Description
The Draper Clarion 85" fixed-screen delivers a truly flat, edge-to-edge viewing surface that elevates image quality across every setting—from executive boardrooms and busy conference rooms to university lecture halls and immersive home theaters. This screen is built for performance with a theatre-like border and a minimalist frame that disappears behind the picture, letting your content take center stage. The Clarion XT1000V surface, paired with the sturdy fixed-frame design, offers clean, uniform brightness and generous viewing angles, ensuring vivid detail and accurate color no matter where you sit in the room. Whether you’re presenting the latest data visualization, streaming cinematic content, or delivering a lecture, this screen provides a reliable, pro-grade solution that blends seamlessly with modern interiors.
One of the standout advantages of the Clarion series is its tool-free, snaps-free attachment to a rigid frame. This means quick, tool-free installation and a secure, taut projection surface that stays perfectly flat with zero waviness or flex. The black border around the screen adds a professional “theatre-like” appearance, helping to focus attention on the image while creating a visually striking contrast against walls or décor. The fixed-frame design also resists warping and sag over time, maintaining a consistently crisp image for years of use in demanding environments. For facilities managers, AV technicians, and avid home cinema enthusiasts, the Clarion 85" provides a dependable, long-term investment in presentation quality and viewing comfort.
Designed for front projection, the 85" diagonal size delivers a generous field of view that suits a variety of room sizes and seating configurations. The 16:10 aspect ratio is ideal for productivity content, spreadsheets, and detailed data sets, while also supporting high-definition video and multimedia presentations with ample horizontal space for multiple windows, side-by-side comparisons, or expanded stage views. The surface itself—Matte White XT1000V—strikes a balance between brightness, color accuracy, and viewing comfort, yielding natural skin tones, clear text, and well-defined graphics even in rooms with ambient light. This makes the Clarion an excellent choice for day-to-day business use as well as home theater setups where faithful image reproduction matters.
Beyond its performance, the Clarion screen is engineered for streamlined integration into existing spaces. The black border frames the image without feeling heavy or intrusive, preserving sightlines and complementing contemporary office furniture and décor. The matte surface reduces hot spots and glare, enabling comfortable viewing for extended meetings or movie marathons. In environments where reliable, repeatable results matter—think corporate training, university seminars, or multi-purpose media rooms—the Clarion 85" stands out for its combination of flatness, commitment to image fidelity, and easy maintenance.
In short, this screen is built to deliver professional-grade projection quality with a simple, sophisticated installation experience. It’s a solution that suits high-use settings and demanding workloads while still feeling approachable for home users who demand cinema-quality visuals without the complexity of a ceiling-mounted or motorized system. With Draper’s reputation for innovation, durability, and service, the Clarion 85" fixed frame is a safe choice for those who value clarity, reliability, and a clean aesthetic in equal measure.
