What customers say
Customers consistently praise the exceptional image quality and flatness delivered by this projection screen, highlighting its superior material construction that prevents ripples and waves. Many appreciate the smooth, quiet operation of the motorized mechanism, which contributes to a premium viewing experience and suggests long term reliability. While the initial investment is significant, users generally feel the product's robust build and consistent performance justify the cost, making it a highly regarded choice for dedicated home theaters and professional installations.
Know before you buy
The tensioning system applies constant horizontal and vertical pull on the screen fabric. This prevents the edges from curling over time and eliminates waves or wrinkles, ensuring a perfectly flat surface for a distortion-free image.
While the mounting hardware supports both wall and ceiling installations, the screen is heavy and requires electrical wiring for the 220V motor. We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure it is securely mounted and correctly wired to your power source.
The 16:10 ratio is slightly taller than the standard 16:9 widescreen format used for most movies and television. While you will see thin black bars at the top and bottom of your content, this format is excellent for business presentations or users who prefer a bit more vertical screen space.
This model is designed for hardwired operation. You will typically need to integrate it with a wall switch or an external control system compatible with the 220V motor.
No, this is a fixed-installation screen. It is designed to be permanently mounted to a wall or ceiling and is not meant to be moved or transported once installed.
Measure your available wall or ceiling space carefully, keeping in mind the 160-inch width of the housing. You should also confirm that you have access to a 220V power supply in the specific location where you intend to mount the unit.
