Recessed in-ceiling ALR screen for standard and long-throw projectors.
The Vividstorm PHANTOM Obsidian ALR is a recessed in-ceiling, motorised tab-tensioned screen designed for standard and long-throw projectors. It provides a hidden ceiling installation, a flat projection surface and an ambient-light-rejecting Obsidian material for high-contrast viewing in controlled lighting.
A clean in-ceiling screen for refined interiors
The Phantom recessed in-ceiling design keeps the screen housing hidden above the ceiling line, allowing the screen to disappear when it is not in use.
It is ideal for home cinema rooms, media rooms, renovated spaces and premium living areas where a standard visible screen case would interrupt the room design.
- Screen cassette is concealed inside the ceiling
- Motorised screen lowers only when needed
- Cleaner look than a standard wall-mounted drop-down screen
- Best suited to planned installations, renovations and new-build projects
Made for standard and long-throw projector setups
This model uses Obsidian ALR material for conventional projector throw geometry. It is the correct Phantom recessed option when the projector is installed behind the viewing position or further back in the room.
Recessed in-ceiling design
The screen case is designed to be built into the ceiling for a neat and discreet installation.
Motorised drop-down action
The screen lowers at the touch of a button and retracts back into the ceiling when not in use.
Tab-tensioned flatness
Side tensioning helps keep the projection surface flat for sharper, more consistent image geometry.
Obsidian ALR surface
The 0.8 gain Obsidian material is designed to improve contrast in low-light and controlled-light rooms.
Please match the screen to your projector type
ALR screen material is directional. Choosing the correct screen material for your projector position is essential for brightness, contrast and viewing performance.
Standard / long-throw projector
Choose this screen for conventional projection setups where the projector is positioned behind the viewer or further back in the room.
Above 2200 ANSI lumens
This screen is recommended for standard or long-throw projectors with rated brightness above 2200 ANSI lumens in a low-light environment.
Ultra-short-throw projector
This Obsidian ALR Phantom model is not designed for UST projectors. For UST setups, choose the Vividstorm Phantom UST ALR version instead.
High-contrast viewing for long-throw projection
The Obsidian ALR material is designed to enhance perceived contrast and reduce the effect of unwanted ambient light compared with a standard white screen.
With 0.8 gain and a 150° viewing angle, it is a balanced choice for home cinema rooms where image contrast, viewing comfort and a discreet installation are all important.
- Ambient-light-rejecting Obsidian screen surface
- Designed for standard and long-throw front projection
- Supports 8K / 4K UHD, HDR and 3D active content
- Best performance in low-light or controlled-light environments
