AWOL Vision is raising the ceiling for ultra-short-throw (UST) projection with the launch of its new 150-inch Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen. Measuring an expansive 334.90 cm x 190 cm, it ranks among the largest ambient-light-rejecting screens ever engineered specifically for UST projectors.

As appetite grows for genuinely immersive viewing across residential, commercial, and professional environments, AWOL Vision is tackling one of large-format projection’s most persistent challenges: preserving contrast, brightness, and image uniformity at extreme sizes under real-world lighting conditions. By scaling its proven Fresnel optical architecture to a full 150 inches, the company aims to deliver true “lights-on” viewing—without compromising image consistency or perceived brightness.

Precision-Engineered for Large-Format Performance

Producing an ALR screen at this size demands exceptionally tight manufacturing tolerances. At the core of AWOL Vision’s design is a precision-engineered Fresnel layer combined with advanced light-management coatings. Together, they selectively reflect light from the UST projector while aggressively rejecting ambient light from overhead and side sources.

The result is a noticeable boost in perceived contrast, improved midtone clarity, and preserved shadow detail—even in spaces that aren’t fully darkened. The screen itself is built on an optical-grade PET substrate, selected for its dimensional stability, optical clarity, and durability. This makes it suitable not only for premium home cinema installations, but also for commercial and professional environments where long-term flatness, scratch resistance, and environmental resilience are critical.

Built for Homes—and Beyond

While high-end home theatre remains a core use case, the screen’s modular construction supports flexible wall and frame mounting options, opening the door to a wide range of applications. These include showrooms, executive boardrooms, education spaces, exhibitions, and immersive installations—scenarios where LED walls can be prohibitively expensive and conventional projection often struggles in the presence of ambient light.

“The message from both consumers and professionals is clear—there’s a huge demand for large-scale projection solutions that feel cinematic without requiring a fully blacked-out room,” said Andy Zhao, Founder and CEO of AWOL Vision. “Our new 150-inch Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen gives installers and end users the optical performance they need to achieve exactly that, whether in a bespoke home theatre or a dynamic commercial environment.”

Optimised for UST Projectors

The 150-inch screen has been developed in tandem with AWOL Vision’s UST projector lineup, including its newly launched flagship Aetherion Max. This ensures precise optical alignment, consistent performance, and a more straightforward installation process.

Both the new screen and the Aetherion Max will make their European debut at ISE 2026 at the Barcelona Expo (Hall 5, Level 0 – Stand 5Q300), running from 3rd–6th February 2026.

Availability and Pricing

The AWOL Vision 150-inch Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen is scheduled to begin shipping in March 2026, with a retail price of €4,999.
