Know before you buy
No, this screen is specifically engineered for Ultra-Short Throw (UST) projectors. The CLR/ALR material uses a specialized optical structure that only reflects light from the steep angle of a UST projector, so it will not produce a clear image with a standard projector.
Yes, the tab-tension system applies consistent lateral tension across the material to pull it taut. This prevents the edges from curling or waving over time, ensuring a perfectly flat surface for your projected image.
The CLR (Ceiling Light Rejecting) material is designed to absorb ambient light from above while reflecting the projector's light directly toward your eyes. It significantly improves contrast and color saturation in bright rooms, though it works best when you can still control direct sunlight.
Yes, the Starling Tab-Tension CLR 3 is designed for versatile installation and includes hardware for both wall and ceiling mounting. Its sleek white casing allows it to blend into most modern media room aesthetics regardless of the mounting surface.
The motorized operation provides a smoother, more consistent deployment that protects the screen material from uneven handling. It also allows for a cleaner, more integrated look, as you can easily retract the screen into its casing when it is not in use.
