What customers say
This professional grade screen earns high praise for delivering unparalleled image performance. The key feature is the superior tensioning system, which guarantees a perfectly flat viewing surface essential for sharp, distortion-free 4K and 8K content. Users appreciate the smooth, quiet motor operation and robust build quality. While installation can be complex, the resulting reliability and aesthetic integration into dedicated spaces are highly valued. Although the premium price limits casual buyers, serious enthusiasts confirm the exceptional quality and longevity justify the investment. Satisfaction centers on achieving a truly reference quality cinematic image.
Know before you buy
The tensioning system applies constant lateral force to the screen fabric, ensuring it remains perfectly flat. This prevents the curling or waves that can occur on non-tensioned motorized screens, which is essential for maintaining a distortion-free image.
The 16:10 aspect ratio is primarily designed for professional data and presentation use, providing extra vertical space compared to the standard 16:9 widescreen format. While you can certainly watch movies on it, you will see thin black bars at the top and bottom of the image.
Yes, the screen comes standard with a wall switch, but it is compatible with various optional control upgrades. You can integrate third-party remote controls or a video projector interface to trigger the screen automatically when your projector turns on.
The screen has a width of 160 inches and a height of 100 inches. With a diagonal measurement of approximately 188.68 inches, it is a large-format display suited for spacious conference rooms or dedicated home theaters.
Because this is a motorized, large-format screen, professional installation is highly recommended. You will need to ensure the mounting surface can support the weight of the housing and that the electrical wiring is handled according to local building codes.
