The short version
Why the Black Series deserves a close look
A low-gain lenticular surface aimed at stronger perceived blacks and ambient-light control in UST installations.
The merchant positions the Black Series for rooms where ceiling light and daylight would otherwise wash out a projected image.
The current product page lists 84, 92, 100, 110, 120 and larger spliced sizes up to 150 inches.
Start nearest the buying decision
Three questions determine whether this screen fits your room
Do you need ALR?
In a dark, controlled room, a matte white screen may be enough. In living rooms with ceiling lights or daylight, a UST-oriented ALR/CLR surface can protect perceived contrast.
Decide whether ALR is worth it →Lenticular or Fresnel?
Lenticular screens generally prioritize a wide seating cone. Fresnel screens can reject light from more directions but often narrow the best viewing zone.
Compare the structures →100 or 120 inches?
Wall width, seating distance and UST geometry matter more than the urge to go as large as possible.
Choose the size →Money pages
