| Our projection screens are manufactured by the leading names in the industry, and each manufacturer has a wealth of resources available for you to choose from. To make it easier, we've put together a guide to each material from each manufacturer, with important info such as gain and viewing angle. Although these recommendations will work in most situations, each must be looked at not as a strict rule, but rather as a guideline for determining your actual needs based on your own situation.

Fiberglass Matt White
( 1.0 Gain, 180º viewing angle)
The standard to which all other screen surfaces are compared. A matt white vinyl reflective surface laminated to a woven textile base.
