Superior Projection Screen Surface
The material on a Tab Tension screen is not only pulled down by the weight of the bar but also from the left and right side by a Nylon string. The string is periodically connected to the material via small “Tabs”, hence the name Tab Tension.

Unlike a standard screen, a Tab Tension screen has a flexible material so that it can be pulled taught from all sides. The Grandview Cyber screens have a unique ratchet mechanism at each end of weighted bar so that the tensioning strings can be easily adjusted. The US made material is optimised for home cinema use, producing a high contrast and uniform reflectivity. A black PVC backing prevents light leakage so that the screen can be positioned in front of a window.

Built in Infra-red remote control and projector trigger
All Grandview Cyber Tab Tensioned electric screens feature built in infra-red remote control and come with a simple hand held remote. The IR receiver is located on the front of the curved case but should the screen be installed behind a pelmet or recessed into the ceiling, a small external IR eye is included. Also included is a 12volt trigger input, this allows the screen to be activated from any projector or surround sound amp with a 12volt output. A 10m mono mini jack cable is supplied to connect the screen to a 12volt output device.

Optional End Cap
Grandview now offer an IP control option for the electric and tab tensioned screens. The electronics in the end cap will also allow the screen to be operated via infra red and closed contact operation. This is an additional cost which should be ordered in advance.

Case and Motor Design
The aluminium diamond white case has an elegant curved profile making it one of the nicest looking screens on the market. The rigid sturdy design keeps the internal roller perfectly straight and any motor noise to a minimum. The Grandview Cyber series projector screens all use SOMFY motors, the same motors found in the likes of Dalite and Stuart cinema screens.

Mounting Bracket
Grandview Cyber projection screens feature one of the best mounting systems on the market. Two small brackets fit to the wall or ceiling anywhere along the length of the case. Once the screen is clipped into the brackets a retaining bolt secures it in position. The screen can only be lifted off the brackets when the bolt is released.

Other features and measurements
Just like televisions, projector screens are measured in imperial feet and inches. The screen is measured by the width of the material from left to right. The standard sizes are 6ft, 7ft, 8ft and 9ft. The viewable area is the white part of the screen which is slightly smaller due to the surrounding black borders. The Grandview Cyber screens top black border can be adjusted from 0 to 20″/50cm to give the desired screen position.

How to Choose a Projector & Screen Size

The first thing you need to decide is how big you want the screen to be? Depending on how much space you have typical sizes are between 96 – 120 inches (measured diagonally). Domestic TV screens may be getting bigger all the time but once you go above 90" TVs they become more expensive and harder to hide. It’s tempting to go large, but its important to see the bottom edge of the screen from every seating position. Don't forget that if its too large you'll have to move your eyes to see the whole of the screen creating a feeling much like sitting in the first row of seats in a cinema, and potentially motion sickness! Choosing the right-sized screen It’s important to make sure your projector will fill the screen from its intended position. You can use the unit’s throw ratio information to discern this. Divide the distance between the projector and screen by the throw ratio and you’ll get the image width. It’s important to note that it’s image width not the diagonal. Image width x Throw ratio = Distance from screen If you have a screen that is 2.6m wide and a projector with a throw ratio of 1.3 you'll need to put the projector 3.38m away from the screen. As well as the size of screen, consider the type. Do you want a fixed model that sits on your wall or a roll-up option that can be hidden away after use? The answer depends on whether the room is a multi-use space. If so, hiding the screen away makes a lot of sense. In a dedicated home cinema room the fixed option is the way to go, because the screen is always ready for viewing and adequately tensioned to ensure a smooth, flat surface for the projector’s image. It also doesn’t need power to operate any motors. While the fashion with TVs dictates that a minimal border is ideal, we advise against carrying that through to projector screens. It’s best to get a fixed screen with a relatively wide frame. The frame should be covered with black light absorbing material, so that any part of the projector image that falls on it isn’t reflected. This means that millimetre perfect alignment of the projector’s image isn’t required and also that your picture is perfectly framed, helping it standout.
