Our Review

Introduction

Stewart Filmscreen is a name synonymous with high-quality projection screens in the home theater industry. Among their offerings, the Cima BC series stands out as a solution for enthusiasts looking to bring the cinematic scope of 2.35:1 into their personal viewing space. The Cima BC 2.35:1 (CinemaScope) Retractable Below Ceiling Projector Screen is designed to offer a premium experience without the fully custom price tag that Stewart is known for.

Design and Build Quality

The Cima BC series is constructed with the same attention to detail that Stewart Filmscreen has built its reputation upon. Available in either Neve or Tiburon G4 screen materials, the choice between a specified gain of 1.1 or 0.95 allows for flexibility depending on the ambient light conditions of the room. The screen's build is robust, indicating a product that will withstand the test of time. The bracketing system is designed to be versatile and hidden, ensuring a clean and unobtrusive installation.

Installation Process

Installing the Cima BC is an exercise in convenience. The hidden bracketing and terminations are engineered to facilitate a straightforward setup. While the overall process is DIY-friendly, it is always advisable to have an extra pair of hands or seek professional assistance for a seamless installation. The integrated control system further simplifies operation, allowing users to retract or deploy the screen with minimal effort.

Screen Performance

When it comes to performance, the Cima BC series does not disappoint. The Neve screen material, with its gain of 1.1, is perfect for environments with controlled lighting, offering a bright and vivid image. The Tiburon G4, on the other hand, with a slightly lower gain of 0.95, is adept at improving contrast in rooms with some ambient light. The 2.35:1 aspect ratio is a true nod to the CinemaScope format, providing an immersive experience for movie enthusiasts.

Features and Usability

The integrated control system is a standout feature, simplifying the user experience by making the screen's operation intuitive and hassle-free. The black drop options of 6-inch and 12-inch, while limited, are adequate for most standard installations. However, those with unique ceiling heights or installation challenges should plan accordingly. The range of preconfigured sizes ensures that most home theater spaces can be accommodated.

Warranty and Support

Stewart Filmscreen's complimentary 2-year extended warranty with accidental damage protection is a testament to their confidence in the Cima BC's quality. The option to upgrade the warranty adds an additional layer of security for the investment, which is a significant plus for consumers.
