Know before you buy
Tab-tensioning uses a system of strings on the sides of the screen to pull the fabric taut. This prevents the edges from curling over time and ensures the surface remains perfectly flat, which is essential for maintaining a sharp, distortion-free image.
With a screen gain of 0.7, this model is designed for rooms where you have good control over lighting. It performs best in darker environments; if your room has significant windows or bright lights, you may notice a reduction in contrast.
While the mounting process is straightforward for those comfortable with DIY projects, it is a heavy, motorized unit that requires secure anchoring to your ceiling. We recommend professional installation to ensure the screen is perfectly level and the electrical connections are handled safely.
This model includes a 12V trigger, which allows it to communicate directly with your projector. When the projector powers on, it sends a signal to the screen to deploy automatically, eliminating the need for a separate remote control.
Yes, the CineFlex White XT700V surface is compatible with short-throw projectors. The tab-tensioning is particularly beneficial here, as it prevents even minor ripples that can be highly visible when using the steep projection angles common with short-throw units.
The Acumen Recharge V uses a specialized quiet motor designed to minimize noise. While it is not completely silent, it operates at a low decibel level that won't distract from your movie or presentation.
