Elite Screens Sable Frame B2 120-inch 16:9 Fixed Frame (SB120WH2)
Elite's ISF-certified CineWhite UHD-B surface adds a little gain over the Silver Ticket STR without narrowing the viewing cone, on a wider 2.75-inch velvet frame that hides overscan and reads more finished on the wall. It is also rated for UST and short-throw projectors, which the STR is not.
- 120-inch 16:9
- CineWhite UHD-B, 1.3 gain
- Fixed frame, 2.75-inch velvet bezel
- Black backed, 180-degree viewing
CineWhite UHD-B is ISF certified for color neutrality and its 1.3 gain gives a lamp or LED projector roughly 20 percent more brightness than a 1.1 surface without a visible hotspot. The frame is wider and deeper than the Silver Ticket STR, which hides projector overscan better, and the black backing stops wall color bleeding through.
Watch out: Spring tensioning takes two people and patience, and a 1.3-gain vinyl can show mild hotspotting with a UST mounted very low.
Pros
- ISF-certified surface with a little extra gain
- Wide 2.75-inch velvet bezel hides overscan
- Rated for UST, short and standard throw
Cons
- Spring tensioning is fiddlier than tension rods
- No ambient light rejection
- Slightly pricier than the Silver Ticket STR
