celexon GREYVISION Premium Plus Contrast Screen (150") Motorised Screen

celexon GREYVISION Premium Plus: the all-round contrast screen, also for triple-laser projectors

The GREYVISION Premium Plus is celexon's motorised tensioned screen with a grey high-contrast fabric and a 332 × 186 cm viewable area (150", 16:9). It is the universal contrast screen that works with almost any projector technology – lamp, LED or triple laser – and with normal as well as shorter throw distances, and unlike classic ALR screens it places no restrictions on projector placement. The grey fabric moderately improves black level and image depth over a white fabric and stays calm even with triple laser projectors, where actively reflective coated contrast fabrics reach their limits. A side tensioning system keeps the surface perfectly flat, and a quiet tubular motor extends and retracts it at the push of a button.

Key benefits at a glance

• Compatible with almost any projector: GREYVISION works with lamp, LED and triple laser projectors and across all common throw distances, from normal distance to short throw (ST). Only ultra short throw/laser TV projectors need a special CLR screen.
• Made for triple laser projectors: The diffusely coated grey fabric does without the reflective microstructure of coated ALR fabrics and therefore reproduces the image of modern triple laser projectors particularly calmly and evenly.
• Ideal for smart projectors: The clean black masking gives the auto screen fit and auto keystone functions of modern projectors a clear reference frame for snapping the image precisely into place.
• Moderate, neutral contrast boost: The grey fabric (gain 0.8) noticeably raises black level and image depth above that of a white fabric while remaining colour-accurate, with a viewing angle of up to 160° and resolution headroom for 4K to 8K content.
• Premium Plus technology, all included: tensioned flatness and spiral roller, quiet tubular motor below 50 dB, plus radio and infrared remote control and USB wireless trigger as standard.

Is this screen the right choice?

• Yes, if you are looking for a contrast screen that works with almost any type of projector and also copes with short-throw (ST) projectors.
• Yes, if you use a triple laser projector: GREYVISION keeps the image calm where actively reflective coated contrast fabrics can sparkle.
• Yes, if you have a smart projector with automatic image alignment: the black masking helps the auto screen fit to fit the image precisely.
• Not ideal if you want the absolute maximum black level and want distracting ambient and stray light in the image to be actively reduced: with long-throw projectors with lamp, LED, single or dual laser, the specialised celexon DARKVISION does more here – its coated ALR fabric actively rejects stray light.
• Not ideal if your projector is a laser TV or ultra short throw model: it projects very steeply from below and needs a laser TV/CLR screen with an angle-selective microstructure.

Picture quality: grey high-contrast fabric with gain 0.8

The grey GREYVISION fabric (gain 0.8) lowers the base brightness of the projection surface and thereby improves the black level: especially in dark film scenes, black areas look richer and the image more three-dimensional than on a white fabric, with neutral, colour-accurate reproduction and a wide viewing angle of up to 160°. This is a balanced contrast boost for any kind of projector; if you want maximum black-level depth with active reduction of ambient and stray light, specialised ALR screens are built for that.

GREYVISION reflects light diffusely. Unlike angular-reflective contrast fabrics and CLR screens, which are designed for a specific projection angle, the grey fabric shows an even image from any normal installation angle and across all common throw distances, from long throw to short distance. This is what makes the screen so versatile.

For the sharpest possible image: align the projector as precisely as possible with the screen and use digital corrections such as keystone sparingly. At the same time, the black masking all the way round gives the alignment automation of modern smart projectors a clear reference frame: functions such as Intelligent Screen Adaptation (ISA) on the XGIMI Horizon 20 Max or the automatic image adjustment of the Hisense C3 and JMGO N3 Ultimate (auto keystone, autofocus, screen fit) reliably detect the image boundaries and fit the image precisely to the fabric. The black-coated back absorbs stray light from behind and keeps the picture clean.

Premium Plus mechanism: permanently flat and quiet

The GREYVISION uses the high-quality chassis of the Premium Plus series. A precisely tuned tension cable system keeps the projection surface perfectly flat at all times, so the image sits evenly and flat across the whole surface, even with large diagonals. A helical roller ensures that the fabric rolls up without streaks: the start of the fabric sits in a recessed step instead of running over a small edge, so each further layer lies flat on top and no pressure marks form. The spring-mounted bottom bar retracts smoothly and flush into the housing, and a quiet quality tubular motor with silent soft start and stop ensures particularly smooth operation. The closed, matte white aluminium housing in a modern square design reliably protects the retracted fabric from dust and insects; an earthing concept reduces static charge when extending and retracting and therefore dust adhesion, especially in dry indoor air.

Will the GREYVISION Premium Plus fit your room? Dimensions and planning

Important before you buy: a motorised screen needs more space than just the image width. The key details at a glance:

The key points for planning:

• Black top drop: With the 16:9 format, there is a black top drop of around 40 cm at the top between the screen housing and the projection surface. It brings the projection surface down to a comfortable viewing height, so the image doesn't start directly below the ceiling. Allow for it when planning the mounting height; it can only be shortened by a few centimetres. Always extend the fabric fully if possible: its own weight pulls the surface flat and prevents waves.
• Seating distance: With an image width of 332 cm, a comfortable seating distance for most viewers is around 5–6.5 m.
• Mounting: on the wall or ceiling as required; matching mounting brackets, ceiling hangers and an adjustment tool are included. Place the brackets as close to the end caps as possible for the smoothest operation; installation by two people recommended.
• Power connection: The cable outlet is at the rear near the left end cap; plan the power supply there.
• Tip: Mark out the dimensions on the wall with masking tape beforehand – you'll see straight away whether the image size and lower image edge are right.

Operation and control: everything included

The GREYVISION comes with complete control built in. RF and infrared receivers are built into the housing, and the matching remote controls are included. Using the supplied USB wireless trigger, the screen extends fully automatically as soon as the projector starts and retracts again after it is switched off, so one remote control is all you need. You can fine-tune the lower stop point of the screen in small steps via the remote control (up to ±15 cm) to match the image height exactly to your furniture. If you wish, you can also integrate the screen into an AV receiver, smart home or home automation system via the RJ45 interface (RS232/RS485) or potential-free contacts.

Applications

Home cinema with any projector: whether a bright lamp projector, a compact LED projector or a modern triple laser, the GREYVISION is the right contrast screen if you don't want to commit to one type of projector and want a high-contrast image across all content, from films and series to sport and gaming.

How to keep your screen looking good for a long time

After the film, the screen retracts back into the housing, where it is protected from dust and touch. The PVC fabric surface is sensitive to temperature: do not install the screen in direct sunlight, directly in front of a window or right next to a radiator or air conditioner. After delivery, the fabric should be allowed to acclimatise for about two hours (longer after a sharp change in temperature). Clean only with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, never with alcohol or cleaning agents.

Frequently asked questions about the celexon GREYVISION Premium Plus

How bright should my projector be at least?
Because the grey fabric with gain 0.8 absorbs some light, your projector should have enough reserves – as a guide, from around 2,500 lumens, depending on the image size. Larger diagonals and more ambient light in the room require correspondingly more brightness.

Which screen is suitable for XGIMI, Hisense or JMGO triple laser projectors?
The GREYVISION is well suited to them. Triple laser models such as the XGIMI Horizon 20 Max, the Hisense C3 or the JMGO N3 Ultimate can show laser speckle (also called the speckle effect) on actively reflective coated contrast and ALR fabrics – a fine sparkle that some viewers notice and others don't. The diffusely coated grey fabric of the GREYVISION reproduces the laser image calmly and evenly. If you use an ultra short throw/laser TV model from these manufacturers, however, you need a CLR screen.

Is the celexon GREYVISION an ALR screen?
It belongs to the contrast screens, but deliberately works differently from a classic ALR screen. An ALR (ambient light rejecting) screen rejects ambient light directionally using a reflective coating; for this, the projector has to be positioned at a suitable angle to it. The GREYVISION instead relies on a diffuse grey high-contrast surface with gain 0.8: it gains its contrast from the grey base colour itself rather than from directional reflection – without the placement restrictions of classic ALR screens and without the fabric structure that tends to sparkle with triple lasers. If you want the maximum black level with active rejection of ambient and stray light and use a long-throw projector with a lamp, LED, single or dual laser, the specialised celexon DARKVISION with a true ALR fabric is the right class.

Which of the two suits you depends mainly on your projector's light source. Tell us your model and we will assess it for you: Request a fabric recommendation →

Is the GREYVISION suitable for gaming?
Yes. As a passive screen, it has no effect on input lag or frame rate; that depends solely on the projector – you'll find the right choice among our gaming projectors. As for the image itself, games with dark scenes benefit from the better black level just as much as films.

Can I use the screen in the garden or outdoors?
No. The GREYVISION is permanently mounted, needs a power connection and is made for indoor use, not for permanent outdoor use. For outdoor use, an inflatable outdoor screen such as the celexon INF Professional or a portable screen is suitable.
