| - Motorized Screen. Installed in one fixed location. | | | | Grey Vinyle |
| Press remote to use screen. | | | | PVC screen surface, with effective scattering angle |
| - Manual pull down Screen. Installed in one fixed | | | | more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient |
| location. Pull down screen to use. | | | | (more than 0.82), high contrast, wide viewing angle, soft |
| - Pull-up Screen. Can also be carried around | | | | light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable |
| Step 2 : What type of AV format do you want? | | | | physical parameter, less attenuation, flat and free of |
| - 1:1 | | | | smell. Odorless. |
| - 4:3 like TV and PC monitors | | | | White Vinyle |
| - 16:9 like movie screens | | | | PVC screen surface, with effective scattering angle |
| Step 3: What color screen do you want? | | | | more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient |
| - White | | | | (more than 0.90), fine color rendition, high contrast, wide |
| - Gray. | | | | viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long |
| White Screen vs. Gray Screen debate. It is said that | | | | viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation, flat |
| Gray projection screens absorb ambient light better. | | | | and free of smell. Odorless. |
| There is greater contrast because black colors seem | | | | Step 5 : What screen size do you want? |

| Glass Beaded. High brightness, gain of more than 2.9, | | | | If you want a 4:3 format, width is Diagonal times .60 |
| effective scattering angle more than 32, high contrast | | | | (W = Diagonal x .60) |
| and resolution, fine color rendition, excellent vision. | | | | If you want a 16:9 format, width is Diagonal times .49 |
| Reflective beads are air-isolated and durably attached | | | | (W = Diagonal x .49) |
