It's Time For Your Projection Screen To Come Out Of The Dark

Experience your movies the way they were meant to be, without hiding in a dark cave of a room. While many projectors and projection screens need to be installed in the dark so ambient light won't create a "washout" effect, Draper's High Performance XS850E not only offers superior ambient light rejection capability, it also features precise resolution, high contrast, a vivid color palette, and a remarkably broad viewing cone. You will be immersed in your favorite movies, because the High Performance XS850E viewing surface gives a beautiful bright image in the dark or with ambient light, in sizes up to four times the size of a 60" TV! Unlike competitors' products, though, you see the same great image off axis, and the contrast levels are excellent in all conditions. High Performance XS850E is available on Draper's Onyx fixed screen.
