Overview

The Elite Screens ER122H-SB9 Sable Frame StarBright 9 is a 122-inch diagonal, 16:9 fixed-frame projector screen built for viewers who want a large projected image without requiring a fully blacked-out room. Its defining feature is the StarBright 9 ambient light rejecting screen material, which uses an optical layer to selectively reflect light coming from the projector's direction while absorbing stray light from windows, lamps, and overhead fixtures. The result is noticeably higher contrast and color saturation in everyday living spaces compared to a conventional matte white screen.

The screen ships with a lightweight aluminum frame wrapped in black velvet, which serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose — the velvet absorbs any projector light that spills past the screen boundary, sharpening the perceived edge of the image. Because this is a fixed-frame design, the screen surface remains perfectly flat and uniformly tensioned at all times, eliminating the waves and curling that can affect retractable screens. Installation is wall-mounted and essentially permanent, so it is best suited to dedicated home theaters, media rooms, or conference spaces where the screen will stay in place long-term. At 122 inches, it delivers a genuinely large image that can rival commercial cinema screens in smaller rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

StarBright 9 is an ambient light rejecting (ALR) material that absorbs off-axis light from room sources while reflecting projector light back to the viewer. This produces a higher-contrast image in rooms that are not fully darkened, unlike standard white screens that reflect all light equally.
Yes, the Sable Frame series requires some assembly. The aluminum frame sections snap together and the screen material attaches via a tensioning system. Most users complete setup in under an hour.
Throw distance depends on your projector's lens and zoom range, not the screen itself. Consult your projector's throw ratio calculator using the 122-inch diagonal and 16:9 aspect ratio to determine the correct placement distance.
Yes, the 2.3-inch velvet-wrapped frame absorbs light overshoot from the projector, creating a clean edge and enhancing perceived contrast by eliminating light bleed around the image.
ALR screens like the StarBright 9 are generally optimized for standard and long-throw projectors that project light from the front. Ultra-short-throw projectors cast light from a steep angle that may conflict with the ALR material's rejection properties — check Elite Screens' compatibility guidance before pairing.
