FAQ
What is an ALR projector screen?
An ALR (Ambient Light Rejection) screen enhances clarity by blocking ambient light, making it ideal for projection in daylight or home projector screen indoor setups.
For the best results, an ALR screen is usually paired with a high-performance ultra short throw projector. We’re introducing the Aetherion series—AWOL Vision’s sharpest 4K triple-laser UST—is now open for orders via Kickstarter.
How does ALR technology work on projector screens?
ALR technology selectively reflects the projector’s light toward viewers, absorbing ambient light to maintain vivid colors. It’s ideal for UST ALR screens and home theater screen installations in bright environments.
What are the different types of projector screens and their specifications?
AWOL Vision offers three main types of projector screens:
●Cinematic Screens: ALR screens perfect for ultra short throw projectors. The wall-mounted model has a 0.6dB gain and uses eco-friendly BlackGrid TPU HBSP material, while the floor-rising version offers a 0.8dB gain from HBSI TPU material.●Daylight Screens: ALR projector screens indoor, optimized with Fresnel PET for varying light conditions. These wall-mounted screens offer a 1.1dB gain, performing well in bright environments.
●Matte White Screens: Compatible with all projector types (long, short, UST), these screens provide a gain of 1.3dB, made from durable PVC, ideal for versatile indoor use across various projector screen sizes.

How to choose between Cinematic and Daylight projector screens?
Choosing between Cinematic and Daylight projector screens depends on your environment and viewing needs.
1. Cinematic screen: Designed for home theater screens in dimly lit environments. Rejects overhead light and offers a wide 170° viewing angle—perfect for living rooms or bedrooms.
2. Daylight screen: Blocks light from all directions, performing well any time of day. Its narrower 90° viewing angle is ideal for projection TV setups in bright rooms.
Both screens offer excellent light rejection, but the Daylight screen provides more versatile light-blocking.
What sets AWOL Vision's Daylight ALR Projector Screen apart from others?
Can AWOL Vision's projector screens display 3D content?
Yes, all AWOL Vision screens support 3D content, making them ideal for movie projector screen experiences. When paired with our 3D projector, they offer greater depth and sharpness, creating an immersive home theater screen experience.
Can AWOL Vision's ALR projection screens reduce eye strain?
Is an ALR projector screen essential for UST projection?
For Ultra Short Throw (UST) projections, an ALR screen is highly recommended. It significantly enhances image quality by reducing glare and ambient light washout, increasing contrast and brightness. This is crucial for achieving optimal visual clarity, especially in settings that use projector screens from the floor or for large installations like 120" projector screens or 150 inch projector screens.
Can I install an AWOL Vision projector screen myself?
Yes, both types of AWOL Vision projector screens are designed for easy installation:
●Wall-Mounted Screens: Require basic tools and take 1-2 hours to set up. The process can be done alone or with help.
●Floor-Rising Screens: Offer easy plug-and-play setup. Just connect the power cord, and the projector screen from the floor will automatically rise or retract, saving space when not in use.
