Why Tab Tensioned?

Tab-tensioned Electic Projector Screens are more expensive to purchase than standard electric wall screens. So why spend the extra money?

Tab tensioned projector screens are the pinnacle of electric wall/ceiling screens. They have the benefit of a wire tensioning system down the vertical edges of the screen, to ensure the viewing surface is pulled flat to optimise the projected image.

The nice flat surface also improves the picture quality Tab tensioned screens are a popular solution in home cinema environments where the customer is looking for a high-end theatre-level viewing experience. 

They are also ideal if you are planning to mount your projector screen somewhere drafty, like in front of a window for example, or if you are inclined to leave the screen down most of the time. The tab tension feature keeps the screen nice and flat and prevents and curling around the edges of the screen.
