Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of screen do you use for a UST projector?

If you’re looking for a screen to use with a UST projector, you have a few different options to choose from. The most common type of screen is a fixed frame screen, which is designed to be mounted on a wall or ceiling. These screens are available in a variety of sizes, and they typically have a white or grey surface that’s designed to reflect light evenly.

Another option is a portable screen, which is ideal if you need to set up and take down your screen frequently. Portable screens are typically made from fabric, and they can be rolled up for easy storage. These screens are typically less expensive than fixed frame screens, but they’re not as durable.

Finally, you can also find UST projection screens that are designed for use outdoors. These screens are made from weather-resistant materials, and they typically have a black surface that helps to reduce glare. Outdoor screens are ideal for use in parks or other public spaces, but they can be more expensive than other types of screens.

Do UST projectors need ALR screen?

If you’re looking for a top-notch projector with an excellent picture, you’ve probably considered a UST projector. UST projectors are known for their extremely short throw distance, which means they can be placed very close to a screen or wall and still produce a large, clear image. But do UST projectors need an ALR screen to perform their best?

The answer is: it depends. If you’re using your UST projector for business or educational purposes, an ALR screen can definitely help to reduce glare and improve clarity. However, if you’re using your projector for home entertainment, you may not need an ALR screen – although it can still improve the picture quality.

Ultimately, it’s up to you whether or not you want to use an ALR screen with your UST projector. If you’re not sure, we recommend trying it out with and without an ALR screen to see which setup works better for you.

Are ALR screens worth it?

There’s no easy answer when it comes to whether or not an ambient light rejection (ALR) screen is worth the investment. It really depends on a variety of factors, including how much ambient light is in your viewing environment, what kind of projector you’re using, and what your budget is. That said, an ALR screen can definitely be worth the investment if you find that ambient light is a constant issue in your viewing environment.

ALR screens work by rejecting ambient light, which means that you’ll be able to see your projector’s image more clearly, even in rooms with lots of windows or overhead light fixtures. Of course, ALR screens come at a premium price, so you’ll need to weigh your options and decide if the benefits are worth the extra cost. If you’re using a lower-end projector, you might not notice as much of a difference with an ALR screen, so it might not be worth the splurge.

But if you have a higher-end projector and ambient light is a constant issue, an ALR screen can help you get the most out of your investment.

Can you use a regular projector screen with UST projector?

If you’ve ever shopped for a projector, you’ve probably noticed that there are two main types of projectors: short throw and ultra short throw (UST). Short throw projectors can be placed closer to a screen or wall than traditional projectors, and UST projectors can be placed even closer. But what if you already have a projector screen?

Can you use it with a UST projector? The answer is maybe. It depends on the size of your screen and the throw ratio of your projector.

The throw ratio is the ratio of the distance from the projector to the screen to the width of the image. For example, if your projector has a throw ratio of 1.5 and you’re projecting onto a 100″ screen, you’ll need to place the projector about 150″ away from the screen. If your screen is too small, you’ll end up with a distorted image.

And if your screen is too large, you’ll end up with a lot of unused space. So it’s important to choose a screen that’s the right size for your projector. As for the throw ratio, most UST projectors have a throw ratio of 0.8 or less.

This means that they can be placed much closer to the screen than traditional projectors. So if you have a screen with a standard 16:9 aspect ratio, you should be able to use it with a UST projector.
