Screen Innovations Black Diamond Zero Edge G2

The Black Diamond material is engineered to reject ambient light from above and below, which significantly boosts contrast by over 900%. While a standard white screen reflects all light equally, this screen focuses on reflecting only the projector's light, making it highly effective in rooms with windows or non-dimmable lighting.

The screen uses an adjustable flying cable system that requires precise tensioning to ensure the frame remains perfectly flat and clear of the image. While a handy DIYer can manage the installation, it is a delicate process that often benefits from professional assistance to ensure the frame is perfectly level and the tension is set correctly.

Yes, the Zero Edge design eliminates the traditional thick frame found on most projection screens, leaving only a very thin aluminum structure. When the screen is off, it has a sleek, minimalist appearance that closely mimics the aesthetic of a large, high-end flat-panel television.

The optional LED kit provides 360-degree perimeter lighting that attaches to the back of the frame. It is controlled via an included IR remote, allowing you to choose from 256,000 colors and nine different dynamic effects like fading or scanning to create ambient mood lighting behind the screen.

The Black Diamond material is designed to work with most standard-throw projectors. However, because it is an ambient light-rejecting screen, it is best paired with a projector that has sufficient brightness to take full advantage of the contrast-enhancing properties of the surface.
