Know before you buy
The EDGE FREE design eliminates the traditional thick outer frame, allowing the screen material to wrap around the back of the frame. This creates a sleek, minimalist look that resembles a large flat-panel television rather than a traditional projector screen.
CineWhite is a matte white material designed for rooms where you can control the lighting. While it offers a neutral 1.1 gain and excellent color reproduction, it performs best in dark environments; if you have significant ambient light, you may want to consider an ambient light-rejecting (ALR) material instead.
The 2.35:1 Cinemascope ratio is designed to match the native format of most widescreen films, allowing you to watch movies without the black bars typically seen on standard 16:9 screens. However, if you watch standard television content, you will see vertical black bars on the sides of the image.
The split-frame design is engineered to be user-friendly, utilizing a lightweight aluminum structure that is easier to handle than solid, single-piece frames. Most users find that with a second person to assist, the assembly and tensioning process is straightforward.
Yes, the screen includes adjustable wall mount brackets. These allow you to slide the frame horizontally after installation, ensuring you can perfectly center the screen with your projector's throw path.
Yes, the CineWhite material is fully compatible with 4K Ultra HD and HDR content. It is designed to maintain the integrity of high-resolution images and the dynamic range required for HDR projection.
