Ⅰ. Real Verdict: Nothingprojector’s Black Series- Changing Experience

Test Setup: Klein K10A colorimeter + Jeti 1501 spectroradiometer, Formovie C3 UST projector (D65 calibrated), ambient light: living room simulation

Metric	NothingProjector Black Series	Vividstorm S Pro	Analysis
Static Contrast	2081:1	190:1	+995% advantage
ANSI Uniformity	84%	Not disclosed	Black Series eliminates edge dimming
Center Gain	1.1 (measured)	0.8 (claimed)	Black Series optimizes brightness distribution
Black Depth	ST Carbon Black coating	Gray surface	Black Series preserves shadow details
Ambient Light Rejection	+68% ANSI luminance (lights on)	Unquantified	Black Series reveals Dune sand texture in daylight

Core Technology:

• Nothingprojector Black Series: 45° micro-louver layer + pure black coating, reflects projector light (45° bottom), absorbs ceiling ambient light.
• Vividstorm S Pro: 60° horizontal stripes, ambient light rejection depends on black upper surface, uneven reflection observed.

"When a snapped support leg ended my Vividstorm floor-rising screen's three-year service, I reluctantly began searching for a replacement. That unexpected breakdown, however, unveiled an extraordinary successor: Nothing Projector's CLR Black Series. What I discovered transcended a mere upgrade—it redefined my entire understanding of projection technology." - Below are pictures of our customer feedback from avforums

   • Nothingprojector Black Series: Pure black background, interstellar dust visible (2081:1 contrast).
     
   • Vividstorm S Pro: Grayish haze, crushed shadows (190:1 contrast).
2. High Ambient Light (daylight living room)
   
   • Nothingprojector Black Series: Dune sand texture retained, 84% uniformity.
     
   • Vividstorm S Pro: Washed-out image, 20% brightness drop from bottom to top.

Ⅳ. Smart Features & User Experience

Function	NothingProjector Black Series	Vividstorm S Pro
Smart Control	Tuya/Alexa voice scenes	Basic RF remote only
Safety	Obstacle detection (anti-pinch)	No pinch protection (user-reported risk)
Mobility	Plug-and-play, room-to-room portability	Fixed placement required
Maintenance	<0.5mm gap (negligible dust)	Wide seams need weekly cleaning

Ⅴ. Pricing & Support Strategy

– 95% Stray Light Elimination: Actively blocks intrusive light from ceiling projectors while filtering 95% of ambient reflections, ensuring pristine image clarity in brightly lit environments.
– Visual Depth Optimization: Significantly boosts on/off contrast to deliver profound blacks and elevates ANSI contrast, producing vividly impactful visuals with cinematic intensity.
– Full-Light Resilience: Maintains over 80% image fidelity under complete room illumination, enabling uncompromised daytime entertainment without light-control compromises.
– Permanent Flawless Flatness: Engineered to resist rolling/warping indefinitely, guaranteeing a consistently smooth projection surface for distortion-free image quality.

The NothingProjector Black Series UST ALR screen utilizes sophisticated fiber technology with a surface engineered at microscopic scale. Approximately thousands of horizontal ridges—precisely angled near 60 degrees—optimally capture light from ultra-short-throw projectors and redirect it toward the viewer's position. This design simultaneously maximizes image brightness and clarity while significantly reducing interference from ambient light.

The NothingProjector Black Series UST ALR screen leverages micro-ridges with angled black upper surfaces to actively absorb ambient light—rejecting up to 95% of stray reflections. This optical isolation ensures only ultra-short-throw projector light reaches the viewer, guaranteeing consistently crisp, interference-free images.

Despite having a 0.6 gain rating—which typically reduces brightness on conventional screens—the NothingProjector Black Series UST ALR screen avoids dim images. Ultra-short-throw projectors inherently lose substantial brightness due to their extreme projection angles. This screen actively counteracts the loss by concentrating available light directly toward viewers, resulting in noticeably brighter and higher-contrast visuals compared to standard white screens or walls.

In short: even with a 0.6 gain, you’ll experience a more vibrant, focused image—especially compared to the scattered light loss typical on flat white surfaces.

That’s how a UST projector sends the light to the screen…

This how black series floor rising scr returns this light to the viewing position…

And that’s the result of the reflection on our ceiling and the ambient light rejection…

Perfection in Every Detail...

Final Verdict: A Smarter Evolution Beyond Vividstorm

NothingProjector Black Series isn’t just competing with the Vividstorm S Pro—it’s outclassing it.

With lab-proven 2081:1 contrast, a true black optical coating, and a precision-engineered flatness system that eliminates even microscopic surface waves, this screen is built for image purists.

But the genius goes beyond picture quality.
You get:

1. A solid metal body—no wobble, no “leg gate.”
2. A 5-second auto-lift setup—not 30 minutes of manual fiddling.
3. A US$1300+ price advantage—with zero compromise.

Designed for everyday excellence—not showroom gimmicks—this screen delivers flawless geometry, zero surface waves, rugged durability, and seamless smart home integration.

Why accept Vividstorm’s compromises at higher prices when NothingProjector Black Series offers superior value without sacrifice?

Practical engineering. Precision performance. Right-sized pricing. This is performance redefined with purpose.
