Fixed Projector Screens

Fixed Projector Screens

Fixed projector screens create a permanent area to watch movies on in your home theater. They often result in a neater appearance since you don’t need to store a roll-away screen when it’s not in use.

Popular models include the Stewart Filmscreen WallScreen 2.5, which comes in 16:9, 2.35:1, and 2.40:1. It’s versatile enough to cover your needs whether you primarily watch standard definition content or full-blown CinemaScope. The EPV Dark Star 2 UST Edge-Free eFinity was made for use with ultra-short-throw projectors.

Screen Innovations also has edge-free models. The Zero Edge Maestro White 2 and Zero Edge Black Diamond both eliminate the visible border around your movie.

Of course, screen material is just as important to consider as screen size. The brightness of your projector, ambient light in the room, distance from the screen, and seating arrangement all play a part in what you should purchase.

A fixed screen is also ideal if you’re designing a room specifically for use as a home theater. Not only will you have an exact point to install your projector and position your speakers, but you can tailor your seating arrangement to the area as well. Installation also tends to be much easier.

If you have your heart set on a particular projector, know the dimensions of your room, and understand which screen ratio you want, you’ll find it simple to select the right screen.
