Cerritos Calif., October 14, 2011-Elite Screens is proud to announce that its Lunette Curved-Frame Projection Screen with new Acousticpro A1080P2 material has won Custom Retailer Magazine's coveted 2011 Excite Award.
The Lunette with its 1080P acoustic material brings high-end quality in an easy to install package. It gives integrators and consumers an easy to use solution that is readily available without any custom build time to slow the job down. The curved design of the Lunette enhances the viewer's sense of immersion while eliminating the "pincushion-effect", a visual artifact that commonly distorts Cinemascope (2.35:1) and other widescreen formats. Its acoustically transparent material (A1080P2) allows sound to breathe through the fabric with minimal attenuation while maintaining superb picture quality with 1080P projectors.
The staff of Elite Screens is pleased to know that its product is valued for its quality, convenience and superb audio-video performance. Products like this and our coming 4K acoustic and 3D/2D materials are definitely signs that more great stuff is yet to come.
