Why is there an “E” with a number at the end of an electric screen’s product number? (ex. E8, E12, E24…)

This discussion explains how to identify electric projection screens that have extra black masking material at the top of the screen. It also gives great product recommendations for suitable products.

[16:30] Rick: Hello, how may I help you.

[16:31] Customer: looking for a large projector screen that I can mount in the ceiling grid above the ceiling in a conference room, what do you recommend above 120″ I see that some of these larger screens have part numbers that end with “E8, E12, E24” What does that mean?

[16:34] Rick: we have a recessed screen that is up to 120″ in a 16:9 format https://elitescreens.com/front/front/productdetail/product/126  we do have larger screen up to 135″ diagonal that you may use a in ceiling trim kit as well.  The “E” designation indicates the number of extra inches in drop on the black masking at the top of the screen.

[16:34] Rick: VMAX2 screen: https://elitescreens.com/front/front/productdetail/product/57

[16:34] Rick: universal trim kit: https://elitescreens.com/front/front/productdetail/product/267

[16:36] Customer: how much extra material do they have to drop the screen down

[16:38] Rick: We have a few models that drop about 8″, or 12″ the model will end with a (E#) this will tell you the drop.  So E8 means 8” top masking border. E12 means 12” top masking border. Standard screen drops about 4 inches at the top masking.

[16:39] Customer: Okay so “E” is for the “extra inches in the top black masking, got it. So, the 1st option you sent me is the largest true above ceiling set up

[16:41] Rick: From that series yes.

[16:41] Rick: we do have this series with larger screen sizes.

[16:42] Rick: https://elitescreens.com/front/front/productdetail/product/124

[16:43] Customer: I was looking at those, do they need a trim kit or are they true above ceiling mounts

[16:44] Rick: they are true above ceiling mount, no trim kit needed.

[16:45] Customer: ok that’s what I’m looking for, i see what you mean, the 180″ says E12 so that means it has an extra 12″ of material and the 200″ has 6″

[16:46] Rick: correct.

[16:47] Customer: perfect…. thank you, I will see if that’s what my customer wants thanks
