Projection Screens are changing the way family and friends entertain. With theaters closed over the nation, many clients are finding ways to bring the theater into their home. Upgrading from a traditional television set may seem overwhelming, but we are here to help with that transition. Advanced Integrated Controls has teamed up with Screen Innovations to bring the best projection screens, projection screen mounts and materials on the market.
When considering a projector it is important to consider your projection screen. Not all projection screens are equal and the quality of your projection screen will effect how well your projector displays. In this blog we will discuss different kind of mounts as well as the different fabric options to choose from.
Projection Screen Mounts
Whether you plan on a fixed screen or a motorized screen, we have many options available for every room and every price point.
Zero-G
Zero-G is a levitating motorized screen that can be placed anywhere. You don’t need to rearrange or give up a part of your room for this screen. Zero-G is versatile and can be placed wherever you want it, not where it has to go. In fact Zero-G can go places that a traditional television couldn’t! A Somfy Gen 1 Quiet Motor ensures a soft open and close and Butyl Vibration Isolation prevents the screen from swaying or vibrating.
Solo Pro 2
A contemporary design gives the Solo Pro 2 the designer’s advantage. This small cassette can come in 12 different color options and, despite its size, can produce a very big screen up to 160″!

Materials
Not all screens are the same. The material that is needed depends on the room, lighting and viewing angle. Even with the best projector an improper screen mixed with poor room lighting can degrade the image being projected. Some materials also allow for audio to be placed behind the screen. Allowing full audiophile sound quality without the eyesore of the speakers.
