Amazon's HIGHEST RATED ALR Screen Put to the Test!

Quick Overview

The Amazon's highest-rated Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen, the NothingProjector 100-inch motorized screen rated 4.9 stars, performs adequately in a bright living room with ambient light (100% brightness) but excels significantly in a dark bedroom environment, achieving black levels comparable to an OLED TV.

Key Points: The review tests the NothingProjector 100-inch motorized ALR screen, which currently holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Amazon. In a bright living room with ambient light (ceiling lights at 100% brightness), the image quality is watchable but not impressive, proving the screen's limitation in highly lit environments. When ambient light is reduced to 30% in the living room, the image quality improves noticeably. In the completely dark bedroom environment, the screen's performance is excellent, achieving black levels that rival an OLED TV. The reviewer notes that the screen is not ideal for daytime viewing unless external light sources are blocked, as demonstrated by covering a window with sound-dampening material. The projector used for testing is the AWOL Vision's Atherion (UST option), which is placed exactly 7 magtile squares from the screen on either side to achieve the correct throw ratio. The reviewer rates the screen a '2' out of 10 for viewing performance in bright daylight (living room with 100% lights on) but rates it a '2' out of 10 for its black levels in a dark room (bedroom with lights off), indicating that the screen excels in dark environments.

Context: The video conducts a real-world performance test on the highly-rated NothingProjector 100-inch motorized Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen, which is designed to improve image contrast and black levels when used with Ultra Short Throw (UST) projectors, especially in rooms with ambient light. The reviewer compares the screen's performance in two different settings: a bright living room with significant natural light and a dark bedroom environment, using the AWOL Vision Atherion UST projector for all tests.
