How to Choose Projection Screens That Will Work With Tomorrow’s Technology
Projectors today are smarter, brighter, and more advanced than ever. And they’ll only keep getting better. But here’s the thing most people forget—your screen needs to grow with the technology too. A poor screen can ruin the output of even the best projector. So, when you’re planning for future-ready setups, your screen choice really matters.
Why an XL Projector Screen Is the Safer Bet
As projectors move toward 4K, 8K, and even laser-based systems, screen size becomes a big factor. An XL projector screen gives you the space to enjoy high-resolution visuals properly. If you stick with a smaller screen, you might miss out on all that extra detail your projector is showing.
And later, if you upgrade your projector, you won’t need to replace the screen. That’s why investing in an XL screen now saves time and money down the road.
Not All Screens Handle Future Tech Well
Some screens are made with old tech in mind. They’re good with basic 1080p projectors but struggle with higher contrast and color levels from modern models. You’ll notice dull colors, uneven light, or soft images—even if your projector is brand new.
That’s why it’s essential to choose a screen with materials that are made for high-end projection systems, like 4K HDR and beyond.
Go for Screens That Reject Extra Light
The future of projection is not just resolution—it’s flexibility. People want screens that work even when the lights are on. You may want to take a Zoom call, give a presentation, or watch something without sitting in complete darkness.
That’s where light-rejecting screen surfaces help. Draper’s TecVision options for the Acumen XL V Projection Screen are specifically designed for this purpose. They reflect the projector’s image clearly while bouncing off the extra room light.
This way, you’re not stuck needing a dark theatre every time.
Flat and Tensioned Screens Are a Must
You don’t want a screen that starts to sag or curl after a few months. Newer projectors are very sharp. Any wrinkle on the screen becomes noticeable. That’s why tensioned screens are important now more than ever.
The Acumen XL V Projection Screen by Draper features a tab-tensioned system that maintains a perfectly flat surface. It doesn’t matter if it’s been rolled up and down a hundred times. The screen stays smooth, giving you a sharp picture every time. No waves, no wrinkles.
Smart Controls for a Smarter Setup
Tech is going wireless. From remotes to voice control, people want less clutter and more ease. A screen that still needs manual pulling down feels out of place in a smart setup.
The Acumen® XL V has motorized control, and it works with smart home systems like Alexa or Google. So, you can drop the screen with a tap or a voice command. It also keeps wires and switches hidden, giving the room a clean, modern look.

The XL size, tab tensioning, and screen surface options on Draper’s model are built for both performance and durability. It’s not just a big rectangle—it’s a tech-friendly screen that can grow with your needs.
