What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Elite PFT100HD5 screen, focusing on its exceptional image quality in rooms with ambient light. The CineGrey 5D material significantly boosts contrast and color saturation, making the picture rival high-end displays even with lights on.

Know before you buy
The CineGrey 5D is an Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) material designed specifically for rooms where you cannot fully control the lighting. It uses an angular reflective surface to bounce projector light toward the viewer while rejecting off-axis ambient light, which helps maintain contrast and black levels in brighter environments.
Yes, this screen is designed for standard throw projectors. Because it uses angular reflective technology, it is best paired with projectors that have a throw ratio of 1.5 or greater to ensure the light reflects properly toward your seating area.
The EDGE FREE design eliminates the traditional thick frame, resulting in an ultra-thin bezel that mimics the look of a flat-panel television. This provides a clean, modern aesthetic that integrates more seamlessly into contemporary living spaces.
Yes, the kit includes the aluminum split-frame, the spring-tensioned screen material, and a wall-mount kit. It also comes with an LED back-lighting kit to further enhance the visual experience.
Absolutely. The CineGrey 5D material is ISF Certified, meaning it is engineered to maintain color accuracy and high-contrast performance, making it fully capable of handling the demands of 4K/8K Ultra HD and HDR content.
The screen requires assembly, which involves attaching the material to the frame using the included tension springs. While it requires a bit of patience to ensure the surface is perfectly taut, the process is straightforward and results in a flat, wrinkle-free viewing area.
