The flattest surface money buys · review
The entry point to fixed-frame projection: a tensioned surface on a rigid frame, which is the only screen construction with no waves in it.
In brief
The construction that removes the one variable a projector cannot correct — bought at the entry price, with the specification sheet of an entry product. Key figures: 90 inch · 78.7 × 44.5 in (200 × 113 cm) image · 16:9 · fixed frame. It is a European model with no Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026. Our score: 7.2/10, specification-checked.
Flatness. A projected image reveals every ripple in its surface, and a tensioned fabric on a rigid frame is the only construction in this catalog with none. On a long-throw machine the difference is modest; with a short-throw projector, where light arrives at a steep angle, it is the difference between a picture and a picture with bands in it.
Standard on this construction and worth understanding: it absorbs the overspill at the edge of the image and gives the eye a reference. That is why fixed-frame screens look sharper than the same fabric hanging loose, with nothing else changed.
Gain, and black backing. Gain says how much light returns toward the viewer — 1.0 is neutral, and higher concentrates it toward the center at the cost of viewing angle. Backing is the opaque layer that stops light passing through and coming back. Neither is stated here, and this page will not assume values for them.
The listing gives 78.7 × 44.5 in (200 × 113 cm) of image and a 90-inch diagonal. Measure the wall between whatever is fixed — a window, a beam — before ordering, and remember that the frame adds to the image dimensions.
The entry price for the construction. What you are buying is the frame and the tension; the fabric specification is where a more expensive screen puts its money.

Yes, and it is inherent rather than a matter of quality. Fabric that has been rolled keeps some memory of it; fabric tensioned on a frame does not. A tab-tensioned roller screen closes most of the gap and does not eliminate it.
It absorbs the light that spills just outside the image and gives the eye a hard edge to reference. The effect is that the picture looks sharper and its blacks look deeper, and it is the cheapest visible improvement in a projected system.
7.2/ 10
The construction that removes the one variable a projector cannot correct — bought at the entry price, with the specification sheet of an entry product.
A room where one wall can be given over to the image, and where flatness matters more than the wall coming back.

Fixed frame · 83.5 in (212 cm) TOTAL width · white fabric
A fixed frame whose listing states total width rather than image width — the measurement that actually has to fit between two windows.
Best for: A wall with a hard constraint — between two windows, under a beam — where the total dimension is what matters.

100 inch · 1.3 gain matte white PVC · 170° viewing angle · 4K/8K/3D · long, short and ultra short throw
One of the few screens in this catalog that publishes a gain figure — 1.3 — and the one that states which projector geometries it suits.
Best for: Any projector position in a room you can darken — the one fixed frame here that states it suits long, short and ultra short throw.

4K PRO-UHD · 3,000 lumens white AND color brightness · 40,000:1 stated contrast · 3LCD · optional Wi-Fi
A 3LCD projector that publishes white and color brightness as the same figure — a distinction single-chip machines rarely make, and one that decides how a saturated image actually looks.
Best for: A viewer who notices color rather than pixel count, and anyone bothered by the rainbow effect single-chip projectors can produce.
