If you’ve spent any time digging into ultra short throw (UST) projectors, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: the projectors themselves get all the attention, but the screen and furniture can make or break the whole experience.

That’s exactly the gap NothingProjector is trying to fill. They don’t just sell projectors — they specialize in UST screens, laser TV cabinets, and full bundles that turn “I bought a projector” into “I have an actual home theater in my living room.”

This guide will walk you through:

  • Who NothingProjector is and what they’re good at
  • How their Black Series screens differ (framed, floor-rising, and the wild 132" seamless option)
  • Their premium UST TV cabinet line and how it pairs with Samsung, Sony, Hisense, Formovie, AWOL Vision, XGIMI, and more

By the end, you should have a clear idea whether NothingProjector is a good fit, and which of their pieces makes the most sense for your setup.

Who (and What) Is NothingProjector?

NothingProjector is a home-theater brand that’s spent the last few years laser-focused (literally) on Ultra Short Throw projectors and ALR (ambient-light-rejecting) screens. They operate multiple official storefronts, covering Europe, North America, Australia, and Brazil.

Instead of trying to sell everything under the sun, they concentrate on a few things:

They’re not just an online reseller, either. NothingProjector positions itself as an authorized dealer/distributor for big UST names like Formovie and AWOL Vision, and markets itself as a “complete cinema ecosystem” provider — screens, cabinets, and curated bundles.

Why that matters

For a buyer, this has a couple of advantages:

  • You’re buying screens and cabinets designed specifically around UST projectors, not generic white screens.
  • Being an authorized dealer usually means proper warranties and brand support rather than gray-market imports.
  • Their bundle options (AWOL Vision + Black Series screen + Shore cabinet and XGIMI Aura 2 + screen + cabinet) are built to work together and are tested combinations, not random “also bought” pairings.

If you’re trying to build a clean, TV-like projector setup in a real living room, this ecosystem approach is a big part of NothingProjector’s value.

Why Your Screen Matters More Than You Think

A quick reality check: even the best UST projector can look disappointing if you point it at the wrong surface.

NothingProjector ALR Screen Comparison: 100" Black Series vs.132" Seamless Lenticular

UST projectors fire light upward at a very steep angle from just a few inches away from your wall. A normal matte white screen (or a painted wall) reflects everything — the projector’s light and ambient light from windows and lamps. That’s why images often look washed out in bright rooms.

Enter ALR / CLR screens

NothingProjector’s Black Series screens are built around ALR/CLR (ambient-light-rejecting / ceiling-light-rejecting) materials with a special structure that:

  • Accepts light coming from below (where a UST fires from)
  • Rejects light coming from above or off-axis (ceiling lights, windows, room lighting)

Their Black Series fixed and floor-rising UST screens:

  • Use a 0.6 gain ALR surface — darker than a typical 1.0 gain white screen, but ideal for taming ambient light when paired with bright laser projectors
  • Claim around 95% ambient light rejection, which is a fancy way of saying they drastically cut down on washout in daylight or with lights on
  • Offer a wide 160–170° viewing angle, so picture quality doesn’t fall apart when people sit off to the side

In HomeTheaterReview’s own testing of the Black Series floor-rising 120" screen, the screen dramatically improved contrast versus a traditional white screen, especially in bright rooms or with overhead lighting turned on. Deep blacks held up, and the wide viewing angle proved legit. Read the full review.

If you’re wondering whether you really need an ALR screen for a UST:

  • Dedicated dark room? You can get away with a good matte white, but ALR still boosts perceived contrast.
  • Multi-purpose living room? An ALR screen like the Black Series is basically the difference between “this is cool” and “this replaces a giant TV.”

The Black Series Lineup: Which Screen Fits Your Setup?

NothingProjector’s main screen family is called Black Series, and it comes in a few flavors that cover most use cases:

  1. A fixed-frame ALR/CLR screen
  2. A motorized floor-rising ALR screen
  3. The 132" seamless BlackCrystal screen for maximum size

Let’s break down what each is for.

Black Series Fixed-Frame ALR/CLR Screen (84"–150")

This is the classic, permanently-on-your-wall screen — think “TV replacement” for people who are okay with a giant panel-sized rectangle being visible 24/7.

84''-150'' NothingProjector Black Series ALR/CLR Ultra Short Throw Projector Screen.

Key traits:

  • Sizes: 84" up to a massive 150" (starting from $835)
  • Optimized for UST / Laser TVs
  • ALR/CLR surface with an optical “black grid” style structure to reject ambient and ceiling light
  • 0.6 gain with 4K-ready surface
  • 170° ultra wide viewing angle
  • Slim bezel (around 1 cm) for a more TV-like aesthetic
  • PET Crystal / ST Carbon Black coating for higher contrast and deeper blacks

In simple language: it’s designed to look like a giant matte TV, without the glassy reflections you’d get from an actual television at this size.

Who it’s best for

  • You’re building a dedicated cinema room or a media wall and don’t mind the screen being visible all the time.
  • You want a clean, minimal look — a thin bezel, tight wall mount, and no visible housing.
  • You already have or plan to get a UST projector from brands like Formovie, AWOL, Hisense, or XGIMI, and you want a permanent partner for it.

In our experience, fixed-frame Black Series screens deliver very strong contrast and color pop, especially with modern high-brightness USTs — and they’re a solid value relative to other “big name” ALR screens in the same performance class.

Black Series Motorized Floor-Rising Screen (84"–130")

This is the one that tends to blow people’s minds in person.

84''-130'' NothingProjector Black Series ALR Motorized Floor Rising Screen For Ultra Short Throw Projector.

Instead of hanging on your wall, the screen hides in a long, low aluminum housing on the floor. When you’re ready to watch something, it silently (or at least quietly) rises up like a giant, high-tech window shade — then disappears back into the housing when you’re done.

Key traits:

  • Sizes: typically 84"–130" (from $1,865)
  • 0.6 gain ALR fabric with a sawtooth or lenticular micro-structure tuned for UST projectors
  • Around 95% ambient light rejection, tuned especially for overhead light
  • 160–170° viewing angle
  • A tab-tension system and folding arms that keep the screen impressively flat
  • Heavy aluminum housing designed to sit on the floor or recess into furniture
  • Remote control and optional integration (e.g., USB trigger modules) so the screen can sync with projector power

In HomeTheaterReview’s testing, the floor-rising 120" Black Series screen made a strong impression: the housing is heavy and well-built, deployment is smooth, and the ALR material holds up very well even in bright rooms. The tension system in particular feels like it belongs to a much more expensive screen. Read the full review.

Who it’s best for

  • You don’t want a big white panel on the wall 24/7 (open-plan living rooms, shared spaces).
  • You’re okay with a long, low housing along the wall — or you plan to pair it with a cabinet so the housing hides inside.
  • You want that “now you see it, now you don’t” vibe that makes your home theater feel premium and intentional.

Many people pair this screen with a Shore cabinet (more on that below), so the screen housing and projector are both hidden inside stylish furniture — press one button and the drawer slides out, the screen rises, and your “TV” appears.

The 132" Black Series Seamless BlackCrystal Screen

If the fixed frame and floor-rising screens are “big,” the 132" seamless BlackCrystal / Black Series screen is “go big or go home.”

132 Inch NothingProjector Seamless Lenticular 4K UST ALR Projector Screen.

Most ALR screens over 120" use visible seams, because the materials are usually manufactured in smaller sections. NothingProjector’s 132" model is molded in a single seamless piece, which is a genuine differentiator and something HomeTheaterReview called out as a key selling point.

Key traits:

  • 132" diagonal, 16:9 ratio
  • Largest seamless premium ALR UST screen on the market above 130" (at time of writing)
  • ALR / CLR design, with up to ~95% ambient light rejection
  • Ultra-wide 170° viewing angle
  • 4K/8K-ready lenticular surface designed specifically for UST
  • Ultra-thin frame (around 1 cm) to keep it from overpowering the room visually
  • Price: $1,732 (currently $1,299)

In our review, we noted that the 132" BlackCrystal screen delivered a very cinematic feel, with strong 3D-like depth and improved perceived sharpness compared to large white surfaces, particularly in a room with some ambient light. The fact that it’s seamless at this size is a big deal for anyone sitting close enough to notice panel joins. Read the full review.

Who it’s best for

  • You’ve got the space and viewing distance (roughly 3.3–4.5 meters / 11–15 feet is a sweet spot).
  • You’re pairing it with a bright, premium UST projector (AWOL Vision, Formovie, etc. — often 2,500–3,000+ lumens).
  • You want a true “wow” setup that competes with or surpasses big-screen OLED/mini-LED TVs in immersion.

If you’re building a showcase room or a large living space and want something bigger than 120" without seams, this screen is pretty much in its own category right now.

Premium UST TV Cabinet Line: Making Projectors Feel Like Furniture

Screens are half the story. The other half is where your UST projector lives.

A UST needs to sit very precisely in front of the screen. Put it too high, too low, or at the wrong distance, and your image geometry is off. Mounting a UST on a random IKEA console can work, but cable clutter, height, and vibration quickly become headaches.

That’s where Shore’s laser TV cabinets, sold through NothingProjector, come in.

NothingProjector carries two main flavors:

  1. Pre-Assembled TV Cabinet (premium option)
  2. Flat-Pack Cabinet (more budget-friendly)

Both are designed around a few big ideas:

  • Precise projector positioning (height, distance, and alignment)
  • Hidden wiring and components
  • Aesthetic that blends into living spaces instead of feeling like pro AV gear

Let’s look at each.

Pre-Assembled Shore TV Cabinet

(For Samsung, Sony, Hisense, Formovie, AWOL Vision, XGIMI & more)

NothingProjector’s pre-assembled Shore cabinets (Matte and Wood-grain versions) are best thought of as motorized, heavy-duty AV furniture. They arrive in multiple large sections that are already assembled — you position them, connect a few things, and you’re off.

Motorized floor-rising ALR screen paired with a UST TV cabinet in a modern living room.

Key traits:

  • Designed for 100–150" setups (starting from $4,259)
  • Motorized center drawer tuned specifically for UST projectors (with very fine positioning and up to ~30kg load capacity)
  • Compatible with LG, Samsung, Hisense, Formovie, AWOL Vision, XGIMI, Epson, BenQ, and other UST models (depending on cabinet SKU)
  • Acoustically transparent front panels, so you can hide speakers or a soundbar inside
  • Multiple cooling fans and venting areas to manage heat from AV receivers, consoles, or higher-power projectors
  • Extensive cable management, with cutouts between sections and hidden routing paths
  • Matte painted steel or wood-grain finishes, with a low-profile height designed not to dominate the room

Our review of the Shore Matte cabinet describes it as a serious, furniture-grade solution: heavy steel construction, refined matte finish, and a motorized drawer that’s smooth but robust enough for repeated daily use. Acoustically transparent panels let you tuck speakers or a soundbar out of sight without killing the audio. Read the full review.

One-button projector + screen power-on

When paired with a Black Series motorized floor-rising screen, these cabinets can form a “one-button home theater”:

  • Press a button on the remote (or programmed universal remote).
  • The UST projector drawer slides out to the right position.
  • The screen rises up from the floor housing or from behind the cabinet.

NothingProjector’s floor-rising screens also support integration via trigger or USB-style dongles, so they can power up automatically with the projector. That combo creates a very TV-like experience: sit down, hit one button, and the entire system wakes up.

Who the pre-assembled cabinet is for

  • You want a high-end furniture piece that looks at home in a designer living room.
  • You’d rather pay more up front than deal with complex flat-pack assembly.
  • You’re building a serious, long-term home theater setup around a flagship UST and ALR screen.

If you’re coming from a high-end TV plus media console, this is one of the closest projector equivalents in terms of polish.

Flat-Pack Shore TV Cabinet

(More budget-friendly, still UST-optimized)

The Shore Black Motorized Laser TV Flat Pack Cabinet aims at people who want the Shore experience but are okay doing some assembly to save money.

100-120" Shore Black Motorized Laser TV Flat Pack Cabinet.

Key traits:

  • Designed for 100–120" screen sizes
  • Uses the same UST-friendly geometry — projector positioning, cabinet height, and depth are tuned for popular models
  • Compatible with major brands like LG, Samsung, Epson, BenQ, Hisense, Formovie, XGIMI (exact list varies by model)
  • Packs flat for shipping, which helps bring down total cost and may be easier to get into tight spaces

Compared to the pre-assembled cabinets, you’re trading:

  • More DIY effort for a lower price
  • Slightly fewer finish options and customizations
  • Still keeping the essentials: motorized drawer, cable routing, and projector-specific design

If you’re comfortable with IKEA-style furniture and want a cabinet that’s properly dimensioned for UST (instead of guessing), the flat-pack Shore is worth a hard look.

Bundles With AWOL Vision, XGIMI, Formovie & More

One of NothingProjector’s biggest strengths is that they don’t just sell raw components — they offer bundles that put everything together:

1-Click Smart Cinema: Shore Cabinet & AWOL 3500 Pro

Those bundles typically include:

  • A UST projector from a trusted brand
  • A Black Series ALR screen sized appropriately for that projector
  • A laser TV cabinet that’s confirmed compatible

From a buyer’s perspective, this solves a few headaches:

  1. Compatibility: You know the projector will fit in the cabinet and work with the screen’s height/throw.
  2. Shipping & support: It all comes from (or via) the same ecosystem, which simplifies logistics and after-sales support.
  3. Cost clarity: Bundles often include seasonal discounts or added perks like free 3D glasses or Christmas sale pricing.

If you’re just starting your UST journey and don’t already own a projector, these bundles can save a lot of time spent cross-checking throw distances, cabinet heights, and screen sizes.

December Campaign, Warranty, and Price Protection

If you’re reading this during the holidays, there are a couple of important promos and policies to know about.

December 4–27: extra 5% off all screens

Per the current campaign, all screens are eligible for an extra 5% off between December 4 and 27. That’s on top of the existing Christmas sales pricing you’ll see on the site.

Practically speaking, that means:

  • A midrange screen that’s already discounted, say from $800 down to $650, would drop another ~5% at checkout with the campaign.
  • Bundling a screen with a cabinet or projector during this window can stack into meaningful savings.

1–3 years of global warranty

NothingProjector’s warranty policies vary by product, but the gist is:

  • Most products fall in the 12–36 month (1–3 year) warranty range, depending on category and brand.
  • Coverage is tied to their official platforms (nothingprojector.com, global.nothingprojector.com, etc.) and their role as authorized dealers for brands like Formovie and AWOL Vision.

For a buyer, this means you’re not rolling the dice on mystery-warranty imports — you’re getting real manufacturer-backed coverage.

60-day price guarantee

NothingProjector also advertises a 60-day price match / price guarantee across their sites.

In plain English:

  • If you buy a qualifying product and the price drops soon after, you can reach out within that window and ask about a price adjustment.
  • That’s especially helpful around seasonal sales (Black Friday, Christmas, flash promos) where pricing can move quickly.

Combined with free or fast shipping and “no tariff” notes on many global listings, the brand is clearly trying to reduce the usual anxiety of big-ticket projector purchases.

Final Thoughts: Is NothingProjector Right for You?

NothingProjector isn’t trying to be a “budget Amazon specials” brand. Their whole pitch is:

  • Do UST properly — with screens and cabinets designed for real rooms, not perfect demo caves.
  • Bundle intelligently — with projectors from brands like Formovie, AWOL Vision, and XGIMI, using screens and cabinets they know pair well.
  • Simplify the decision — with global platforms, 1–3 year warranty coverage, and a 60-day price guarantee so you’re not constantly worrying you bought at the wrong time.

If you’re the kind of person who:

  • Wants a giant “TV” look without hanging a 120"+ OLED on your wall
  • Wants your setup to blend into your living space instead of dominating it
  • Appreciates thoughtful touches like floor-rising ALR screens, motorized UST drawers, and acoustically transparent cabinets

…then NothingProjector’s ecosystem — especially the Black Series screens + Shore cabinets — is absolutely worth putting on your shortlist.

If you already own a UST projector, start by asking:

“Do I want a fixed screen that’s always visible, or a disappearing one that rises from a cabinet?”

Once you answer that, the rest of the choices (screen size, cabinet type, bundle vs. standalone) fall into place pretty quickly.

And if you happen to be shopping between December 4 and 27, that extra 5% off all screens plus the existing Christmas sales and 60-day price guarantee make it a particularly good time to lock in a screen you’ll likely use for years.
