Screen Innovations Announces New Lower Gain Slate Screen

Screen Innovations (SI), the purveyors of innovation in the two-piece projection industry, has again changed the game by offering the first ambient-light screen that’s massive and black in color—Slate® .8. Since it’s introduction, in 2013, Slate® has taken the middle market by storm by delivering amazing contrast, clarity, and color reproduction in brightly lit environments. The new, black Slate .8 gain screen (along with Slate 1.2 gain) features SI’s largest, most versatile ambient-light-rejecting screen technology to date, and is available in sizes of up to a 250 inches (diagonal) in Zero Edge® FLEX, Fixed, and Motorized screen formats.

Made in the USA, Slate® was invented in 2013 as an affordable alternative to Screen Innovations’ legendary, award-winning Black Diamond® screen technology. Slate® delivers stunning images and a fully immersive entertainment experience by rejecting 65% of a room’s ambient light, vs. a white or grey screen’s rejection of less than 10%.

“We will stop at nothing to fulfill the needs of our customers. During testing, Slate .8 caused our beta partners to think beyond the former capabilities of their projectors,” said Ryan Gustafson, chief designer, founder, and president of SI. “Our dealers are installing Slate .8 in well-lit rooms, and experiencing black levels and improved contrast that were unimaginable a year ago. SI employees, motivated by our enthusiastic beta partners’ response, are pushing the boundaries of two-piece projection every day, creating major industry advancements. Slate .8 is the first massive, ambient-light black screen in the world that has created a paradigm shift for large screen projection applications. Innovation is in our DNA.”

Slate® is made from a flexible, multiparticle optic material that delivers a 55% increase in contrast over its nearest competitor, and is designed to blend flawlessly with the décor of any environment.
