Serious home theater, involving a projector and a screen, usually means pulling the blinds down to make your room as dark as possible. But there’s a new wave of cutting edge front projection screens that claim to work with ambient lighting. Which means an end to sitting in the dark (unless you like it that way).
I’ve never heard of the dnp company before, but am told by reliable sources that they’re a long time maker of parts for other companies. Like an apprentice who’s finally mastered his home theater craft, they’re now hitting the high end marketplace themselves with the dnp SuperNova Screen.
I won’t bore your with the science (mostly because I don’t undestand it) but will instead take dnp’s word that 60% of their screen is covered by “a patent pending high contrast filter” which reflects the projected light and filters out ambient light from other angles (other angles basically meaning windows) and that this “revolutionary optical screen delivers ten times higher contrast and twice as bright images as standard front screen.”
To prove it they’ve got a slightly cheesy video on their site where the very Danish sales and marketing manager Soren Musk demonstrates that the dnp SuperNova Screen works not just in your living room, but in the middle of your local park too. It’s impressive to be sure, but slightly surreal. Soren never really explains where the electricity is coming from.
