US-based projection screen specialist Screen Innovations has announced further details of its Black Diamond range, including price guidelines, which it officially launched in the UK in February.
Screen Innovations Black Diamond
Black Diamond uses a unique ambient light rejection technology which allows pictures to be viewed in daylight without loss of definition. The screens include a positive gain material with a wider viewing angle, which allows even midrange projectors to be used in bright environments like a standard living room pub – which might come in handy for daytime World Cup matches in the summer.
The two models for the UK are:

Tom Garrett, Technical Product Specialist at Anthem AV Solutions, said: “Black Diamond II Screens satisfy the growing demand for large screen solutions. They deliver dramatically higher picture quality at sharply competitive prices and are equally at home with the lights on or off.”
