Choosing a Screen for an Ultra-Short-Throw Projector
VIVIDSTORM offers motorized tension screens marketed for ultra-short-throw (UST) laser projectors. Its S PRO is described as a UST ambient-light-rejecting screen. The product listing, rather than a general description of the product line, is the place to check the specifications for a particular model and size.
Check the projector match
The manufacturer describes its UST ALR material as designed for UST projectors. Its product information names 1,800 ANSI lumens or more as an appropriate projector brightness level. Check the screen and projector documentation for your exact models before buying; the screen alone cannot guarantee a particular image in every room.
Model-specific specifications matter
The S PRO listing gives a 0.6 gain rating and a 170° viewing angle. Those are manufacturer-published specifications for that listing, not a promise that every VIVIDSTORM screen has those specifications. Confirm the size, housing, and installation type shown for the chosen model.
Motorized tension design
The S PRO is listed as a motorized tension floor-rising screen. Review the exact product listing for the controls, installation requirements, and operating instructions for the configuration you plan to use.
Who it may suit
A UST ALR screen may be worth considering when selecting a screen for a compatible UST projector. Compare the manufacturer's specifications for the screen and projector and consider the room setup before choosing. Do not assume an ALR screen eliminates ambient light or guarantees daytime viewing performance.
