Know before you buy
The tensioning system is designed to keep the fabric surface perfectly flat and taut. This prevents the edges from curling over time, which is essential for maintaining a sharp, undistorted image across the entire display area.
The 16:10 aspect ratio is slightly taller than the standard 16:9 widescreen format used for most movies. While it works well for modern presentations and computer-based content, you may see thin black bars at the top and bottom when viewing traditional 16:9 cinematic media.
Yes, due to the motorized components and the secure Contour mounting system, professional installation is recommended. You will need to ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the unit and that there is a proper electrical connection for the motor.
The screen features an integrated electric motor that allows you to lower or retract the surface with the push of a button. This provides a clean, minimalist look when the screen is not in use, as it hides away neatly into its housing.
This screen is designed for standard video projectors. However, you should verify that your projector's throw distance and brightness output are compatible with a 164-inch diagonal surface to ensure the best image quality.
