• [21:13]        Jaime: Hi, how may I help you?
• [21:14] Doug: Hi – I am interested in purchasing a 150″ Tab Tensioned screen in the $1000-2000 range. You have so many choices, I am trying to figure out the differences and get your recommendation as to which might be the best one.
• [21:15]        Jaime: The best one to buy given the price range of your budget would be the Starling Tab-tensioned model.
• [21:15]        Jaime: you can buy one here: http://shop.elitescreens.com/starlingtension.aspx
• [21:15]        Jaime: if you have ambient light in the room, we offer the Cinegrey5D for this model
• [21:15]        Jaime: you can make the selection on the order form at the link I gave you
• [21:16] Doug: Thank you. What is the difference between the one you sent me and this model: Elite Screens CineTension B Series?
• [21:16]        Jaime: the main differences can be seen on this comparison sheet: https://elitescreens.com/images/download/material/ComparisonTables/ElectricTension_CompTable.pdf
• [21:16]        Jaime: Notice that the Cinetension B series is not offered with the ambient light rejecting material.
• [21:17] Doug: So, for example, I am putting it in a room that has windows, it makes sense to get the ambient light rejection surface?
• [21:17]        Jaime: that is correct
• [21:17] Doug: Is there one for even slightly more money that you would recommend more than the ones in the link you sent me?
• [21:19]        Jaime: we do have the absolute best model, which is the Cinetension2 series, not B series, which differs in that the Cinetension2 series has the overall best build quality
• [21:19]        Jaime: Most importantly, it has the flattest surface tension. –Here is the product page.
• [21:19]        Jaime: http://eliteproav.com/product/cinetension2-series/
• [21:19] Doug: Thanks. How much do those run?
• [21:20] Doug: And just to understand – if I do have a room with ambient light, I should pick the CineGrey 5D vs the others?
• [21:20]        Jaime: that is correct
• [21:21] Doug: How much do the Cinetension 2 run?
• [21:21]        Jaime: those do go for over $1800.
• [21:21]        Jaime: you get those through our ProAv channel
• [21:21]        Jaime: the link I gave you is for the ambient light rejecting screen
• [21:22]        Jaime: you’ll get the price there
• [21:23] Doug: Ok thanks. Last question. On the first website you sent me, it lists this: Spectra White FG (fiberglass backed) matte white (1.1 Gain) and CineGrey 5D surface (1.5 gain) but I am not sure if these are choices or just all included because there is no choice under the drop down menu other than Spectra white fiberglass http://shop.elitescreens.com/starlingtension.aspx
• [21:24] Doug: Additionally, they appear to be out of stock.
• [21:24]        Jaime: those are the various options for you to choose from
• [21:25]        Jaime: if you have ambient light in the room, you will need the Cinegrey 5D material
• [21:25]        Jaime: that one has a 1.5 gain surface
• [21:27] Doug: Ok. So this sounds like a good fit.  I think I’ll go through your sales channel and get the ball rolling.  Thanks for the help
• [21:26]        Jaime: It’s my pleasure to help sir.  Thank you for choosing Elite Screens.
