Know before you buy
SightLine replaces the traditional black border at the top of the screen with thin cables, creating a 'floating' effect. This allows you to adjust the vertical position of the screen by up to 70 inches, making it easier to clear obstacles like speakers or cameras while maintaining a clean, architectural look.
Yes, the High Contrast Matte White surface is designed for environments with moderate ambient light. It features a 1.1 gain, which helps improve black levels and overall contrast compared to standard matte white surfaces.
The two-stage design allows you to install the screen case during the initial construction phase and add the actual screen surface later. This protects the screen material from dust, debris, and potential damage while other work is being completed in the room.
Yes, the screen includes a standard low voltage control (LVC) interface. This allows it to be integrated with most third-party control systems or wall switches for seamless operation.
Yes, the case is UL Plenum rated, meaning it is approved for installation in the air-handling space above a drop ceiling. This ensures the unit meets necessary fire and safety standards for commercial and professional environments.
The screen provides a 184-inch diagonal viewing area, measuring 90 inches high by 160 inches wide with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Ensure your ceiling space can accommodate the full width of the housing before installation.
