Know before you buy
The tab-tension system pulls the sides of the screen taut to prevent curling or wrinkling over time. This ensures the projection surface remains perfectly flat, which is essential for maintaining image geometry and clarity.
While 16:10 is technically a computer-oriented format, it works well for movies. You will simply have thin black bars at the top and bottom when viewing standard 16:9 widescreen content, or you can use your projector's masking settings to adjust the image.
The 1.1 gain provides a neutral, balanced reflection that works best in rooms where you have good control over lighting. Because it is a matte white surface, it is designed for dark home theater environments rather than bright living rooms.
Due to the 165-inch size and the fixed frame design, this is a large, heavy unit that requires at least two people for a safe installation. We recommend having a professional or a skilled DIYer assist to ensure the frame is perfectly level and securely mounted.
The actual projection surface measures 87.5 inches in height by 140 inches in width. Ensure your wall space can accommodate these dimensions plus the additional width of the frame itself.
