Elite Screens ETB115HD5-E8 Evanesce Tab-Tension ALR Projector Screen

The Elite Screens Evanesce ETB115HD5-E8 is a 115-inch, in-ceiling motorized projection screen built around CineGrey 5D angular-reflective ALR material — a screen surface engineered specifically for installations where ambient light control is incomplete. At 1.5 gain with an 80-degree viewing angle, the CineGrey 5D rejects off-axis ceiling and ambient light while directing the projector's output toward the seated audience, producing contrast levels in mixed-light environments that a standard white screen cannot achieve. The tab-tension system runs tensioned cables along both side edges of the screen, holding the 100.4-inch-wide surface flat under its own weight — essential at this diagonal size where an untensioned screen would develop visible undulation that distorts projected geometry.

The in-ceiling recessed installation is the signature design feature: when the screen is raised, it disappears entirely into the ceiling cavity, leaving no visual indication of a projection system in the room. The quiet tubular motor deploys and retracts the screen smoothly, and the included IR and RF remotes handle basic control — but the 5-12V projector trigger input is where this screen earns its place in integrated AV environments, enabling fully automated deployment tied directly to projector state. GREENGUARD GOLD certification and NFPA 701 flame retardant compliance confirm this is a screen built to specification for permanent installation in occupied commercial and residential spaces, not a consumer-grade product that happens to be large.
