Projector Screens

Buying a quality projector screen has more impact than most realize. Screens impact brightness, contrast, viewing angle and uniformity when there is ambient light in the room.

Different screens are better suited to different rooms/projectors. Screen Innovations Zero Edge Pro 16: 9 UST ALR screen is a great option if you're using an ultra-short throw projector. The ALR surface helps cut down on ambient light without sacrificing cleaning ease or a sleek design. If you want a more traditional screen and image quality is your number one concern, consider the Stewart Filmscreen StudioTek 130 G4 Wallscreen Deluxe.

EPV makes a ton of quality screens as well. Their offerings include the Prime Vision ISF 3, Dark Star UST, Polar Star and PowerMax series. Some of these screens focus on coping with ambient light. Others are better suited to dedicated home theater rooms.

Screen size matters also. We all want to go as big as possible, but your projector has to be bright enough to account for your screen's material and room lighting. Aspect ratio is important to consider too if you're a fan of watching widescreen movies.

Your specific combination of projector, room setup, screen size, lighting and viewing habits will determine which Projector Screens are right for you.
