Best Floor-Rising ALR Screens for UST Projectors: What to Compare
A practical buying guide to floor-rising UST ALR/CLR screens, centered on the decision factors that separate Vividstorm, NothingProjector, AWOL, Elite and Spectra designs.
The floor-rising UST screen category exists for one reason: a 100–120″ image is great when it is on, but not everyone wants a permanent 9–10 foot frame on the wall. The key buying variables are the UST-specific optical surface, motorized tensioning, case dimensions, size range, control hardware and how the screen handles the room’s actual ambient light.
Shortlist by room problem
Small-to-medium flexible rooms
Vividstorm S Pro P stands out because the linked merchant lists 72, 84, 92, 100, 110 and 120″ sizes, giving it unusually granular sizing for a premium floor-rising UST screen.
Larger 130″ target
NothingProjector Black Series and AWOL Vision Cinematic+ currently extend to 130″, which may matter more than any minor spec difference if the room is built around that diagonal.
Simple IR/RF control ecosystem
Elite Kestrel Tab-Tension CLR publishes built-in IR/RF receivers and rechargeable remotes, with 101 and 121″ sizes.
Higher published gain
Spectra Phoenix uses a Vantage UST 0.7 surface on the current configuration we reviewed, versus 0.6 for the S Pro P.
Why we feature the Vividstorm S Pro P
Its Search Gravity is unusually strong because it sits at the intersection of four common buying needs: UST ALR, floor-rising concealment, acoustic speaker placement and multiple size steps. That makes it a useful reference product even when a buyer ultimately chooses another screen.

Selection checklist
- Choose the diagonal that fits both the wall and seating distance.
- Confirm the full case length and case height.
- Map the projector’s throw distance and image height.
- Identify where ceiling, side and window light enters.
- Decide whether you actually need ALR/CLR.
- Confirm speaker placement before paying extra for an acoustic feature.
- Compare current delivered price, returns and warranty terms.
Next: understand the surface
Go to ALR vs CLR for UST projectors if you are still choosing screen material, or 100 vs 120 inches if your main question is size.
