Know before you buy
The tensioning system pulls the screen material taut across the frame to prevent waves, curls, or wrinkles. This ensures a perfectly flat surface, which is essential for maintaining image geometry and preventing distortion in high-definition content.
Yes, while the screen comes standard with a wall switch, it is compatible with optional IR and RF remote control kits. These upgrades allow you to operate the motor wirelessly from anywhere in the room.
No, this model is designed for permanent, fixed-frame installation. It is intended to be mounted securely to a wall or ceiling and is not equipped for frequent transport or temporary setups.
The 16:9 aspect ratio is the industry standard for HDTV and modern digital content. It is perfectly suited for most high-definition broadcasts, Blu-ray movies, and gaming consoles.
Because this is a large 90 x 160-inch motorized unit, you should ensure your wall or ceiling structure can support the weight of the housing. Additionally, verify that you have access to an electrical outlet near the installation point to power the motor.
