New rear projection screen boosts performance with modern high-performance projectors

dnp unveils the latest in rear projection, the dnp Zenith Screen line, at ISE Amsterdam (1-3 February 2011). The Zenith Screen is designed to enhance performance in combination with modern, high-performance projectors.

In recent years, brighter, more powerful projectors have become available. This has given rise to new challenges, such as how to prevent hot-spots showing up on the screen and, at the same time, improve contrast and brightness uniformity and balancing viewing angles. Designed as a complement to modern, high-performance projectors, dnp’s new Zenith Screen meets these challenges head-on.

dnp Global Sales Manager, Søren Kræmmergaard, says the new screen is an ideal match for the latest projectors: “The fully balanced image gives optimal ‘eye-gonomics’, the vital viewing comfort that’s crucial to the usability of display systems.”

Key to this is the screen’s improved contrast and uniformity. Søren continues, “We’ve achieved this with a gain of 2.2, along with more tint and an anti-glare surface that minimises reflected ambient light. In particular, the improved uniformity eliminates the distracting hot-spot often observed with today’s high-lumens projectors.”

Tests with a Christie projector delivered even better image quality than expected, making the Zenith Screen ideal for the most demanding of rear projection applications.

And of course, the new Zenith Screen line still gives users all the advantages you would expect of rear projection installation: a neat, totally flush screen surface, silent operation, top-quality images and no risk of shadows from people moving around in front of the screen.

The dnp Zenith Screen line is designed for the 100”-plus market; especially for TV studios, conference rooms, home entertainment and multiple screen installations, i.e. simulation or control rooms, where high-quality images are essential even in unfavourable lighting conditions.

The new Zenith Screen is available in widths up to 4m/159” with heights corresponding to standard aspect ratios.
