Aeon CineGrey 3D, 92" Fixed Frame Projector Screen AR92DHD3

This is an EXCEPTIONAL product. i have yet to take good pictures but those will be up in the next few days while the whole system gets settled into its new location. Pros: Seemingly aircraft caliber aluminum construction frame built like a tank VERY nice attention to detail Easy installation Breathtaking "floating" screen appearance, with or without the included diffusion velvet. KILLER customer service Cons: Although on the lowest end of the ALR spectrum, it is still a considerable cost when you can buy a lower end 4k LCD with HDR at 40-49 inches for the same cost. this is just a screen. literally, a screen. its 100+ inches (102 if you don't use the included velvet) but its still a glorified screen. This is an outstanding product. I buy from online and in person retailers all the time. I would even consider myself somewhat of a tech junkie, though my budgets keep my habits somewhat in the realm of affordability. This screen performs exceptionally in every area i hoped it would, and then some. The box arrived at my home in typical amazon "how the heck did they get it here so fast?!" fashion. excited i took it up to the media room and did a quick inventory check. Immediately i noticed several things. First was the actual box. other than it being brown, this is by far the nicest box and packaging for a shipped item this large i have ever seen, even the mailman mentioned it "man this feels like a solid box here". He was spot on. the packaging is so well thought out, you would have to go through 3-4 layers of cardboard to even get to anything actually inside the box which is important when dealing with a product that is ruined by any punctures or damage whatsoever. After the box was opened (very easily i might add) i pulled out the two individual "boxes" inside and the accessories boxes as well. one has the tape, one had the right angle attaching rails and one had tools. About those tools...i don't know what made them decide to do it, but these are the nicest tools i have ever received to use with a product. i have never in my life received tools with a product that made me think "ohh I'm keeping and using this screw driver after this". this product did that. they also give you a small mallet that comes in handy and it too is of such good quality it wont just go back into the box and never be touched again, "im'a use that sucker". the material itself looks to be very high quality aluminum. i have absolutely no doubt the frame will last forever. everything that was supposed to be there was in fact there. I opened the manual to see if i needed to do anything different than the very obvious when putting it together and I'm pleased that the answer was "nope". The manual was easily understood and had a clear English section however, in case you couldn't figure any part out. the only thing i could see that would even throw anyone off would be the center support beam. Something to note, as it is installed with its top and bottom hole attached to a different kind of screw then the rest of the unit. it has a head that goes inside the inner rail on the backside of the screen. If i didn't look in the instructions, i might think it was missing something needed to install it, so if your reading this just take note of that, i read several reviews of people knocking down a star because the center support beam "didn't fit". i honestly think there's a more than good chance half of those people (prob all of them honestly) just didn't read how to actually install that section in the manual that is clearly shown. the screen attaches around the frame via Velcro. As a drummer i noticed the attachment pattern was very similar to that of a drum head, you always tighten the opposite side first and move around the frame in a pattern to easily and even tightened the screen around the back. I noticed that many of the high end companies that sell similar screens tend to attach the screen to the frame with eyelets. either snap in, or tension band attachment. for those of you concerned about the Velcro, i wouldn't be, "this sucker ain't goin' no where". Once its attached. and after thinking about it, Velcro is the obvious choice because if the screen de-tensions over time, re tension of the screen is easily done here...MUCH harder if the screen had attachment holes in the actual screen material, so i say "great choice". The wall mounts are more than adequate and come with screws for both going into a wall stud, or going into drywall safely. The screen rests on the wall mounts in a channel at the top of the frames back, so once its up, it can easily slide left and right for finer tuning placement in those directions, sorry but no up and down adjustment, in my opinion though that adjustment is completely unneeded. The screen itself took a little time to get perfect when attaching it to the frame, but no more than expected really. Once on the wall you realize "DANG, that is a BIG screen". the room i put it in is about 16 by 25 but you cant appreciate how huge a screen that's nearly 8 feet wide or bigger is until you are actually physically looking at it. I'm totally convinced that if these ALR screens were more commercially marketed with mid level projectors, that they would actually out sell regular televisions, even 4k models. for right around two grand US, you can truly achieve a mind blowing picture at an even more mind blowing size. Pairing my screen (ALR cinegrey 3d) with the Epson 3500 in a somewhat well lit room with a pretty standard ambient day room light almost made me pee myself. i was hoping beyond hope that the projector technology had improved from what i had seen years ago and would look acceptable in a somewhat well lit room (pictures to follow in the next few days)...it isn't just acceptable, it is absolutely fantastic, and envy inducing to anyone that doesn't have this kind of setup that sees it and likes "big". when the lights lower, and at night, it is breathtaking. i actually use this as my main computer monitor and i am more than pleased to say it looks better than my "old" 65 inch led. I can tell you too, that it isn't just the solid projector I'm using designed for rooms with more ambient light, but the screen as well. in fact, i would give a heavier visual "WOW" to the screen than i would to the actual projector which is outstanding too. What you have in the end is an absolute no brainer buy for anyone who is looking for a fixed frame projector screen. is the black diamond better? the high end Draper better? only until you compare cost to the elite screens, then those screens go from being slightly visually better to being WAY, WAY worse because they are thousands more. If your on the fence, don't take my word for it, get it yourself, THEN feel free to thank me if this review helped you at all.

I've projected onto a white wall for 6 years, dealing with ambient light problems. Basically the only time I got a great picture was well after sunset in a totally dark room. This screen is a game-changer, probably more important to the viewing experience than choice of projector. I will say--installation was very challenging. Not complex, but by yourself, expect at least a few hours (took me 4) to go from built screen to hung on the wall. Nothing to criticize about the process, just attaching dozens of tensioning springs to the screen material then manipulating a 135" diagonal lightweight rectangle is not for the faint of focus or dexterity. I would say the most important step is making sure before applying the border frame to have as perfect a screen flatness as possible; there can be subtle ripples that are hard to notice, and it's important to get those out before installing the final pieces of frame. The result is fantastic. I didn't apply the black border; it already has a 1 cm black bezel that sufficiently sets the image off and provides contrast. The image looks like a massive TV, not a projection, in the right light conditions. Does it eliminate ambient light problems, no. But it dramatically reduces them, so I can watch a movie anytime of day, not just after sunset (my room has bright windows with light-blocking shades, but there is light bleed into the room). I also love how it looks even when not in use, a kind of modern rectangle of grey on the wall. This is a tremendous value for what you get, and if anyone out there is wondering what the level of improvement is over just projecting on a white wall, it is substantial and well worth the price. Highly recommend!

I'm a professional installer and I always recommend Elite screens to customers who are trying to find ways to keep their overall budget under control. I think the difference between these and high end screens costing many times as much as negligible at best, and is more about people praising the picture quality of their projector, not knowing how much they wasted on a high-end screen. But this is my first high-contrast screen from Elite and so far I'm less than impressed. As I unrolled it over the frame as per their instructions, I noticed mechanical-looking circular marks on the upper and lower thirds of the material, they were obvious enough that my client passed by and asked, "Are those going to come out?". I told them I assumed they were some kind of residue from manufacturing, because of their perfectly circular nature (at least some of them), and that they would probably come off with a microfiber towel. Long story short, after fully assembling the screen and giving the material 24 hours to settle, the marks are still there, and no amount of gentle wiping, with a dry or damp microfiber towel, is remotely effecting the marks. I'm about to begin the process of asking them for replacement fabric, but I wanted to write the review ahead of time so it was on the books. This will be extremely inconvenient for me to have to replace, although I'm sure getting the replacement won't be an issue. Hopefully these marks are not a regular thing in the future. Warranty replacements are fine, but having to do it still heavily bites into my schedule and costs me time and money. Update: Forgot to get back to this. Amazon made me contact Elite directly to deal with warranty replacement, and I never heard back from Elite after asking many times for a replacement. And soon my return window had closed anyway, and I have not received a response after probably 8 attempts. Needless to say, I wanted to do everything I could to just replace the material instead of of having to dismantle and pack up the whole thing and reassemble a new one. These frameless screens are significantly more difficult to work with. All it takes is one $1000 mistake for me to bail on a company who I have probably bought 50 screens from. Why would I purchasehigher end screens from them if any concerns fall in deaf ears? Looks like I'll have to find another reasonably priced screen company on Amazon.

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this screen as it is light years ahead of the White Matte Elite screen I bought over a decade ago. This screen has allowed my JVC DLA-RS4910 Projector to truly show how great a projector it is. Contrast, contrast, contrast is what this screen provides - instead of inky black blacks, I now have true blackness when the screen goes dark. Unusually, it also makes the rest of the room go darker too which I didn't expect but which I am pleased about as it makes every image more contrasty with less light pollution. Instructions are rather poor and I had to think about how to assemble the screen despite years of working with my hands and my mechanical abilities. Eventually everything fell into place. If you have a projector GET THIS SCREEN!!!!!!!!! Pictures to come after I build some light baffling around the screen to make it more 'theater like'.

I have been using this screen (120”) for almost 5 years now & it has been great. I cast with a Benq 4K projector and the picture is great & even with the projector is off, the modern, sleek & clean look of the screen is beautiful against the wall.

This screen arrived packaged very well. It did take longer than expected to ship due to Covid slowing Amazon down. I love the micro bezel this Frame has and the aluminum build was easy to assemble and uniform tightness around the entire material. The overall build took around an hour and I think the white gloves are a nice touch and shows they are thinking about quality. I have a room with a white ceiling and the ALR did help with the reflections from the top. I did go from a 0.8 gain screen to this 1.2 and I do notice a slight decline in brightness in the corners due to the gain but That is expected with a 90 viewing angle. Overall very good screen for the price. I did end up returning the screen because I miss judged the difference in the gain and will be ordering a 1.0 Cinegrey screen with the 180 viewing angle.

I definitely should get a 130’’ or 135’’, but it takes me so much work (not because it’s hard to assembly, but for the weight and the size ) to put it onto my wall so that I don’t want to change for the correct size even the picture can’t fit the whole screen. Optoma uhz50 can project the picture up to 300’’. I have called the Optoma customer service, the smallest project distance to have a 150’’ picture is 148 inch, make sure you minus the projector’s length. Why didn’t I do that before I purchase the screen? Because I am an idiot. I bought a Cinegray 3D screen. I have to say it doesn’t work well with daylight as expected. Make sure it has enough distance with your window. I don’t have a choice maybe you do~ Or maybe I should get light filtering curtain if I need to watch it during the daytime. It works great! at night. I really enjoy my time lying on my cloud sofa watching movies or series. Hope you guys enjoy it~ The last thing I need to mention is the assembly is not difficult as I read in the other reviews before my purchase. I am a girl and I can assembly the screen with help of my friend. You definitely can do it! I found a video on YouTube but not about 150’’(there is little difference between larger size and the smaller ones). I thought I should combine the video and the instructions just because some reviews indicate the instructions have some mistakes. For me, I follow the introduction all the way through and get things down! Maybe they have updated the instructions? Thank you for watching my review~

Maybe my expectations were too high. I just put together a Epson SilverFlex Ultra ALR screen for my Ultra short throw projector and was blown away at how well it rejected ambient light and improved the image. Every light in the room was on and the image was still amazing. I was so impressed with ALR that I looked to upgrade my white Elite Screen paired with my Epson 5050ub in my theater room. Well coming from the Epson SilverFlex Ultra screen which was thick and worked amazing, the Elite Screen Cinegray 3D on the other hand looked and felt super cheap. Any wrong push or pull felt like it would permanently damage the material. Then I got it up and turned on my projector. Needless to say I'm not impressed, the screen not only didn't improve it, now the image seemed dimmer and the colors didn't pop as much. I was also able to see some hot spotting in the center, then I turned on the lights and it didn't seem to reject light at all. In fact my Elite Screen white screen seemed to look better with the lights on and off. I guess you get what you pay for. It was only $1000 for a 150 inch. It's an ok screen but the ambient light rejecting properties are slim to none. It appears to be a cheap plastic screen painted gray.

This screen delivers the big picture experience in a high quality package. Be aware that there is some hot spotting with this screen and be patient with the installation. But when everything is done right, it looks excellent.

Ich habe lange nach einer passenden Leinwand gesucht. Die Aeon Edge Free mit Cinegrey 3D Tuch hat meine Erwartungen voll und ganz erfüllt. Durch meine Projektorplatzierung und meinen üblichen Sitz/Liegeplatz (Winkel suboptimal) war ich mir nicht sicher, ob die Kontrastleinwand eine gute Wahl ist. Das Projektionsverhältnis ist mit 1,5 auch eher nieder. Aber trotzdem Funktioniert das Tuch extrem gut. Mir fällt kein Glitzern oder Hotspot im Bild auf. Der Betrachtungswinkel ist sehr gut. Die Leinwand ist zu 100% plan, wirft keine Falten und weist auch keine Mängel auf. Das einzige was erkennbar ist, aber weiter nicht stört, ist ein leichter Helligkeitsverlust zu den Rändern. Das war aber von vorne herein klar. Alles in allem kann ich die Leinwand samt Tuch sehr empfehlen!

Received an Aeon Edge Cinegrey 3D 100 inch screen from Elite Screens. It couldn't even be assembled as they clearly sent the screen material for the next screen size down - so the material could not be fitted to the frame. The use of velcro to tension the screen also seems really poor for a circa £500 product.

Excelente pantalla, me sorprendió su definición.

bought the 100" AEON screen with cinegrey 3D material. I have to say that the packaging and build quality was top notch! i read some previous reviews about some packaging issues but i think they must have really stepped it up since then. also this is the Version 2 of the AEON screen which has metal black borders as opposed to the older velvet border. A word to to the wise though keep your hands clear of the sharp metal corners or put on the corner plastic covers before trying to put up on the wall... the corners are VERY sharp and cut my finger when the screen didnt anchor properly on the wall mount and slid off. Nothing wrong with the product was my error but still be aware of the corners for your own safety.
