Quick comparison
| Family | Typical listed gain | Listed ALR | Viewing tendency | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresnel | 1.2 | >95% merchant-stated | More directional | Side light, centered seating |
| Black Series | 0.6 | 95% merchant-stated | Very wide listed angle | Wide seating, strong contrast focus |
| PET Crystal Classic | 0.6 on current fixed-frame selector listings | 85% merchant-stated | Wide lenticular-style viewing | Value-oriented UST setups |
Fresnel: brightness and multi-direction light control
The Fresnel family emphasizes higher on-axis gain and aggressive ambient-light management. The trade-off is a more position-sensitive viewing experience.
Black Series: wide seating and lower gain
The current Black Series listing advertises 0.6 gain, 95% ALR and a 170° viewing angle, plus sizes extending well beyond 120 inches. That makes it structurally different from the Fresnel choice.
PET Crystal Classic: simpler value proposition
The Classic PET Crystal line is positioned as a more affordable UST ALR option with lower stated ambient-light rejection than the Fresnel and Black Series. It can suit rooms where ceiling-light control matters more than severe side light.
Which one maps to the promoted Fresnel offer
Choose the Fresnel category when strong daylight/side-light control and centered viewing matter most. Choose a lenticular family when wide seating, larger size availability or retractable formats are more important.
