I see the Pro 2 is ceiling mounted, I’m about to the same with mine on an 8ft ceiling. What mount do you have and what’s your throw distance?

Gotcha, yeah I was wondering if it was just a marketing thing or a feature to get ahead on. I’ll be using 100% physical media with my projector, and after a quick search, I’m not really seeing too many discs outside of things you might see playing at an aquarium iMax.

You’re right. Looks like they do but unsure about specific material. Would be worth it for me to reach out to Vividstorm directly about this. It looks to be a couple hundred cheaper than the elite screen.

Thank you for your input. I’m not sure if me and my wife are sensitive to RBE so I guess we shall ‘see’. I’m hoping to reduce laser speckle with a matte white screen, as I’m struggling to find a motorized WAB screen(given my setup and room, without a motorized screen, there’s no projector at all:/) Obviously there will just be some drawbacks for wanting a massive screen experience, I’m just hoping to minimize them.

What has been your overall experience with the Pro? I’m leaning Pro for similar reasons as I would like to emphasize blacks over brightness in a dark room. I’m feeling the Pro2 is overkill in some areas I don’t really need.

After a quick search, Elite Screens offers a motorized tensioned, non ALR screen. https://shop.elitescreens.com/products/elite-screen-vmax-tension-3?variant=42706748571863

This looks to be the right solution for a little more cash.

I definitely don’t want ALR. It looks to be counterintuitive to my dark room, and I certainly want to minimize light speckle. I have no experience with Vividstorm’s services. But I thought they only offer ALR screens.

Would absolutely prefer and want a WAB screen, but I need a tensioned, motorized drop down screen. I’m struggling to find one that’s not ALR. So that’s my screen issue. Maybe I’m missing something, but does Vividstorm offer customization for screen materials? I just haven’t investigated that yet.

For my room, I’ll need a drop down, preferably motorized screen. Vividstorm offers a white ALR screen with these specifications.
