Transcripts:

[18:33] Rick: Hello, how may I help you.
[18:41] Customer: I recently purchased a Cinewhite screen but I more ambient light in my place than I realized. I would like the CineGrey 5d screen but I was wondering if that can be purchased without the frame since I already have that at home assembled?
[18:42] Customer: I have more ambient light in my room than a matte white screen can handle.
[18:42] Rick: What model is your current screen.
[18:43] Customer: It’s the Aeon edgeless Cinewhite 100 inch diagonal.
[18:43] Customer: Is there some kind of comparison article or sheet to show the difference on this?
[18:47] Rick: Actually, there is. Here is a very informative video – https://elitescreens.com/elitetube/MatteWhite_CineGrey3D_CompVideo_Web.mp4

[18:48] Customer: Great, so are there any special rules to setting up a specialty product like the Cinegrey 3D/5D?
[18:50] Customer: …and what are the main differences between the Cinegrey 3D & Cinegrey 5D?
[18:52] Rick: Yes the 3D is ambient light with a 1.2 gain but has a wider viewing angle.
[18:52] Rick: The 5D is brighter (1.5 gain) but has a narrower viewing angle. Also, here is a video on properly setting up an ALR screen – https://elitescreens.com/elitetube/ALR_SETUP_GUIDE_VIDEO.mp4
