Elite Screens Evanesce

Yes, because this is an in-ceiling, recessed model, it requires cutting into your ceiling joists and mounting the housing securely. We strongly recommend hiring a professional installer or a skilled contractor to ensure the housing is level and properly supported.

While the screen is compatible with most standard projectors, it is not optimized for ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors. UST projectors require specialized ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screens to prevent image distortion, whereas this MaxWhite® Fiberglass surface is designed for traditional long-throw projection.

The fiberglass backing provides superior stiffness compared to standard vinyl screens, which helps the material lay flatter and resist curling at the edges over time. It also ensures a uniform, 180-degree viewing angle, making it a reliable choice for rooms where seating is spread out.

The screen includes a 5-12 volt trigger, which allows it to automatically lower or retract whenever you turn your projector on or off. You can also use the included wall switch for a hardwired control option.

When fully retracted, only the bottom trim of the housing remains visible against your ceiling. The white-enameled aluminum finish is designed to blend in with most standard white ceilings for a clean, minimalist look.

Yes, the surface is certified for 4K Ultra HD and HDR content. Because it has a neutral gain of 1.1, it maintains accurate color reproduction and contrast without artificially brightening or dimming the image.
