The Hook Up | Ultimate UST Projector Screen Comparison - 8 CLR/ALR Screens Tested and Reviewed @TheHookUp | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
How much difference does a projector screen make? Is there a big difference between a $400 screen and a $1300 screen? I tested 8 ultra short throw projector screens to see which one had the best brightness, contrast, black levels, clarity, and ambient light rejection.
