WUPRO CINEMA · SCREEN BUYING GUIDE
Find the right screen for your setup.
Then explore the materials that make the difference.
Find the right screen for your projector, room and viewing habits.
Your room and projector determine which materials are suitable.
Planning guidance: confirm the final projector model and supported image size before ordering.
Confirm projector support, the exact product option, installation clearance, stock and delivery.
Horizontal image angle describes how wide the image looks from your seat. It is separate from a screen material’s viewing-angle specification. Distance guidance is a starting point; adjust to your preference.
UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS
Start with your projector type. Focus on the differences that matter in your room.
Soft Grey Matte, Soft White Matte and Woven AT work with UST, short-, standard- and long-throw projectors. They are mainly used with standard / long throw; room-light control remains important.

Material characteristics are a starting point. Use the finder above to check size, installation and seating requirements together. ALR / CLR rates are model-specific; light direction and test conditions affect comparisons. Value comparisons assume the same size, installation format and market.
SEE IT IN YOUR OWN ROOM

Simple answers to the details that can change your decision.
After you order a full-size projector screen at wuprobuy.com, the refund process depends on where you purchased your A4 sample pack:
Neither is universally better. Fresnel generally offers higher gain and stronger rejection of ambient light from multiple directions. It works especially well in bright rooms with central seating, but its optimal viewing area is narrower.
Lenticular UST generally provides a wider, more even viewing area. It is often a better fit for broad seating layouts and many motorized screen designs. Motorized Fresnel designs are also possible.
Woven AT provides WUPRO’s strongest speckle suppression, with little to nearly no visible speckle. It also allows speakers behind the image, but has no ALR and its weave may be visible up close.
For standard / long throw, Lenticular LT combines low speckle with excellent contrast and light rejection. Soft Grey Matte is the balanced choice for low speckle, deeper blacks and a little ambient light. Soft White Matte, CBSP, Lenticular UST and BSP / KBSP also have low speckle.
Fresnel depends on the projector. Black Crystal and Grey Crystal can show pronounced speckle with RGB laser projectors. Test the intended material with your own projector; no material guarantees zero speckle in every setup.
The 160° specification is the rated overall viewing angle, not a promise of consistent brightness or image quality throughout that range. WUPRO lists an optimal viewing angle of 90° for this Fresnel material.
Its directional optical structure reflects more projected light toward the central viewing area, enhancing brightness, contrast and ambient light rejection. Brightness gradually decreases as viewers move farther to the sides, so the optimal viewing area is narrower than the overall range.
The half-gain angle is a separate measurement: the off-center angle where brightness drops to 50% of its peak. It is not the overall viewing angle or the optimal viewing range; the 90° optimal rating should not be read as a half-gain specification.
For the best image, choose central seating. For wider seating or multiple viewers, a Lenticular CLR screen generally provides more consistent brightness across a broader area.
Yes, but gain is only one factor. With some RGB laser projectors, higher-gain or more directional screens can make speckle more noticeable, while lower-gain or more diffusive materials may reduce it.
Surface structure and coatings can matter just as much as gain. Do not judge speckle performance by gain alone; compare the actual material and projector combination.
Yes. Fresnel screens can be engineered as motorized floor-rising or drop-down screens.
WUPRO expects to launch a motorized floor-rising Fresnel screen in late October 2026, with ordering planned through wuprobuy.com after launch. This is a planned release, not confirmation of current availability; timing may change.
The precision optical structure requires more advanced tensioning, flatness control and rolling mechanisms than conventional materials. A properly engineered design can combine effective ambient light rejection with retractable convenience.
Yes. Soft Grey Matte, Soft White Matte and Woven AT are universal options compatible with UST, short-, standard- and long-throw projection, though they are mainly used with standard / long throw.
For UST, a flat, evenly tensioned surface and accurate positioning are especially important. Control room light and check image uniformity, visible texture and speckle with your own projector. These materials are not substitutes for dedicated UST light-rejecting optics in a bright room.
ALR means ambient light rejecting. CLR emphasizes ceiling light rejection. Neither label means that all light from every direction is removed, or that a material works with every projector.
In this guide, Fresnel UST and Black Crystal are labeled ALR; CBSP, Lenticular UST, BSP / KBSP and Lenticular LT are labeled CLR. Grey Crystal is not ALR. Choose by the material’s actual optical design, projector compatibility and room lighting—not by the acronym alone.
