SI Screens

SI Screens of Austin Texas recently introduced their Black Diamond projector screen.

“The exclusive technologies in our Black Diamond projector screen represent a breakthrough in picture quality for home theater applications,” explained Aaron Reilly, Screen Innovations CTO. “Black Diamond enhances projector performance by creating the ultimate contrast (blacker blacks, whiter whites) and color accuracy (with added vibrant color delivery) in both ‘dark’ and ‘bright’ environments.”

This screen is an excellent solution for any room where there is ambient light and even in dedicated home theaters as it reduces the amount of screen reflection.  This means it’s now possible to have a crystal-clear large screen display in game rooms, sports bars, living rooms and media centers and still keep the lights on or shades open.

Having seen the Black Diamond in action all I can say is WOW, and judging by the recent order reports from our local representative, I’m not the only one who has been impressed.  Additionally, the Black Diamond projector screen has already won the “Product of the Year 2008″ from Electronic House and the “Best of Demo Alley” at EHX 2008.  It’s also currently a finalist for “Best New Product” for CEDIA 2008, where the winners will be announced at the September trade show right here in Denver, I’ll keep you posted.

Fixed screen sizes currently range from 80″ to 113″ and a motorized drop-down version has been announced as part of new Reference Motorized Series.  Pricing starts at $2,099.
