What customers say
The Elite Screens Sable Frame 2 Series delivers a truly cinematic experience, earning high praise for its quality and value. Reviewers consistently highlight the tensioning system for creating a perfectly flat surface essential for high definition. The black velvet frame is a standout feature, effectively absorbing light overshoot to boost perceived contrast and provide a professional aesthetic. While the final visual result is stunning, customers note that assembling and mounting this large 165-inch screen requires significant space and often two people due to its sheer scale. Despite the logistical challenge of setup, the consensus is that this screen offers premium performance comparable to much higher priced options, making it an exceptional investment for dedicated home theater enthusiasts.
Know before you buy
The CineWhite 1.1 gain material is designed for controlled lighting environments, such as a dedicated home theater. Because it is a matte white surface, it will perform best in a room where you can manage or dim the ambient light.
The screen itself measures 144 inches in width. You should account for the additional 2.4-inch velvet frame on all sides, bringing the total footprint to approximately 148.8 inches wide.
The Sable Frame 2 features a split-frame design and a rubber-edge border system that makes assembly straightforward. While one person can assemble it, having a second person to help mount the finished screen to the wall is highly recommended for safety and precision.
Yes, the mounting system includes a horizontal sliding adjustment feature. This allows you to shift the screen left or right after the brackets are installed, ensuring it is perfectly centered with your projector.
Absolutely. The CineWhite material is 4K Ultra HD ready, meaning the surface texture is fine enough to resolve the high pixel density of 4K content without adding unwanted artifacts or grain.
The velvet coating is functional rather than just aesthetic; it absorbs light overshoot from the projector. This prevents reflections off the frame, which helps maintain high contrast and keeps your focus entirely on the image.
