How to choose projector screen and what materials and types do you know?

When buying projector screens, pays attention not only to the size of the screen, but also the material of the screen. We are usually familiar with five types of home projector screens, namely: white plastic, white fiberglass, gray fiberglass, glass bead and metal.

White plastic projector screen
The white plastic projector screen is a relatively common PVC material, the workmanship is relatively rough, the surface is textured, and it does not look as clear as the white fiberglass, but the effect is better than the white wall.

plastic vs glass fiber projector screens

White glass fiber projector screen
The white fiberglass projector screen is made of high-definition materials with special effects, which will naturally stretch and straighten without needing to be smoothed. The effect is bright in color, which can increase the luminance coefficient and contrast of the projection. It is moisture-proof and mildew-proof and is also conducive to cleaning. In the case of greater climate change, it can also be kept straight, with a longer service life and cost-effective.

Gray glass fiber projector screen
The gray glass fiber screen has better contrast and strong resistance to ambient light interference, but it has higher requirements for the projector, otherwise the picture effect is not ideal. The projector is used with a real standard of more than 2000 lumens, and the projection effect during the day will be better than other materials.

Glass bead projector screen

The glass bead screen has high brightness, high resolution, sharp focus and vitality. It is suitable for low-lumen projectors to increase the projection brightness. It is an upgraded version of white glass fiber and supports 2D and 3D high-definition projection technology. It is recommended to buy a projector below 2000 lumens and use an LED projector.

Metal projector screen

The material of the metal screen has high resolution, good color reproduction, smooth and delicate screen surface, high flatness, and has the advantages of clear daytime imaging. If the projector lumens is too low, it can improve the contrast and brightness of the picture. The metal imaging effect of watching 3D movies is better than other materials.

Screen Features|
1. The sound is placed behind the screen, and you can feel the immersion of high-quality audio and video in one.
2. Compared with ordinary white screen, it can better restore the image quality, color saturation and brightness.
3. Through multifunctional coating, effectively eliminate the flash point of the picture, the picture quality is clear, the luminance coefficient is 1.4.
4. Nano-level polyhedral reflective material coating, in the dark (50Lx) environment, the details of the dark part of the picture can be presented, and at the same time, it can show more abundant color levels in the dark.

Applicable environment: use in low light (50Lx) environment.
Adapted projector: 4K, 8K telephoto projector (throw ratio: 1.5-1.9).
Applicable places: high-end theaters, home theaters, VIP theaters, office meetings, KTV, etc.

Projector screen paint
It is used to make the painted high-performance projection screen. It is mainly used in multimedia fusion projection projects, conference room projection, home theater and other occasions. Thanks to the nature of projection paint, the projection can be constructed on special-shaped, curved, and 360° surround surfaces. The main index to measure the performance of projector screen paint is the luminance coefficient value. The larger the brightness coefficient, the higher the brightness coefficient, the better the projection effect.

Projector screen paint vs projector screen (curtain)

Projector screen are used in movies, offices, home theaters, large conferences and other occasions to display images and video files. There are many specifications and sizes. For different space projecor screens have different choices. For example, a wide viewing angle and low luminance coefficient screen should be selected for occasions with a large number of people or horizontal viewing. For narrow and long space viewing, choose a narrow viewing angle and high luminance coefficient screen, and choose a screen with appropriate luminance coefficient. The screen helps to improve the contrast of the screen, increase the image grayscale, vivid colors, and increase the visibility of the image.

From the perspective of installation, the spraying of projector screen paint is even more a technical activity. The requirements for uniformity of wall spraying are relatively high. The technical requirements for installation of projector screens(curtains) will be lower. The projector screen has a certain anti-light effect while the anti-light effect of the projector screen paint is relatively poor.

Different projector screens also have their own advantages in luminance coefficient effects and the luminance coefficient of projector screen paint is also different. Silver projector paint has best luminance coefficient of about 1.5-2.0, but when viewed in a dark environment, the contrast is relatively large and it is prone to eye fatigue. Therefore, it is recommended that the luminance coefficient of projector screen paint is about 1.2.

For users who do not require high light resistance performance, it is also a good choice to choose a projection paint with luminance coefficient of about 1.2. If you need higher light resistance performance and do not have high requirements on the viewing angle, you can also choose projector curtain.
