Front projection systems have always been limited to dark rooms. Any extraneous light that falls on the screen gets reflected back to the viewer, washing out the projected image. Screen Innovations introduced a material at CEDIA that effectively absorbs this extraneous light, allowing only the projected image to be seen by the viewer. The result is an image that you can see even with the room lights on. The material is available in various sizes, from about 60 inches up to 120 inches (for a 16:9 screen) in 1-inch increments. Prices vary with framing.
