 8K resolution projectors, ensuring you won't need to replace the screen if you upgrade your hardware later.
The ambient backlighting is an optional add-on for the Zero Edge series. If you choose to include it, it is integrated into the frame design to provide a soft glow behind the screen, which helps reduce eye strain and adds a premium aesthetic to your setup.
A 1.2 gain means the screen is slightly reflective, which helps boost the brightness of your projected image. This is particularly useful for balancing out the light-absorbing properties of ambient light rejecting materials, ensuring your picture remains vibrant.
