4K UST Projector + 100" Fresnel ALR Screen for Daytime
Viewing conventional “long throw projectors” (and some large televisions) during daytime hours can often be challenging due to image washout and poor contrast from excessive ambient room light from both direct sunrays and indirect sunlight/daylight reflections coming through uncovered windows and also from other lighting sources inside the home.
Each of the six 4K ultra short throw projector + screen bundles featured below on this page include an unassembled higher-gain 100″ diagonal fresnel “Daylight” ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen (compared to lower-gain lenticular “Cinematic” ALR screens) which rejects most ambient light emanating from both the ceiling above and both sides of the screen (instead of just from above as with Cinematic ALR screens), solving the main problem with daytime projector viewing. A potential drawback to fresnel “Daylight” ALR screens is they typically have a narrower viewing angle than lenticular “Cinematic” ALR screens.
When it comes to competing with the negative effects of excessive ambient room lighting during daytime viewing, the brighter the light output of the UST projector the better the image. The longtime accepted industry standard for measuring projector brightness is ANSI lumens.
TRIPLE LASER
Each of the following four bundles include a triple-laser 4K ultra short throw projector together with a 100″ diagonal fresnel fixed-frame projection screen. Lacking a color wheel, triple laser technology directly projects three native Red, Green, and Blue lasers which reproduce much more of the color gamut compared to single-laser UST projectors.
#1 AWOL 3500 ANSI Lumen UST Projector + 1.1 Gain Fresnel Screen
Rated at 3500 ANSI lumens, AWOL Vision LTV-3500 triple-laser 4K ultra short throw projector ranks among the brightest UST projectors currently on the market. It’s 3D-ready (with optional active shutter 3D glasses and a source such as 3D Blu-ray) and can display 107% of the Rec.2020 color space, and 149% of DCI-P3, which translates into over one billion colors.
