Comparison of Matte White and CineGrey 3D® ALR/CLR
Intro: To be fair, most projection screen companies do a great job at making matte white materials. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. More importantly, they will present a fairly good projected image as long as you have control over ambient room lighting. The problem comes when you open the blinds or flip on the light switch. Matte white materials are washed out going from great to milky and unwatchable.
The answer is to use an Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen which may also be called a Ceiling Light Rejecting® (CLR®) projector screen. A good example is the Cinegrey3D® material that presents superb picture quality with the lights on or off. In this comparison, the CineGrey® 3D material outperformed white materials in a bright environment and still dominated with it’s ISF certified performance quality in the dark.
