    New Osprey Dual Mode 16:9 & 2.35:1 Tandem Projection Screen



    By Gary Reber

    Elite Screens, Inc. an innovative company that specializes in affordable high quality projection screens, has announced the launch of their new Osprey dual format 2.35:1 / 16:9 tandem projection screen for today’s latest projectors with dual-mode anamorphic stretch capabilities.
      .
    “The latest projection industry technologies are now producing anamorphic lenses or lens memory options that allow projectors to put out either a 16:9 HDTV or 2.35:1 CinemaScope image.” said David Rodgers, Marketing Manager, Elite Screens, Inc. “Elite’s Osprey dual format projection screen is the perfect solution to producing both aspect ratios in one versatile product.”

    The Osprey Dual Motorized Home Cinema Projection screen features a dual screen format running a native 2.35:1 and a 16:9 screen in tandem with the push of a button while maintaining a centered image coordinated to the projector’s lens memory. It utilizes our MaxWhite FG fiberglass-backed front projection material that resists the curling effect caused by temperature variations in the multiple layers of other non-tensioned projection surfaces.

    As is customary with Elite’s electric screens,
    a full control package is included with internal IR and RF receivers, IR and RF remotes, and  an RJ45 port for 5-12 volt triggers and external wall boxes.  When other manufacturers are charging extra for such features, Elite Screens include these standard accessories and features to our customer at no extra charge.

    Pricing, Availability, Warranty
        Starting at $1,999 MSRP Ospreys are currently available in three sizes; 103-inch (2.35:1) / 82-inch (16:9), 115-inch (2.35:1) / 92-inch (16:9) and 123-inch (2.35:1) / 98-inch (16:9). Custom sizes are also available upon request. Each screen comes with a two-year limited parts and labor warranty through Elite Screens with a 3-year warranty program for Government, Educational and House of Worship purchases.

    Reason #25 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I want to see product reviews of home theatre equipment that non-millionaires can afford to own. Reading articles about $50,000 home theatre setups is admittedly rather fun but, in practical terms, the info is really useless to me. While Darling Wife and I make a decent living, there's no way we can spend that kind of money on a home theatre. What I also really like and want to see: Practical advice articles that help people who are at least minimally technically competent to assess their needs and assemble a home theatre. That is, a periodic (yearly? twice yearly?) in-depth look at points to consider and equipment to buy to assemble a good high definition home theatre. Ideally, it would examine several total package price points. If you're willing to spend $10,000, here's what we recommend in terms of equipment and how to connect/install them. If your budget is smaller, here's what we recommend. If your budget is somewhat larger than $10,000, do this instead. Yes, I know you have your reference systems section each month, but an explanatory article would be nice, too. Finally, keep us up-to-date on the development of high definition DVDs and DVD players. This is what I'd like to see.
