Screen Material FAQ

How do I know which material fits my screen model?

Choose a product family or exact product in the finder. The page will show only material names recorded for that model in the current MGF specifications.

Can the same material be used on every projection screen?

No. Material availability depends on the screen format and model. Confirm the exact screen, material and current sample before ordering.

Should I choose ALR material for every bright room?

Not automatically. Review the direction of room light, projector type and placement, image size and seating positions as one system.

When should I consider an acoustically transparent surface?

Consider it when speakers need to sit behind the image. The audio layout, viewing distance, frame and current material sample should be reviewed together.

Need help confirming a screen material?

Send the product, room, projector, image size and audio layout so MGF can review the available material direction.
