- What is an ALR projector screen and do I need one?
- ALR stands for ambient light rejecting: the surface is engineered to reflect projector light toward the viewer while absorbing light coming from the sides and above. It helps most in rooms with windows or lamps on during viewing. In a fully dark room, a standard white or gray screen can be just as good for less money.
- What is the difference between the Slimline Tension and the S floor-rising screen?
- The Slimline Tension is a wall- or ceiling-mounted motorized screen that drops down from a cassette. The S is a floor-rising model: the screen rises out of a base unit sitting on the floor, which suits rooms where ceiling mounting is not possible and lets the screen disappear when not in use.
- Does the long-throw version work with any projector?
- The S model is specified for long-throw projectors, the common type with a throw ratio around 1.5:1 or higher mounted across the room. Ultra-short-throw projectors, which sit inches from the wall, need a different ALR surface and should not be paired with this screen.
- When does VIVIDSTORM run sales?
- VIVIDSTORM discounts mostly around major sale periods and occasional direct-site promotions rather than on a fixed schedule. There are no active deals on this page now; check back for price changes before buying.
- What is the return policy on VIVIDSTORM screens?
- Return windows and conditions are set by the seller you buy from, and large motorized screens are often subject to restocking fees and freight costs if returned. Confirm the policy with the store before ordering, and inspect the screen for shipping damage before mounting it.
