UST projector screen compatibility guide

Match projector type, throw geometry, screen material, size and mounting orientation before you buy a UST ALR screen.

Confirm the projector is actually UST

UST projectors are designed to create large images from a very short distance and typically sit on a cabinet below the screen. A standard short-throw or long-throw projector uses different light geometry.

Merchant-listed families

The PET Crystal Classic product page names UST models or families from Hisense, AWOL Vision, BenQ and XGIMI as examples. That is useful category evidence, but model-specific placement still needs to be checked.

Match supported image size

Do not assume every UST projector supports every screen size equally. Check the manufacturer throw table for 100, 120 or 150 inches, and ensure the cabinet can physically sit where the projector needs to be.

Tabletop versus ceiling-mounted UST

Directional ALR material is orientation-sensitive. NothingProjector distinguishes variants for a UST projector placed on a cabinet versus mounted on the ceiling. Choose the correct configuration.

Final compatibility checklist

  • UST projector confirmed
  • Target diagonal supported
  • Image width fits wall
  • Projector/cabinet position fits room
  • Screen orientation matches projector position
  • Viewing cone covers seats
  • Problem light comes from rejectable directions

Use PET Crystal Classic as a reference point.

It is a 0.6-gain, 160° listed-viewing-angle, 85% ALR fixed-frame UST screen.

FAQ

Does the PET Crystal Classic work with Hisense, AWOL, BenQ and XGIMI UST projectors?

The merchant names those brands as compatible examples, but you should still verify the exact model’s throw geometry and screen size.

Can a ceiling-mounted UST use the same screen orientation as a tabletop UST?

Not necessarily. Directional optical surfaces may require a different orientation or variant for ceiling-mounted UST use.
