1Note on 3D technology: Active 3D viewing uses shutter glasses in conjunction with the 3D projection. Passive 3D viewing uses polarized, non-shutter glasses in conjunction with the 3D projection.

2Note on Projector Contrast: In this chart, low contrast projectors are projectors that have less than 2000:1 contrast ratio. High contrast projectors are considered projectors with 2000:1 contrast ratio and higher.

3Note on Viewing Angle: The viewing angle measurements listed here are the approximate on-axis half-gain cone viewing angles for the respective screen materials.
