Elite Screens Designer Cut Series ALR Projector Screen

The Elite Screens Designer Cut Series is a raw, pre-cut projection screen material sold for custom and DIY home theater installations. This 135-inch, 16:9 aspect ratio sheet uses Elite's CineGrey 3D material with a 1.2 gain and true ambient light rejection, meaning it actively filters out stray room light to maintain image contrast and color accuracy. The material is also acoustically transparent thanks to its angular weaved, perforated construction, allowing home theater builders to position speakers directly behind the screen without any sound degradation — a significant advantage for creating a clean, professional-looking setup.

Because this is material only, it is designed for users who want to build a custom frame or integrate the screen into an existing architectural feature. The screen ships rolled in a tube to prevent creasing, and it supports resolutions up to 8K Ultra HD as well as Active 3D projection. One important consideration is that the acoustically transparent construction may allow light to pass through from behind, so depending on your room setup, a separate black backing material may be necessary. Elite Screens backs the product with a 2-year warranty (extendable to 3 years through their ENR-G program) and offers lifetime technical support via phone, email, or web chat — a useful resource for DIY installers working through their first custom screen build.
