Shining a Light on Projection Screens By Midwich
As new technologies begin to shape the future of the projector market, projection screens are swiftly following suit, with an increasing variety of sizes and surfaces being created. The demand for 4K UHD and ambient light rejecting projection surfaces is rising rapidly, and we are fast approaching the point where 4K UHD is adopted as the visual standard to match the resolution of newly-released content. Ambient light rejecting surfaces effectively filter away unwanted light while leaving the projected image clearly visible, making them ideal for installation in bright areas. This specialized surface type also offers a contrast boost for increased clarity, allowing entry-level projectors to perform
on par with more expensive, brighter ANSI lumen alternatives. Our projection screen vendors have a variety of solutions in place to meet these growing new requirements, continually investing in new research and development in order to meet customer demand.
