Projection is made up of two key components, the Projector and the Screen. The screen you use should be reflecting back to you the full capability of your projector without any anomalies including glare, texture and visible frame edge. It should also have the right amount of gain, right in the 'sweet zone' for a home cinema and should be the correct colour temperature.

Screen Gain And Material Finishes
Screen gain or 'gain' is a measurement of the screens reflectivity. It has a reference standard by which gain is measured against, that being magnesium oxide (plaster). This is a zero gain diffuse material which measures 1.0, this means it has no gain at all. For Home Theatre applications, we have found a sweet zone for the gain of a material, being 1.1 to 1.3. Any higher than 1.3, the surface can glare or hot spot. Any lower than 1.1 means the image can appear quite dull and lifeless which can be likened to using a wall instead of a quality screen like our Majestic Screen. Reflective screens materials are the most commonly used in home theatre applications.

The internet is full of cheap asian imports and like everything, you get what you pay for! Luckily, here at Oz Theatre Screens, we've kept top of the line componentry for use on our screens including exclusive use of the blackest material in the world, black Fidelio Velvet.  Combined with Evo Ultra 4K screen vinyl which is the smoothest screen material on the market, makes for the ultimate viewing experience. The idea of the screen disappearing is ultimately what you want to achieve, you don't want to see reflections coming off the frame nor do you want visible grain or texture in the screen surface. Projectors today are anomaly free, best to keep them looking that way. This is the reason we designed and produce the Majestic range of dedicated screens with 5 different screen material choices.

In short, the most important factors are screen surface without hot spotting or any texture, combined with the right gain and colour temp, the blackest possible frame to absorb the soft edge from the projector and to enhance the contrast. And of course our pricing and this is what sets us apart from our competitors. There are no distributors, no middle men. Our screens are built to spec here on the Gold Coast and shipped same day, direct from the manufacturer!
