Know before you buy
The tab-tension system pulls the sides of the screen taut, preventing the curling or waves that often occur with standard retractable screens. This ensures a perfectly flat surface, which is essential for maintaining a distortion-free image.
Yes, the CineWhite material is compatible with standard, short-throw, and ultra-short-throw projectors. The tensioned surface ensures that the image remains flat, which is particularly important for short-throw projectors where any surface imperfection is easily magnified.
The 12v trigger allows the screen to automatically lower when you turn on your projector and retract when you turn it off. You will need to connect the provided trigger cable between the projector's 12v output and the screen's control box.
Yes, the CineWhite surface is durable and can be cleaned easily. You can wipe it down with a soft cloth using mild soap and water to remove dust or light smudges.
The screen includes hardware for flush wall or ceiling mounting. However, you should ensure your mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the unit and that you have the appropriate fasteners for your specific wall or ceiling material, such as drywall anchors or wood screws.
The 4-sided black borders are designed to frame your projected image, which significantly improves perceived contrast and focus. By absorbing light spill, they help the image pop against the screen surface.
