Know before you buy
No, the StarBright CLR 16 surface is specifically engineered for ultra-short throw (UST) projectors. Using a standard long-throw projector will not produce the intended contrast or ambient light rejection benefits.
The CLR 16 material features a specialized optical structure that reflects light from the projector toward the viewer while absorbing light coming from overhead sources. This significantly boosts contrast and color saturation in rooms where you cannot fully control the lighting.
The tab-tensioning system is designed to maintain a taut, flat surface automatically. Once properly assembled and mounted, it requires no ongoing adjustments to stay ripple-free.
Yes, the surface is optimized for high-resolution 4K and HDR content. It ensures that the fine details and dynamic range of modern high-end projectors are preserved without distortion.
The screen comes as a kit that requires assembly of the aluminum frame and attachment of the screen material. While it is designed for straightforward installation, it is a two-person job to ensure the frame is square and the material is tensioned correctly.
The screen is designed for standard wall mounting. You should ensure your wall structure can support the weight of the aluminum frame and that you use appropriate hardware for your specific wall material, such as drywall anchors or studs.
