Know before you buy
Tab-tensioning uses a system of strings and weights to pull the screen material taut from the sides. This prevents the edges from curling over time, ensuring the surface remains perfectly flat for a distortion-free image.
The CineFlex CH1200V surface has a gain of 1.2, which is designed to provide a balanced, neutral image. While it performs best in a controlled lighting environment, the gain helps maintain brightness, though it is not specifically a high-contrast ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen.
Yes, the Acumen XL V is designed for versatility and supports both wall and ceiling mounting. It includes floating brackets that allow you to adjust the horizontal position during installation for a precise fit.
This aspect ratio is designed for widescreen cinematic content, matching the format used by most major motion pictures. It allows you to watch films in their native format without the distracting black bars typically seen on standard 16:9 screens.
The housing features a removable fascia, which allows you to access the motor and internal components without having to take the entire screen down from the wall or ceiling.
The screen comes standard with a low-voltage controller and a wall switch. If you prefer wireless operation, you would need to integrate a third-party control system or an optional wireless remote kit.
