Motorized "Floor-Rising" Ambient Light Rejecting Screen for UST Projector

If you are in a situation where you either cannot, or simply prefer not to, assemble and/or permanently mount a fixed-frame projection screen on the wall, an electric motorized floor-rising ambient light rejecting screen just might be the right solution for you. A “floor-rising” screen can be set up directly on the floor if you also place your ultra short throw projector on the floor, or you can instead center both the screen and projector atop the same stand, cabinet, or table, even if the housing of the screen is too long and it hangs over both sides.

Industry leader Elite Screens’ Kestrel Tab-Tension 2 CLR Series ambient light rejecting electric motorized floor-rising screen [manufacturer’s link] [available in 101″ in white only] and [121″ diagonal in black] or [white at Amazon] utilizes Elite’s top-of-the-line StarBright CLR (Ceiling Light Rejecting) lenticular screen material which features a 0.6 gain, absorbs up to 95% of overhead ambient lighting, and provides an ultra-wide 180° viewing angle. It rises and lowers at the push of a button using a scissor-backed spring riser to provide a tab-tensioned taut, flat, and ripple-free projection surface ideal for UST projectors.

Includes both IR and RF remote controls as well as a wireless 12v trigger to sync with UST projector’s power cycle. Black bottom border is 8″ high for the 101″ screen or 12″ high for the 121″ screen.
