Phoenix Projectors AV and XY Screens each offer a tensioned wall-mount, fixed-frame 80″ diagonal ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) projection screen which must be properly assembled, aligned with UST projector image, and permanently hung from the wall. Phoenix Projectors AV also offers a plug-and-play tab-tensioned electric motorized free-standing floor-rising 80″ diagonal ALR projection screen which rises/lowers at the push of a button, as well as electric motorized wall/ceiling-mount drop-down 80″ diagonal ALR screens which also lower/rise at the push of a button and must be properly aligned with the UST projector’s image and mounted to the wall/ceiling. Any of these ALR screens will produce contrast levels far superior to standard matte white screens when used together with an ultra short throw projector, even more so inside a light-controlled or darkened room.
