Which screen is best for a Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector
If you own a UST projector or have decided that a UST projector would be the best fit for your setup there are a few Vividstorm screen options to choose from.
Both of the screens below offer Ambient Light Rejection (ALR) technology, this can efficiently reject 97% of ambient light to reduce the washout effect from other light in the room so you can enjoy stunning pictures even in the day time.
These screens also feature a wide 170° viewing angle so anyone in the room will be able to see screen and a 0.6 gain that gives a brighter image even in daylight.
- Vividstorm S Pro Electric Floor Rising ALR Screen
- VividStorm S PRO Electric Tension Floor Rising ALR Acoustic Screen
You could also use the Vividstorm Slimline Tension Pull Down White Cinema Screen which works for all types of projectors but doesn't feature ALR.
Which screen is best for a short / standard / long throw projector
If you own a short, standard or long throw projector, these Vividstorm screens are the best to choose from. These screens feature a 150° viewing angle, 0.8 gain and are a great discreet solution with ambient light rejection (ALR) technology for those brighter rooms.
Please note: these screens will not work for ultra short throw projectors (see above for UST screens). If you want ALR then your projector must have a minimum brightness of 2500 Ansi Lumens (this does not apply to the UST VividStorm models).
- VividStorm S Electric Tension Obsidian ALR Floor Rising Screen
- VividStorm S Electric Tension Obsidian Floor Rising ALR Acoustic Screen
- VividStorm Slimline Electric Tension Motorized Pull-Down Obsidian ALR Screen
- VividStorm Acoustic Perforated Long-throw Obsidian ALR Electric Wall / Ceiling Electric Screen
You could also use the Vividstorm Slimline Tension Pull Down White Cinema Screen which works for all types of projectors and at any brightness but doesn't feature ALR.
Looking for an ALR projector screen that doesn't require a minimum of 2500 Ansi Lumens? Take a look at the Celexon Dynamic Slate range. These models do not work with UST projectors.
Vividstorm screens are also perfect for those who are renting and unable to decorate due to certain rules. Simply place a floor rising screen on the floor / table and it is plug and play from there, no redecorating, drilling, etc. needed.
