CERRITOS, Calif., March 16, 2008 — Elite Screens, Inc. an innovative company that specializes in affordable high quality projection screens, today announced the launch of their new 16:10 commercial aspect ratio for their retractable projection screens.
“The 16:10 aspect ratio is replacing the old 4:3 NTSC format in many new computer models,” said David Rodgers, marketing manager, Elite Screens, Inc. “While I foresee some life still left in the 4:3 aspect ratio, the popularity of 16:10 has really been growing by leaps and bounds.”
The new 16:10 aspect ratio is a popular display format for the latest WXGA laptop and projector configurations.. Since more and more new computers are being made in 16:10, an increased number of commercial presentation environments such as conference rooms, reception halls, public forums and houses of worship are requiring the appropriate screen to accommodate their needs.
Our new 16:10 format is available on our CineWhite (tensioned) and MaxWhite (non-tensioned) 1.1 gain matte white materials.
