What customers say
Customers highly value the Elite PFT100H-DST screen for maximizing Ultra Short Throw projector performance, especially in bright rooms.

Know before you buy
No, this screen is specifically engineered for ultra-short throw (UST) projectors. The DarkUST material uses a micro-serrated optical structure designed to reflect light from below, so using a standard projector will result in a poor image.
The material is designed to absorb up to 95% of overhead ambient light. While it significantly improves contrast and color saturation compared to a standard matte white screen, it is most effective when direct light sources are not shining directly onto the screen surface.
The EDGE FREE design means the screen material wraps around the frame, eliminating the thick, traditional border found on most projection screens. This gives the unit a slim, modern aesthetic that mimics the look of a flat-panel television.
Yes, the Elite PFT100H-DST includes the necessary hardware for a secure wall mount. It also comes with an LED backlight kit and remote to add a custom glow behind the frame.
Yes, the surface is 4K and 8K Ultra HD ready. Its optical structure is designed to maintain high resolution and sharpness, ensuring your high-definition content remains crisp.
A 0.5 gain is standard for high-contrast grey screens. It helps deepen black levels and improve contrast in rooms where you cannot fully control the ambient light, which is essential for achieving a 'TV-like' picture quality.
