Know before you buy
This specific model is designed exclusively for rear projection using the CineFlex CH1200V surface. It is not suitable for standard front-projection setups.
Tab-tensioning uses a system of cables to pull the sides of the screen taut, preventing the edges from curling over time. This ensures the surface remains perfectly flat for a distortion-free image.
The removable front panel allows you to access the internal motor and roller assembly without having to take the entire housing down from the wall or ceiling. This makes servicing or adjustments significantly easier.
Yes, the floating mounting brackets are versatile enough to support both wall and ceiling installations, providing flexibility depending on your room layout.
The screen comes with a low-voltage controller and a standard wall switch. This setup provides a reliable, hardwired way to operate the motorized screen.
A gain of 1.2 indicates that the screen reflects slightly more light than a standard matte white surface, which helps boost image brightness. This is particularly useful in environments where you need to maintain contrast in rear-projection applications.
