Projector Screens

Projector screens transform any room into a true viewing space, delivering crisp detail, richer contrast, and accurate color that a painted wall can’t match. Whether you’re building a home theater, hosting outdoor movie nights, leading conference room presentations, or enhancing classroom lessons, the right screen maximizes your projector’s performance. From 4K and 8K readiness to wide viewing angles for group seating, today’s screens help movies, sports, and games look their best while keeping setup tidy and repeatable.

Choose the format that fits your space: a fixed-frame projector screen for dedicated theaters, a motorized projector screen or manual pull-down for a clean, retractable look, or a portable projector screen for travel and multipurpose rooms. For bright living rooms, an ambient light rejecting projector screen and gray materials maintain contrast; dedicated dark rooms shine with matte white gains around 1.0–1.3. Ultra-short-throw projectors need a UST projector screen with UST-specific ALR optics. Consider aspect ratios like 16:9 for TV and gaming, 2.35:1 for cinemascope, and 4:3 for legacy content. Acoustically transparent fabrics let you hide speakers behind the image without sacrificing clarity.

• Measure seating distance; aim for a 30–40° field of view for immersion.
• Match screen size to projector throw and lumen output for proper brightness.
• Pick gain to balance brightness and viewing angle; 1.0 is a neutral choice.
• Select tensioned screens for a flat, wrinkle-free surface and 4K sharpness.
• Motorized and ceiling-recessed models work with 12V triggers or smart controls.
• For UST, use a dedicated UST ALR; standard ALR behaves differently optically.
• Outdoor projector screens need durable materials and secure, fast anchoring.
• Plan stud placement, level mounting, and cable management for a clean install.

Maintain your projector screen with a soft microfiber cloth and the cleaner your manufacturer recommends. Store portable screens dry to prevent wrinkles.
