New ambient light rejecting projector screen gives better contrast and brighter images

TV fans, gamers and those that love to watch sports and films will see even more of the action with the new ambient light rejecting projector screen from Optoma – the ALR100. This high performance front projection screen is engineered to achieve vibrant images even in brightly lit rooms. Its specialised screen surface is designed to actively reflect a projected image for high contrast and solid colour saturation while preventing ambient light from washing out the picture. Super-sized images can be enjoyed on the 100-inch fixed frame screen any time of day.

Joe Ahmed, Head of Marketing at Optoma EMEA, commented: ""We are excited to unveil our new ambient light rejecting screen. When coupled with our ultra short throw projectors, the solution delivers an exceptional 100-inch Full HD image to meet the ever increasing demands for a big screen display - even in bright ambient lighting conditions."

Designed for use with an ultra short throw projector, the ALR100 works perfectly with the Optoma GT5500 and GT5000 projectors. These produce an image that fills the huge 100-inch ALR100 screen size with the projector placed just 30cm away. They make a neat solution for any living room and guarantee a huge picture the whole family can enjoy without shadows cast from gamers or people going to fetch the popcorn.

The ALR100's narrow bezel delivers a stylish, modern look that will complement any living space. Its 0.42 gain provides wide viewing angles from any seating position – perfect for gaming or watching the match with friends. It also enables deeper black levels for fine details in darker scenes – even with the lights on.
