ALR Projector Screens for Bright Rooms in Hyderabad & Vijayawada
If your projector picture looks grey and faded whenever curtains are open or lights are on, the screen — not the projector — is usually the fix. We help you choose the right ALR or CLR screen for your projector, room and seating, and install it with the projector so the two are aligned properly.
An ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen reflects light coming from the projector back to the viewer while absorbing or deflecting light from windows and ceiling lamps, so blacks stay darker and colours stay richer in rooms you cannot fully darken. Ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors need a CLR/UST-type ALR screen; long-throw projectors need a standard ALR screen. Using the wrong type makes the picture worse, not better.
Why Your Projector Looks Washed Out — and How ALR Fixes It
A normal matte-white screen reflects every light that falls on it — the projector, the window, the tube light — equally. Room light lifts the black level, so the image loses contrast and colour. An ALR screen uses an optical surface (angular-reflective layers, micro-structures or lenticular ridges) that favours light from the projector's direction and rejects light from other angles.

More saturated colour for cricket, movies and daytime TV

ALR vs CLR vs Matte White — Which Screen Do You Need?
The screen must match the projector's throw. This is the most common mistake we see when customers buy a screen and projector separately.

How We Size and Specify Your ALR Screen
Screen size, gain and viewing angle are decided together with seating distance and projector brightness — not picked from a list.
Screen size and seating distance
For most Indian living rooms with a 9–12 ft viewing distance, 100 to 120 inch screens work well. We check wall width, furniture, window position and eye height before recommending a size.
Gain and viewing angle
Higher-gain ALR surfaces look brighter at the centre but can narrow the viewing angle. For wide sofas or L-shaped seating we prefer a lower-gain surface so side seats are not dimmer.
Projector brightness and 4K
We match the screen to your projector's brightness and resolution, and avoid textures that create sparkle or visible grain on 4K content.
Frame and format
Fixed-frame ALR screens give the flattest surface and best results. Rigid ALR materials generally cannot roll, so motorised options are limited to specific flexible surfaces — we explain the trade-off before you choose.
ALR Screen Installation in Hyderabad
Our Hyderabad team handles apartments and villas across Gachibowli, Kondapur, Kokapet, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Kukatpally and the surrounding areas. Many Hyderabad living rooms face west-facing glass or large balcony doors, so we check afternoon light and curtain options during planning. Visit our Ameerpet experience centre to discuss screen types with your room photos and projector details.

ALR Screen Installation in Vijayawada & Coastal Andhra
Our Vijayawada team at Kanuru serves Benz Circle, Patamata, Moghalrajpuram, Gunadala, Amaravati and nearby Guntur and Eluru with regular site visits. Bright, sunny rooms are common here, which is exactly where an ALR screen makes the biggest difference compared with a white screen.

ALR Projector Screen Installation Across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh
Hyderabad and Vijayawada are our two bases. The Hyderabad team covers Telangana and western Andhra Pradesh; the Vijayawada team covers coastal and southern Andhra Pradesh. For cities without a showroom we start with a remote review of drawings, photos and requirements, then schedule site visits for survey, installation, training and after-sales service as the project needs.

Do I need an ALR screen for my living room projector?+
If you cannot fully darken the room, yes. ALR preserves contrast and colour under normal lighting where a matte-white screen looks washed out. In a fully dark dedicated theatre, a good matte-white or grey screen is usually enough.
What is the difference between ALR and CLR?+
ALR is the general category of ambient-light-rejecting screens. CLR (Ceiling Light Rejecting) is a type designed for ultra-short-throw projectors that sit below the screen — it reflects light coming from below and rejects light from the ceiling.
Can I use a UST/CLR screen with a ceiling-mounted projector?+
No. A CLR screen is designed for light coming from below; a ceiling-mounted long-throw projector would look dim and uneven. Choose a standard ALR screen for long-throw projectors.
What size ALR screen should I buy?+
For a typical 9–12 ft seating distance, 100 to 120 inches suits most homes. We confirm the size after checking wall width, seating distance and projector placement.
Can an ALR screen be motorised or rolled up?+
Most high-performance ALR surfaces are rigid and work best on a fixed frame. A few flexible ALR materials are available in motorised formats, with some trade-off in performance; we explain options for your room.
Do you install ALR screens in Hyderabad and Vijayawada?+
Yes. Our Hyderabad and Vijayawada teams install ALR screens with projector alignment, and we serve other Telangana and Andhra Pradesh cities as listed in the coverage table.
Will an ALR screen work in full daylight?+
An ALR screen greatly improves picture quality in bright rooms, but very strong direct sunlight on the screen will still reduce contrast. Curtains or blinds for the brightest hours give the best result.
