Its important to check this before purchasing if buying from overseas sites as it increases prices significantly and return shipping can be extremely expensive.
Which screen should you choose?
The first thing to note is its very important you choose the correct model to fit your projector's throw distance and decide whether you need either:
a) ultra short throw (only works with UST projectors)
b) standard / short throw / long throw (these are grouped together into one category)
c) floor rising or ceiling pull down
Most of the Vividstorm screens are tab tensioned and also come with ambient light rejection (ALR) and range in size up to 150" or even 180" (subject to order).
All Vividstorm screens are electric and can be controlled via a remote.
Its important to note that when VividStorm refer to 'pull down' they mean electric pull down.
Below is a table with a quick overview of which VividStorm screen is suited to each projector type.
1. 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.
| Screen Name | Screen Type | Material | Gain | View Angle | Proj. Comp. | Brightness Req. | Proj. Position | Sound Trans. | Borders | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S PRO Acoustic | Floor Rising | ALR | 0.6 | 170° | UST | - | Floor/ Table | Yes | Yes | 84" - 130" |
| S Pro | Floor Rising | ALR | 0.6 | 170° | UST | - | Floor/ Table | No | Yes | 84" - 130" |

Alternatively, 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 or make holes in walls for installation. Simply place a floor rising screen on the floor / table and it is plug and play from there, no redecorating, drilling, etc. needed.
