Why IQ 39
122 m² of lit picture · full marks at 700 m² · no source on file
IMAX Laser XT · one source
1.90:1 · the widest frame this room can show
no sound specification published
⌷ Size is scored on the picture, not the fabric. This screen is wider than the frame projected onto it, so bands at the sides are never lit and don't count.
