Great sound and a great picture should work as one. The screen you pick shapes both. Seymour Screen Excellence builds screens that let sound pass through the fabric. Your speakers can then sit behind the screen, right where they belong.
Theater One has built entertainment rooms in Tacoma and Puyallup since 2000. Below we answer the questions we hear most. What do these screens do well? What does a pro install add? Here are plain answers.
What are the key advantages of Seymour Screen Excellence screens?
These screens give you four core wins. Sound passes through the fabric with little loss. The picture stays sharp and true to the source. You can order the size, shape, and material you want. And the image looks good from nearly every seat in the room.
Acoustic transparency
The woven fabric lets sound pass through with minimal distortion. You can place your center, left, and right speakers behind the screen. Voices then come from the screen itself, not from below it.
Reference-quality picture
These screens deliver top-tier picture quality with strong clarity and fine detail. That holds true for movies, sports, and games alike.
Customization options
You can pick the screen size, the aspect ratio, and the material. That lets you fit the screen to your room and your taste. No two rooms are the same.
Ultra-wide viewing angles
The screens hold a bright, even picture across wide angles. Guests in the end seats see the same vivid image. No one has to hunt for a sweet spot.
Which design and compatibility features matter most?
Three more traits set these screens apart. The frame is slim, so nothing pulls your eye off the movie. The screens work with a wide range of projectors. And they are built to last, so the room stays current as your gear changes over time.
Minimal edge distraction
The screens use narrow bezels and a sleek, low-key frame. Your eye stays on the content, not on the border. The clean look also suits a finished media room.
Compatibility with leading projectors
Seymour Screen Excellence screens work with a wide range of projectors. That makes setup simple, whatever brand you choose.
A future-proof investment
These screens are built for long-term durability and performance. As home theater tech moves on, the screen stays relevant. You can swap the projector later and keep the screen you have.
What does Theater One bring to the installation?
We have built entertainment rooms since 2000. Our team sizes the screen, sets the speakers behind it, and tunes the room. We match the gear you own, or we help you pick new gear. Every job is shaped around your room and your budget.
Expertise and experience
Our team has deep experience with home theater installs. We know how screens, speakers, and projectors work together. That keeps the job smooth from the first plan to the final tune.
Customized solutions
We tailor the install to your needs and your taste. Room size, seat count, and screen height all shape the plan. You tell us the vision. We handle the detail.
Equipment compatibility
We pair these screens with projectors and audio gear from many brands. We check that each piece works with the rest well before install day.
How does Theater One handle the finish and follow-up?
Good sound and picture come from the room, not just the gear. We look at acoustics, light, and where the seats go. We hide the wires and blend the system into your decor. After install, we stay on call for tuning and repairs.
Attention to detail
We weigh room acoustics, lighting, and the seating layout. Small choices here shape how the room sounds and looks. The goal is a room that performs at its best.
Post-installation support
We provide ongoing support, including upkeep and troubleshooting. If something acts up, call us. We help keep the system in good shape over time.
Aesthetic integration
Tech should suit the room, not fight it. We plan the screen, speakers, and racks so they fit the look of your home.
Time and cost efficiency
A pro install saves time and helps you avoid costly mistakes. The system goes in right the first time. That means fewer callbacks and less rework later.
Why is acoustic transparency so important?
Acoustic transparency lets sound pass through the screen with little distortion. That matters most when your speakers sit behind the screen. Voices and effects then line up with the image you see. The result is clear audio that feels tied to the picture.
How do these screens cut edge distraction?
Seymour Screen Excellence screens use narrow bezels and a plain, slim frame. There is no bright trim to pull your eye away. Your focus stays on the image. The clean edge also helps the screen blend into a finished room.
What makes these screens a future-proof buy?
A future-proof buy means the screen stays useful for years. These screens are made to hold their performance as tech moves on. You can upgrade the projector or the audio gear and keep the same screen. That protects the money you put in.
Bringing the screen and the install together
A fine screen and a careful install work as a pair. The screen sets the ceiling for picture and sound. The install decides how close you get to it. Put the two together and the room stops feeling like a plain living room.
Maybe you host movie nights. Maybe you game for hours, or just want a quiet place to unwind. The room should suit the way you use it. That is the aim of every build we take on.
Frequently asked questions about Seymour Screen Excellence screens
Homeowners in Tacoma and Puyallup tend to ask us the same handful of things. Here are short answers on price, speaker placement, picture quality, screen size, and care. If your question is not on this list, give us a call and ask.
How much does a Seymour Screen Excellence screen cost?
Price depends on the size, the material, and the frame style. A fixed screen for a mid-size room costs less than a wide, masked screen. We price the screen along with the projector and speakers, since those choices are linked. Ask us for a quote.
Do my speakers have to go behind the screen?
No, but it helps. The screen is made to let sound through, so behind-screen speakers are an option. That layout ties voices to the picture on screen. If your room will not allow it, we can plan a front or side layout instead.
Will an acoustically transparent screen hurt the picture?
A well made woven screen keeps the image sharp. The weave is fine, and the screen gets matched to your projector and throw distance. Issues like moire come from a poor match, not from the screen itself. We check that pairing before we order.
What size screen should I get for my room?
Screen size follows seating distance, ceiling height, and projector output. A screen that is too large can look dim, or force you to sit too close. We measure the room first, then pick a size. Most rooms land in a fairly narrow range.
How do I clean and care for the screen?
Keep it simple. Dust the frame with a dry cloth and leave the fabric alone. Do not spray any cleaner on the screen surface. If the fabric picks up a mark, call us before you try to treat it on your own.
