The practical difference
The PET Crystal Classic is listed at 0.6 gain, 160° viewing and 85% ALR. Elite’s Aeon CLR 3 is listed at 0.8 gain, 170° viewing and 90% overhead-light rejection. That makes the Elite screen the higher-gain and slightly wider-angle specification on paper, while NothingProjector offers a 100-inch option rather than Elite’s current 103-inch entry size.
Choose based on the room, not the logo
If your space is centered on a true 100-inch target, the PET Crystal Classic fits that nominal size directly. If a 103-inch screen fits and you value Elite’s higher listed gain and overhead-light figure, the Aeon CLR 3 becomes a strong comparison. Neither figure by itself replaces a room-light assessment.
Installation and ownership
Both are permanent fixed-frame products. Plan for accurate wall mounting and enough clearance for a UST cabinet. The PET Crystal merchant lists a 1 cm bezel; Elite emphasizes an edge-free fixed-frame design with trim.
What to verify before ordering
- Your projector is ultra-short-throw and the screen orientation matches tabletop or ceiling placement.
- The image area fits the wall with room for frame dimensions, cabinet depth and speaker placement.
- Your seating positions fit the screen’s viewing cone.
- Your problem light comes from a direction the screen material is designed to reject.
- The current merchant price, regional shipping and return terms are acceptable.
