ALR stands for Ambient Light Rejecting screens. As the name suggests, ALR screens reject ambient light, which is simply all other light sources in a room apart from the projector light. ALR screens are a result of a special material that enables them to reflect light selectively.

However, compared to the cost of simply buying an ALR screen to use with any projector, projectors with that level of luminosity are extremely expensive. So, ALR screens are the cheaper, versatile, and definitely better solution to the problem of ambient light. How Do ALR Screens Work?

BRG’s list of the best ALR screens is dominated by the big brand names like VIVIDSTORM and Elite Screens. The list includes different ALR screens with different strengths. Some offer relatively excellent performance at a relatively low price, while others deliver stunning performances at higher costs.

ALR screens are necessary if you use the 4K ultra-short-throw (UST) or a standard projector. ALR display enhances image quality, improves brightness, decreases glare, and gives you an immersive viewing experience. There are various options, and selecting the appropriate ALR monitor will depend on your budget and preferences.
