Projeo: fixed, motorized and portable screens… What are the differences?

Projeo, a new brand featured on Son-Vidéo.com, offers a full line of projection screens designed for both home theater and professional presentations. The brand offers models in several formats (fixed, motorized, manual, or portable), as well as various screen technologies suited for long-throw or ultra-short-throw projectors. Before exploring the different ranges, it’s helpful to understand the specific features of these screens.

Projeo Projection Screens

HD, ALR LT, or ALR UST: which screen should you choose?

Before selecting a screen format, you should determine which screen technology is best suited for the projector and the installation room. The entire Projeo range is organized into three families of screens, each designed for a specific use.

HD models use a white screen with a gain ranging from 1 to 1.1, depending on the series. They prioritize neutral color reproduction and a wide viewing angle of up to 170°, and are designed for long-throw projectors installed in rooms where lighting conditions can be controlled.

The ALR LT (Ambient Light Rejection – Long Throw) models feature a technical screen designed for long-throw projectors. This technology blocks out some ambient light to preserve contrast and deep blacks. It is particularly well-suited for living rooms and other living spaces where complete darkness is not always possible.

Finally, the ALR UST models are designed exclusively for ultra short throw projectors. Their micro-lenticular screen takes advantage of the very specific projection angle of these projectors to filter out ambient light while maintaining a bright, high-contrast image.

Motorized screens: ease of use and integration

The Projeo line of motorized screens comes in two sizes. The Motion models mount on a wall or ceiling and unroll using an infrared remote control. The Rise models, on the other hand, rise vertically from a base placed on the floor or hidden behind a piece of furniture—a solution that’s particularly well-suited for installations where wall or ceiling mounting is not possible.

Each series is available in two versions. The HD models use a white screen with a gain between 1 and 1.1 and a beam angle of 170°, making them suitable for long-throw projectors. The ALR LT versions feature a technical screen with ambient light rejection (ALR), developed for long-throw projectors. With a gain of 1.8 and a viewing angle of 120°, they improve contrast in a well-lit room.

For ultra-short-throw projectors, Projeo offers the Rise ALR UST, equipped with a micro-lenticular screen designed specifically for this technology and optimized to minimize the impact of ambient light.

Manual and portable screens: simplicity and mobility

Users looking for a simple solution have several series to choose from.

The EasyPull HD is a classic manual screen designed for wall or ceiling mounting. Its matte white screen fabric offers a gain of 1 and a viewing angle of 170°, making it a suitable solution for both living rooms and conference rooms.

For mobile applications, Projeo offers two lines of portable screens. The Cross models rest on a tripod, while the PullUp models unfold directly from a base placed on the floor. Both series are available in HD versions, featuring a white screen designed for long-throw projectors, as well as in ALR LT versions, equipped with a technical screen that reflects ambient light to improve contrast in brighter environments.

These various solutions prioritize quick setup and are suitable for both professional presentations and occasional home theater sessions.

Fixed-screen displays: prioritizing picture quality

Fixed-frame screens are designed for permanent installations. Their structure ensures that the screen material remains taut at all times, guaranteeing a perfectly flat surface.

The Frame HD uses a white PVC screen with a gain of 1.1 and a viewing angle of 170°. Its aluminum frame, coated with a black velvet finish, minimizes unwanted reflections around the picture.

For installations in bright living rooms, Projeo also offers two models featuring ALR technical screens. The Frame ALR LT is designed for long-throw projectors, featuring a PET ALR screen with a gain of 1.8. The Frame ALR UST features an ALR screen specifically designed for ultra-short-throw projectors, with a micro-lenticular structure designed to maintain contrast despite ambient light.
