Stewart Screens are 16K Ready, But What Does That Mean?

There is a lot of talk about 16K resolution. But, what really matters when we talk about 16K is the size of the display and how far away the viewer is from the display. The resolution ability of the human eye is constant. However, the eye’s ability to see intricate details changes significantly as you create distance and move away from the display. For instance, the detail you can see on a phone or laptop screen is very different from the level of detail you can see on a projected screen surface as seen from the appropriate viewing distance. 

For front projection, all Stewart fabrics are capable of resolving in excess of 16K on a ten foot wide screen which is at least double what the human eye can resolve when you are viewing from the appropriate distance. For rear projection, Stewart Filmscreen serves simulation clients who are aggressively combining multiple projectors on single screen surfaces resulting in astounding pixel densities, reaching a minimum of six line pairs per millimeter.
