For those who don’t mind choosing a projection screen over an LCD this is just the right time to trade-in your smaller LCD screen with the new 100inchie Elite Raptor projection screen which is an electric floor-rising screen that conceals itself in a furniture cabinet to gel with your living room aesthetics. The screen has a16:9 aspect ratio and will be available in three sizes: 72, 84 and 100 inches. The motorized cross-rising system has variable height settings to accommodate different viewing environments. It also features Elite’s MaxWhite FG fiberglass-backed material for a flat surface in 1.1 gain. “It is ideal for hidden theater environments or executive conference rooms,” says Elite Screens marketing manager David Rodgers. “With the touch of a button, both screen and projector appear like magic.” Each screen has a built-in 5-12V trigger for drop/rise synchronization with the projector’s power cycle along with IR/RF receivers for wireless operation. The Raptor Screen will ship in September for $3,999 and the price includes an RF remote and ZR800D IR universal learning remote which allows simultaneous screen operation with up to eight devices. The cabinet is available in matte black or cherry wood finishes and the screens are available in three sizes: 72, 84 and 100 inches so set-up your own home theater room in case you haven’t already! Elite Screens will showcase the Raptor Screen at CEDIA Expo 2008.
