Projector White Screen vs ALR Screen - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS!

This video summarizes perfectly why I should get rid of my projector and get a big OLED TV instead

You just saved me thousands mate; thanks for the thorough video!

Wow, apparently motorized tension is a must for for short throw projectors. I originally wrote a comment trolling you asking if you hit your white screen with a baseball bat to make it that wavy. Then I realized short throw projectors are way more attected by any waves in the screen. Yikes. Well, i definitely learned something today. Also, i never knew there were floor mounted projectors screens. Combining the short throw projector and floor mounted screen into one box base is awesome! Great video

Simply put this grey screen sends back less light BUT 100% of that signal is polarised that makes image so vivid and properly coloured. We are only loosing reflected distorted light that wasn't straight and was introducing blurring. Less is more 💥

I have an older Epson 3LCD short throw projector l, would I still benefit from using an ALR screen?

Gain is meaningless when projecting images. What's important is reflected light into a specific viewing angle. Ambient light rejection is the flip side of incident light reflection. Good matte white is not cheap It's a medicre projection surface for a seated audience because it scatters more than 90% of the incident light outside the viewing area. Glass beaded surface screens were reflective and returned light very close to the path of incidence, making them more efficient but with a limited viewing angle. ALR is a compromise between these two. Examples of more affordable ALR are SCREENPRO fixed frame 92" T Prism UST $800 aliexpress SCREENPRO100" Motorized Floor Self-Rising 8K ALR Screen ~$1100

Have been waiting for this review for sometime. Using DiY cheap alr curtain and have been holding on to get a premium one. Thanks mate.

How do you think, will ALR screen improve my home theatre experience, if i am using not laser, but DLP projector? (Xgimi RS Pro 2)

Good review! Thanks

in my personal opinion the sixe and brightness of a ust projector is so mind blowing the alr screen isnt necessary until it redues significantly in price. for context i have been using the xgimi aura 4k straight on to a wall that is painted grey using a high gloss black mixed with a matt white. had this set up for 8 months as my only tv. everyone is blown away. i pull the curtains at the same times of day i had to with my old tv and the size and quality make up for any lack of brightness in the daytime. paint costs about $35 and is already a significant upgrade to a white wall.

Hi, do you think I really need a skreen for the wemax go advance ?? the $20 portable , or it is not difference with the white wall ??

So what gray paint will work best?

I started off on s White screen and later just used my white wall lol it worked better but later i just used black screen and it was best choice no doubt

Awesome review. Like the comparison between screens.

So...I hope the guy at Best Buy didn't tell me wrong. I have a 110" Black Diamond slate. It will look OK with the short throw projector, right? Teaming it up with an Epson LS800.

I believe the window behind the white screen is what's causing the distortion. The pressure cause the window isn't completely sealed is slightly moving the fabric, not to mention the heat variations. Either that or you intentionally have a fan on to move the fabric cause you can definitely make out the fabric moving in the darker portions of the video.

I have a 55“ OLED TV for the daylight and a 200£ Projector for sports in die evening- works fine

Great review! I too have a Screeneo U5, but struggling with where/how to place it. May I ask, where did you get your custom furniture? :)

Hi i have question, could you recomend me some ALR screen material from aliexpress? I dont need electric screen i will biuld frame and i just need material. Thank you for help :) Or please tell me on what kind of specification should have ALR screen material?

Thanks for the demo! Super helpful. I'm looking for a cabinet that can conceal my UST (and that doesn't cost as much as the VIVIDSTORM Monte Carlo). Do you of any?
