Nothing Projector Black Series ALR/CLR Ultra Short Throw Projector Screen

Firstly I ordered my 120" Black Series ALR screen during the Black Friday week, but before the Black Friday/Christmas discount had been applied. I contacted Jennie and she agreed to apply a refund for the discount amount, which was great. Having already received my UST Projector, I was keen to get my screen. I thought that the screen would be shipped from the EU, however it turned out that it was actually shipped from China. That said, delivery was pretty prompt and after around a week, I received a tracking number and the screen arrived just 2-3 days after that.

Building and mounting the screen does require some care, time and patience, but the process itself was fairly straight forward - i.e. build the inner frame, lay it on the screen material (using the white marks), tension the screen material with the hooks (in the easy to follow order they lay out), add the external frame pieces & supports and finally attach the wall brackets and hang.

I purchased a Nexigo Aurora Pro UST and the image quality on this screen is just outstanding. Even with the curtains open or the lights on, the image barely degrades and overall it just blew me away! I would recommend this combination all day long for Film/TV watching and Gaming. I've attached a few pics from Top Gun Maverick playing on it via 4k Blu Ray.

I have assembled and mounted a ton of screens and this one was by far the easiest to build and the wall mounting brackets were the best application I have seen. The bottom hooks are tensioned by springs and are super flexible! Everything turned out perfect and I’m super happy I went with the black ALR. Stop looking and just buy this screen. Its worth it!

I recently was in the market for a screen to pair with my new UST (AWOL LTV-3500). I ordered a sample materials kit from another company which included about a dozen of different material types. I also ordered a sample of ALR material from Nothing Projector (based on great reviews). Despite the fact that my projector is in a loft, which allows a lot of daytime light from under bedroom doors, the staircase, etc., I was hoping that I could get away with a non-ALR material since most of my use would be at night. After comparing them all, I decided that the ALR screen was the way to go despite the higher cost. In a perfectly light controlled room, you can get away with a traditional white or grey screen, but if you plan on doing any daytime viewing, the increased contrast you get from an ALR screen is incredible when compared side-by-side. Additionally, the ALR material from the other company (while cheaper) introduced a blue hue to the picture that I wasn't crazy about. The Nothing Projector screen was a perfect middle ground with excellent black levels while not muting peak brightness too much and maintaining good color accuracy.

The Good:
1) The ALR screen makes my projector very usable even in daylight hours. The pictures attached were all taken during daytime. In one the blackout curtains are closed which makes a huge difference, but even with the curtains open, it's very watchable.
2) With the curtains drawn, the colors absolutely pop and it's not too far off from a TV experience picture-wise.

The Great:
1) Customer Service was incredible. I had a bunch of questions before ordering and they responded very promptly to every one.
2) When I first ordered my projector, I had measured everything around a 120" screen. However, when I first set it up against the wall, 120" just wasn't giving me the WOW factor I was hoping for. With my room only having 8' ceilings, a 150" screen wasn't going to fit. I reached out and asked customer service if they'd ever considered a screen size between those. Less than an hour later, I was emailed a link and a 135" option was added to the website. I have no idea if they always made this size and just didn't have it on the website or if it was specifically added to the product line due to my request, but either way absolutely incredible!

The Not So Good:
1) Ok the only reason my review is 4 stars instead of 5. I knew from reading forums that any screen size over 120" would have a seam where the material would have to be joined. However, I was told by customer service that this seam would be barely noticeable and absolutely invisible once everything was on. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but the seam which appears as a black line running the length of the screen about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom is definitely not invisible from my viewing distance (about 11'). During dark scenes it's barely noticeable, but during bright scenes, I can absolutely see it and I do find it a little bit distracting. For me, the tradeoff is worth it to have the larger screen I was looking for, but I just wanted to note that your mileage may very for how distracting you find this.
2) Delivery took a bit longer than I hoped. I was told to expect 17 days from order to delivery. In reality, it took 27 days. Not a huge deal at all, but worth noting.

All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend Nothing Projector to a friend. Now, back to the movies!

The delivery from the European warehouse was fast. Installation of the screen was quite easy. Only outer frame. was a bit tight to get in place for some reason. Maybe I left a bit too much gap somewhere in the earlier installation stage. Installation was single person job expect for hanging the screen on the wall. I think it helped a bit to test the actual wall installation and check the brackets were on correct positions with empty frame first (without the canvas) at early stage. At least this way it is easy to prevent any damage to the canvas when you have practiced first.

The screen itseft is great. Now the watching with projector is so much better even on a daylight than on the painted wall. Images are completely perfect and ambient light does not infer quality at all. We have Epson LS800 as a projector and it's light output is sufficient for any situation.

I recently purchased this screen and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in many ways. The material is very easy to scratch, so I would advise being cautious while handling it. However, the screen itself performs remarkably well.

One of the most impressive features is that there is absolutely no light leakage to the ceiling, and minimal to the rest of the room. Unlike my previous screen, which allowed light to reflect on the white ceiling and light grey walls, this ALR screen creates a truly immersive viewing experience.

The screen's contrast has been significantly enhanced, making it appear much closer to LCD/OLED displays. The black bars around the image are remarkably dark, adding to the premium feel of my home theater setup.

Although it took a few weeks to arrive, the customer service team kept me updated via email, which was reassuring.

As I continue to use the screen, I've noticed that the viewing experience keeps getting better. I typically sit about 9 feet away, and the only minor drawback I've encountered is a slight reflective shimmer during animated scenes, specifically with solid red colors. However, this is hardly noticeable unless you're actively looking for it.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The screen's performance, lack of light leakage, and improved contrast have truly transformed my viewing experience. I would highly recommend this screen to any home theater enthusiast.
