1. Buying the screen before checking throw geometry
UST projectors move the image dramatically with tiny position changes. Confirm the projector's placement for the intended diagonal before committing to wall holes or a cabinet.
2. Mounting a directional screen upside down
Lenticular UST materials depend on orientation. If the screen is installed the wrong way, it can reject the projector's own light. Follow the exact model's orientation instructions.
3. Using keystone to fix physical alignment
Digital correction can be useful for small cleanup, but it should not replace careful physical alignment. Start with a level cabinet, correct projector distance and square positioning.
4. Ignoring the cabinet
The screen and projector may fit, but the required throw distance can force the projector farther into the room than expected. Model the furniture position as part of the installation.
5. Testing only with demo footage
Bright HDR clips make nearly any display look exciting. Test dark movies, subtitles, faces, sport and the content you actually watch.
6. Assuming the biggest screen is automatically better
A larger picture uses more wall and spreads the same projector light over a larger area. Check comfort and brightness before scaling up.
7. Skipping a material test when the room is difficult
If your room has strong daylight, unusual ceiling lighting or bright reflective surfaces, a small sample can reveal more than generalized claims about ALR percentage.
