High contrast—the difference between the brightest white and the deepest black on the screen. The wider the range, the better the image, colors, rich textures, and shadow details. That is why theaters have traditionally been dark rooms—to keep the blacks black. Ambient light competes with projected light, washing out the image. Thinking out of the box Projectors today are powerful, producing very bright images. Manufacturers specify a contrast ratio, say 800:1 (white: black). However, this contrast ratio is measured at the projector itself, and not the viewing surface. What matters to you is the contrast ratio at the screen, since that is what you see. Ambient light (from windows, lamps, or projected light bouncing off walls or ceiling) affects the contrast at the screen. A dark room built to eliminate ambient light has long been the way to ensure an optimal image. Now, Stewart screens with active reflective coatings allow breaking out of the “dark box” and enjoying a vibrant image in any environment. Gray screen technology For environments with high ambient light, a gray screen enhances black levels, therefore improving your image contrast. However, gray alone is not enough; you need Stewart’s specialized optical coating to achieve a full range of brightness and dynamic color range. In fact, the first Stewart screen to introduce this technology, FireHawk, won more industry awards in one year than any other projection screen in history.Where you cannot control the environment, control the contrast There is no single magic screen material—every application has unique demands. Selecting the right screen involves consideration of various factors such as projector type, fixed or retractable screen, viewing angles, ambient light conditions, seating layout, and image size. Stewart offers a screen material for every environment, so let us help you determine the one that is best for you.
