THE RIGHT SIZE:There are a number of variables that can effect the screen size for your home theatre such as room dimensions, or your choice in projector. Different projectors have maximum screen sizes. To find the best screen size for you space, multiply the desired screen size by 1.5 to find the optimum seating area (Screens are measured diagonally).
ANAMORPHIC WIDE SCREEN: Anamorphic screens allow for the viewing of movies in true widescreen or Cinema Scope™
(aspect ratio of 2:35:1). Cinema Scope™ was developed to provide a more immersive experience. An anamorphic screen eliminates the letter boxing “black bars” that appear on the top and bottom with a standard 16:9 screen.
ACOUSTICALLY TRANSPARENT SCREEN: An “acoustically transparent” screen is one that allows sound to pass through the screen’s surface. This allows the front surround sound speakers to be placed behind the screen at the same height and location as the action a screen- thus providing the most realistic audio experience. Acoustically transparent screens are used in commercial cinemas. Scroll down to watch a vine of acoustically transparent screen be installed.
SCREENS FOR AMBIENT LIGHT:For non-dedicated spaces with ambient light, like a game room, a screen with a higher gain is recommended. High gain screens have a gray hue and are designed reject ambient light.
