AWOL VISION C120 ALR UST Projector Screen vs Elite Screens Aeon CLR 3

Both are 120-inch-class fixed-frame screens built for ultra short throw projectors, and both reject overhead light well. The AWOL VISION uses a lenticular ALR surface with a lower 0.6 gain, which gives deeper blacks and better contrast in a dim living room or dedicated theater. The Elite Screens Aeon CLR 3 has a higher 0.8 gain, so it holds up better in a room with some light, and it adds an LED backlight kit and a 2-year warranty. Owners rate the AWOL slightly higher, but the Elite is the easier all-around pick for a brighter multipurpose room.

• Choose the AWOL VISION if you watch mostly in a darkened room and want the deepest blacks and strongest contrast from your UST projector.
• Choose the Elite Screens Aeon CLR 3 if your room has more ambient light, you want the included LED backlight, and you value a stated 2-year warranty.
