Know before you buy
No, this screen is specifically engineered for Ultra Short Throw (UST) projectors. Using it with a standard projector will result in poor image quality because the optical layers are designed to reflect light coming from a steep, downward angle.
The Parallax Pure surface uses a micro-layered optical system that effectively blocks light from above while reflecting the projector's light directly toward the viewer. This allows for high-contrast, vivid images even in rooms with significant ambient lighting.
The screen features a flexible surface that ships rolled, which simplifies transport and handling. While it requires assembly of the fixed frame and careful tensioning of the material, it is designed to be manageable for a standard wall-mount installation.
The Pro-Trim finish is a specialized black fabric that wraps the frame to absorb stray light. This prevents light reflection off the frame edges, which helps maintain deep black levels and improves the overall perceived contrast of your image.
The Parallax Pure surface is specifically engineered to eliminate the glare and speckle often found in lower-quality ALR screens. You can expect a smooth, uniform image that mimics the look of a flat-panel television.
Yes, the surface is fully compatible with 4K resolution. The optical structure is designed to maintain sharp detail and clarity, ensuring you get the full benefit of high-resolution projection.
