ALR Projector Screens for Home Theatres
Ambient light rejecting (ALR) screens are designed to reduce the impact of unwanted light while directing useful projector light toward the viewing area. They can be valuable when a room cannot be made completely dark.
When should you consider an ALR screen?
ALR is worth considering when daylight, ceiling lights or other room lighting would otherwise wash out the projected image. The exact screen design should match the projector and room.
Bright living rooms
ALR can help maintain a more watchable image when complete blackout is not practical.
Large projection
Screen choice becomes increasingly important as the image size grows and brightness is spread over a larger area.
Projector matching
Gain, viewing angle and screen material should be considered alongside projector brightness and placement.
ALR is not a magic fix
Reducing ambient light in the room is still valuable. ALR screens have viewing-angle and placement characteristics, so the screen should be selected for the actual room rather than by the ALR label alone.
