Measuring an expansive <strong data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"517\">334.90 cm x 190 cm<\/strong>, it ranks among the largest ambient-light-rejecting screens ever engineered specifically for UST projectors.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"1124\">As appetite grows for genuinely immersive viewing across residential, commercial, and professional environments, AWOL Vision is tackling one of large-format projection\u2019s 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 \u201clights-on\u201d viewing\u2014without compromising image consistency or perceived brightness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"1124\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-22884 aligncenter\" title=\"ISE 2026 Press Release 150in UST screen with Aetherion projector banner\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/technewscentury.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ISE-2026-Press-Release-150in-UST-screen-with-Aetherion-projector-banner.jpg?resize=758%2C414&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ISE 2026 Press Release 150in UST screen with Aetherion projector banner\" width=\"758\" height=\"414\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1179\">Precision-Engineered for Large-Format Performance<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1536\">Producing an ALR screen at this size demands exceptionally tight manufacturing tolerances. At the core of AWOL Vision\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"2039\">The result is a noticeable boost in perceived contrast, improved midtone clarity, and preserved shadow detail\u2014even in spaces that aren\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2071\">Built for Homes\u2014and Beyond<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2501\">While high-end home theatre remains a core use case, the screen\u2019s 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\u2014scenarios where LED walls can be prohibitively expensive and conventional projection often struggles in the presence of ambient light.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2503\" data-end=\"2950\">\u201cThe message from both consumers and professionals is clear\u2014there\u2019s a huge demand for large-scale projection solutions that feel cinematic without requiring a fully blacked-out room,\u201d said <strong data-start=\"2692\" data-end=\"2737\">Andy Zhao, Founder and CEO of AWOL Vision<\/strong>. \u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2952\" data-end=\"2984\">Optimised for UST Projectors<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2986\" data-end=\"3245\">The 150-inch screen has been developed in tandem with AWOL Vision\u2019s UST projector lineup, including its newly launched flagship <strong data-start=\"3114\" data-end=\"3131\">Aetherion Max<\/strong>. This ensures precise optical alignment, consistent performance, and a more straightforward installation process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3247\" data-end=\"3426\">Both the new screen and the Aetherion Max will make their <strong data-start=\"3305\" data-end=\"3335\">European debut at ISE 2026<\/strong> at the Barcelona Expo (Hall 5, Level 0 \u2013 Stand 5Q300), running from <strong data-start=\"3404\" data-end=\"3425\">3rd\u20136th February 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3428\" data-end=\"3456\">Availability and Pricing<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3458\" data-end=\"3603\">The <strong data-start=\"3462\" data-end=\"3518\">AWOL Vision 150-inch Fresnel PET Daylight ALR Screen<\/strong> is scheduled to begin shipping in <strong data-start=\"3553\" data-end=\"3567\">March 2026<\/strong>, with a retail price of <strong data-start=\"3592\" data-end=\"3602\">\u20ac4,999<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify mb-2\" >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.
