What is the difference between Tensioned and Non-Tensioned Screen Material?
* Tension material provides a flatter screen surface and for better uniformity and even light distribution without waving or
curving on the projection surface. These problems could be caused by temperature variations in multiple layer materials.
Newer non-tensioned materials such as our MaxWhite or MaxWhite FG have greatly reduced occurrences of this flaw to
the point of arguably matching its flatness in some cases. Some prefer non-tensioned due to aesthetics but tension still
generally has superior flatness.
How many Aspect Ratios are out there?
There are quite a few. Here are the most common.
