Selecting the correct projection screen type when using The Premiere

If a screen is selected that is not suitable for the style of your Samsung projector, the light from the projector may be reflected incorrectly (such as in the wrong direction). Ambient light (such as that from ceiling lamps, windows, or light entering from adjacent rooms) may also be reflected incorrectly. These conditions may cause light bleeding and a low contrast image.

Additionally, most walls that are used for projection are not completely flat and may have uneven textures. Most white walls are not neutral white (they may be off-white or cream), which may lead to discoloration.

In a dedicated home theater or darkroom, it is important to use a screen with optimal reflectivity to avoid excessive reflection of the projector light onto the ceiling or walls. It is also recommended to use a UST (Ultra Short Throw) projector screen to compensate for any external light sources that may degrade the image quality. Please see the next section in this article for more information about UST projector screens.

Although gray screens can also be used, please keep in mind that they may reduce the brightness of images.

When selecting a proper screen, please consider and use the following:

• A screen that is compatible with the usable screen size of your projector.
  
  
• An optimal contrast.
  
  
• A wide view angle type.
  
  
• A high horizontal and vertical viewing angle.
  
  
• A high ALSR (Ambient light rejecting screen), or ambient light blocking rate.
  
  
• An optimal Gain. Screens with a high Gain may reflect too much light, causing the light to be visible outside the screen. However, screens with a low Gain may appear too dim. To prevent excessive reflection of the projector light onto the ceiling or walls, use a screen with an appropriate level of Gain.
