Transcripts:
- [21:52] Customer: Hi
- [21:52] Rick: hello, how may I help you.
- [21:53] Customer: I am looking for Elite Screens Aeon CineGrey 110 inch
- [21:53] Customer: do you have in stock?
- [21:53] Customer: what is the price?
- [21:53] Customer: For 120 inch
- [21:54] Customer: AR120H2 or AR110H2
- [21:54] Rick: This is the model for the matte grey material. We also have an ambient light rejecting (more reflective) gray material.
- [21:55] Customer: Yes, let’s focus on the matte grey for now.
- [21:55] Rick: One moment as I check for availability for both.
- [21:56] Rick: Just to clarify, the 120s are in stock but a new order for the 110-inch models are coming in next week.
- [21:56] Customer: ok
- [21:56] Rick: Are you looking into ambient light reflective or just the grey to enhance contrast?
- [21:56] Customer: Just grey
- [21:57] Customer: I have an LG ultra-short throw projector
- [21:57] Rick: If you are going to use an ultra-short throw projector, use only a matte material or one of our specialized CLR® models that can reject ambient light for UST projectors exclusively.
- [21:58] Customer: LG PF1000UW
- [21:58] Rick: Yes, this is an ultra-short throw projector. Stick to a tensioned material (fix frame preferred) and choose either a matte white or grey if you have control over your room lighting or use an ambient light rejecting material that is specifically made for UST projectors as our Aeon CLR® is.
- [21:58] Customer: Please suggest the best screen for above projector. What are your thoughts?
- [22:00] Rick: With this screen the standard matte white will work great with this projector it’s all on your preference. Matte grey helps in enhancing black-white dynamic range but I still recommend the CLR material as your best bet. It not only looks great when there is ambient light but it also looks good
- [22:01] Customer: ok, any learning tips on this?
