Product Overview

As a courtesy service for our PROPixx customers, VPixx Technologies offers a range of projection screens. Our screens feature robust plastic frames paired with high-quality flexible projection material, ensuring outstanding image quality and durability. Aluminum stands and feet are adjustable to accommodate a range of image heights and screen locations.

We offer a line of universal in-bore screens for MRI facilities to ensure the largest possible screen size for your participants. These screens include handles for easy placement and sturdy plastic feet to support the screen against the bore.

Screens come flat-packed and are easy to install. For standing screens, floor markers are provided to ensure reliable placement and re-placement. If you need a custom screen size for a unique space, contact our sales department, and we will assist you.

All VPixx screens are made from MRI- and MEG-safe materials and are suitable for behavioural and neuroimaging environments. To learn more about different material types (2D vs. 3D) see our guide to 3D projection with the PROPixx projector.

Product Specifications

Our screens are manufactured as a courtesy service for our customers. Below is a list of the materials used for our screens and our supplier’s material specifications. Note that for specific custom orders, the screen material may vary from what is listed below. If you have any questions, please Contact Us.

Screen Materials

Support Materials

  • Aluminum

  • Plastic


Cleaning and Maintenance

The stand's plastic and aluminum frame can be cleaned with disinfectant wipes or a soft cloth sprayed with a cleaning solution.

Flexible projection screens should not be treated with commercial disinfectants, as harsh solvents can damage the material. Instead, we recommend wiping them with a soft cloth and gentle soap, such as hand soap. Grease spots can be spot-cleaned with a water-based detergent and warm water.


Troubleshooting your Screen

For troubleshooting your projector, see our guide Diagnosing Display Issues on the PROPixx Projector

Issue

Solution

The image is blurry/out of focus, no matter how much you adjust the lens.

The screen is probably too close to your projector for your specific projection lens. Consult your lens selection report to see your minimum achievable image size.

The screen material is streaky

Wipe the screen with a soft cloth and gentle soap.

The screen material is speckled and/or 'sparkles' are in the image.

The screen is most likely backwards. Rotate the screen 180 degrees so that the sticker on the frame faces away from the participant.

Image is too bright

See Adjusting PROPixx Brightness

Image appears to be non-uniform in brightness

Caused by hotspotting. See our guide [COMING SOON]

Screen material is sagging or has buckled/become unglued
