Is the Slate AT worth it over a white screen?

If your room has windows or lights you can't fully control, the 65% ambient-light rejection is the main reason to pay more. In a fully dark room, a cheaper white or gray screen gets you most of the way there.

How far should the projector be from a 106-inch Slate AT?

Screen Innovations specifies a minimum throw of 1.5 times the image width. For a 106-inch diagonal 16:9 image, that is about 7.7 feet of width, so plan on roughly 11.6 feet or more from lens to screen.

Can I put speakers behind this screen?

Yes. The fabric is acoustically transparent, with 0.55mm holes at 7% openness, so left, center and right speakers can sit behind it. Expect a slight high-frequency softening compared with speakers in the open.

Does it come assembled?

No. The screen ships unassembled, and you build the frame and stretch the fabric yourself. Set aside a couple of hours and two people.

Is the Slate AT good for off-angle seating?

It has a 35° half-gain angle, or 70° total. Seats more than about 35° off center will see a dimmer, less uniform image, so keep the main row fairly centered.

What projector resolution does it support?

Screen Innovations rates the material for HD, 4K and 8K projectors. The perforation is fine enough that you won't see the holes from a normal seating distance with 4K content.

Our take on the Screen Innovations Slate AT

The Screen Innovations Slate AT is a fixed-frame projector screen with a 1/2-inch aluminum bezel and a gray, acoustically transparent ambient-light-rejecting fabric. Its Slate material has 1.2 gain, rejects 65% of room light, and uses a 0.55mm perforation pattern at 7% openness so center-channel speakers can sit behind it. The 106-inch version is the size listed here; it ships unassembled and carries a 1-year warranty. No current price was provided for this listing.
