Once assembled, the Aeon CLR screen had an impressively solid build and seamless look for a $799 model. Fortunately, Elite has a how-to video on their website that more clearly details the process. While I didn’t have the same physically taxing experience assembling the Elite screen as I did with the model from Screen Innovations, there were moments when I found myself in the Ikea zone, trying to follow the instruction manual. Also, the bezel needs to be attached with adhesive strips, and the bond that this created was a bit flimsy. The catch is that you have to put the screen together yourself, assembling the sharp-edged metal frame, tightly wrapping the screen material around it, and then fastening everything up with Velcro.
AEON CLR INSTALL
Along with allowing it to be navigated to the install site around tight corners that a large, rigid screen might not travel through, this usually saves money on shipping costs. Unlike some other ALR screens, StarBright CLR is a flexible material that can be rolled up, which allows Elite to deliver the screen in a compact box. Wall-mounting and LED-backlighting kits come with the screen, though a backlighting kit wasn’t included with my review sample. Viewing angle is specified as 180 degrees. The Aeon CLR series uses the company’s StarBright CLR, a 0.6-gain ambient-light-rejecting material with an optical structure that’s designed to filter out overhead light coming from the ceiling.
Elite makes it available in 100- and 120-inch sizes as well, and has a similar material available to installers through its EPV Screens professional division. The 90-inch-diagonal Elite screen ($799) that we tested with the Epson was an “edge-free” model that mirrors the ultra-thin-bezel design of current flat-panel TVs, with a bezel width of 0.5 inch.

AEON CLR SERIAL
And when he sits down in a meeting room to interview serial killer Ed Kemper, the skintones of both men looked natural, and there was a subtle rendering of daylight that streams in from a window to the otherwise dim space. In a scene where Holden walks through the entrance area of a prison, I could see a surprisingly wide range of colors in the bland, institutional environment. The Epson’s positive performance attributes-ample brightness, accurate color, good detail and uniformity-were all on display when I streamed an episode of Mindhunter on Netflix. Image uniformity was very good I saw a small degree of tinting at the edges of the picture, but it was fairly minor and, for the most part, not noticeable. However, the picture did look detailed and crisp, and it displayed a range of fine gray tones. But shadows still came across as dark-to-medium gray, rather than a deep black, in scenes such as one where the mutant girl Laura eats cereal in the abandoned chemical plant where Logan and Charles are hiding out.
AEON CLR MOVIE
When I checked out the blackand-white “Noir” version of the movie Logan on Blu-ray, the picture looked reasonably punchy.
Both color saturation and contrast remained solid when viewed from an off-center seat-something you can’t say for many flat-panel LCD TVs, even the most expensive ones. Contrast wasn’t nearly the same as what I typically get using a good regular projector and screen in those conditions, but the blacks were still reasonably dark.
As I watched The Lego Batman Movie in dim, theater-like viewing conditions, colors in the computer-animated images looked bold and well saturated.
