Silver Ticket STR-169120 120-inch 16:9 Fixed Frame (White 1.1 gain)
The long-running value benchmark for fixed-frame screens: a flat, color-neutral 1.1-gain vinyl surface on a velvet-wrapped aluminum frame, with a tension-rod system that makes assembly simple.
- 120-inch 16:9
- Matte white, 1.1 gain
- Fixed frame, 2.4-inch velvet bezel
- 160-degree viewing cone
Wirecutter has recommended this line for years because the surface measures color-neutral with no hotspotting and the frame goes together with a tension-rod system rather than springs. It costs a fraction of a premium fixed frame and gives up almost nothing in a dark room.
Watch out: A 1.1-gain white screen has no ambient light rejection, so it needs a dark or dimmed room.
Pros
- Flat, neutral surface at a low price
- Simple tension-rod assembly
- Many sizes and materials in the same line
Cons
- No ambient light rejection
- Not for UST projectors
- Thin velvet bezel can show frame edges
