Da-Lite 28849V 84" Parallax Pure Screen-ALR

Overview

Features HD Progressive surfaces designed for 1080p, 4K and Ultra HD!  Ambient Light Rejecting Material!

Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screens differ from a regular screens in several ways.  The most common screen surfaces reflect the incoming light uniformly in all directions.

 

These screen surfaces are referred to as diffuse reflectors.  The light is reflected back in many angles, rather than just at one angle. Surfaces that reflect back at only one angle are referred to specular reflectors - they reflect light at an angle precisely opposite the one at which that light arrived, such as a mirror.

Some projector screens may not be purely diffuse reflectors in the sense that they may reflect light back in one direction more than other directions.  This is often done to increase the brightness of the reflected image (gain) within a certain area (viewing angle).

An ALR screen works by selectively reflecting light back to the audience.  This effect is achieved by positioning the projector and screen in such a way that the projector's light is bounced towards the audience, while the other light in the room is reflected back in some other direction.

Some ALR screens work due to a principal referred to as Angular Reflectivity.  This means that your projected image will reflect back to the audience at the mirror-opposite angle to the projector hitting the screen.  I.e. if the projector is angled down at a 15 degree angle, the audience will get the brightest image while viewing the screen looking up at 15 degrees.

Whichever the ALR technology that your surface is using, there will still be some ambient light that cannot be negated.  ALR screens only work if the ambient lighting is NOT hitting the screen from the same direction the projector.  I.E. if you have your projector positioned at the back of the room near other light sources that are also aiming towards your screen, the ALR surface will not do anything to negate that other lighting.

The ambient light source must be coming from a different direction/angle than your projector such as reflections off of white walls, overhead or recessed lighting or from windows on the side of your room in order to get the benefit of an ALR screen.

It will be fire retardant and mildew resistant, plus standard wall-mounting brackets will be included.

The Da-Lite 28849V 84" Parallax Pure Screen-ALR is an innovative and advanced projection screen that enhances the viewing experience in both professional audiovisual (AV) applications and home theaters. Its HD progressive surfaces are specifically designed for 1080P, 4K, and Ultra HD resolutions, ensuring a stunning and immersive display.

The standout feature of this screen is its ambient light-rejecting (ALR) technology. Utilizing a micro-layered optical lens system, the Parallax Pure screen effectively rejects light, mimicking the appearance of a television when it is on and off. This means that it eliminates glare from windows or lighting fixtures, creating a seamless and distraction-free viewing experience.

One of the key benefits of the Parallax Pure screen is its wide viewing angles, which allow viewers to enjoy the content from various positions in the room. Additionally, the screen is equipped with multiple layers that play a role in maintaining image quality in high ambient light environments. Some layers absorb light, while one special layer, shaped like a microscopic saw-tooth, blocks light from above, preserving high-contrast and bright images.

Compared to regular screens, ALR screens like the Da-Lite 28849V reflect light selectively back to the audience, rather than uniformly in all directions. This is achieved through angular reflectivity, where the projected image reflects back to the audience at an angle opposite to the projector hitting the screen. This ensures that the audience receives the brightest image possible, even in a well-lit room.

It is important to note that ALR screens work best when the ambient lighting in the room does not come from the same direction as the projector. The ambient light source should come from a different angle, such as reflections off white walls, overhead or recessed lighting, or windows on the side of the room. By positioning the projector and screen strategically, users can fully benefit from the ALR technology.

The Da-Lite 28849V 84" Parallax Pure Screen-ALR comes with a standard frame and is easy to install. It is fire retardant and mildew resistant, ensuring its durability and longevity. The package also includes standard wall-mounting brackets for added convenience.

Overall, the Da-Lite 28849V 84" Parallax Pure Screen-ALR is a high-quality and cutting-edge projection screen that delivers exceptional image quality, even in brightly lit environments. Its ALR technology and innovative design make it a perfect choice for both professional AV applications and home theaters.
