Elite Screens Dark Star SE

Dark Star Special Edition

The Special Edition DarkStar by EPV Screens provides reference grade video performance in either a dark room or rooms with high levels of interior lighting. Instead of the image washout common with typical matte-white projection screens, the SE DarkStar blocks illumination from overhead or off-axis light sources for a bold, bright, crystal-clear image even in the most challenging spaces. When shownn under optimal cinematic lighting conditions, the material lives up to its ISF certification by the world-renowned Imaging Science Foundation.

The projection surface is bordered by a 2.3" (59.4 mm) thick aluminum frame that is coated in hand-wrapped velvet. The DarkStar 9 screen i sa composite, multi-layer material designed to reject ambient light away from the viewer's field of vision. This composite material eliminates the washout effect which destroys matte white imagery under bright room lighting conditions. The Dark Star 9 material attaches to the frame using a spring and grommet construction that ensures perfect uniform flatness. In addition to absorbing overhead ceiling light, the DarkStar 9's black diffusion layer provides high-contrast performance to enhance color saturation, contrast and black level dynamic range.
