Know before you buy

CineWhite is a matte white material designed for rooms with controlled lighting. It performs best in dark environments where you can manage light reflections to maintain contrast and color accuracy.
The screen features a split-frame aluminum design that is lightweight and straightforward to assemble. While the size is substantial, the modular components are engineered for a clear, step-by-step installation process.
Yes, the CineWhite material is fully compatible with 4K Ultra HD and HDR projectors. Its surface texture is fine enough to resolve high-definition detail without introducing unwanted artifacts.
Yes, this model supports an optional LED backlight kit. This can be added to the rear of the frame to create a subtle glow against the wall, further enhancing the screen's modern aesthetic.
Permanent tensioning ensures the screen material remains perfectly flat and taut at all times. This prevents the waves or ripples that can occur with pull-down screens, ensuring a consistent, distortion-free image.
