Home theater projection is migrating out of the “dark room in the back” and coming into the central living space of today’s homes. This residential installation in Huntington Beach demonstrates how an ambient light rejecting material. There are a variety of ambient light rejecting (ALR) materials on the market today that mitigate the washout effects of ambient light so that the projected image will be bright and clear regardless if its night time or a bright sunny day. The Polar Star® material has earned the designation of “CLR®” or ceiling light rejecting due to its added capability of rejecting up to 85% of overhead light.
Reviewer Feedback:
Gil Ortiz, a resident of Huntington Beach, California was so proud of his new projection system. He started off by stating why he wanted the screen in the first place. “One of the reasons why I went with a projection-based system is the fact that I wanted to watch the Steelers games on a Sunday morning on a very big screen. What this screen allows me to do is to watch Sunday Football in the daytime, Monday night football and Thursday night football.” When asked what the primary selling point were that inspired him to reach out to our video team, he said that the product sales boilerplate said it all. “The Polar Star® screen is an ambient light rejecting screen that allows me to watch (projection screen) TV in any light conditions without degradation of the picture. Their screens are ISF certified, have a 1.3 gain (brightness), and has accurate color balance and minimal hot-spotting.” There are additional features included with the screen. Among them is an LED backlighting kit that that transforms the screen into a stylish source of mood lighting even when it’s not in use. “One of the things I like about the Polar Star® eFinity screen is the fact that it comes with an LED (backlighting) kit free of charge. “The LED kit allows you change (the backlighting) to many different colors depending to the mood you want.” In conclusion, Gil gave a very favorable assessment of the product. “I absolutely love it; I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a big screen at the right price, that you could watch day or night; football, baseball, basketball, you name it, EPV Screens really gives you a great value.”
