the Lunette’s reflective properties approach the quality of reference-grade screens. The system had been calibrated<br />
with the StudioTek 100 screen. Switching to the Lunette screen produced measurement results that didn’t change<br />
enough to justify recalibrating. The Lunette screen matched <strong>Elite</strong>’s 1.1 gain specification closely enough that I have no<br />
concerns about the 1.1 spec. While the images may not have been quite as good as the StudioTek 100 screen’s<br />
images, the Lunette’s images were more similar to the StudioTek 100 images than they were to more typical screens<br />
that steadfastly cling to the look of light reflecting from a surface rather than being a window into the alternate reality<br />
of a good HD movie. There was an excellent sense of depth in Lunette images. While the Lunette screen was less<br />
affected by light sources (or reflections) in the room than the StudioTek 100 screen, it’s not a screen I’d pick if there was<br />
always going to be light in the room. A very dark room still makes images from the Lunette screen look their best.<br />
Conclusion<br />
<strong>Elite</strong>’s Lunette screens definitely achieve <strong>Elite</strong>’s stated goal of high-end performance at mid-range prices. The Lunette<br />
screens fall just short of reference-quality performance, though, they may be a far better screen choice for the typical<br />
home theatre room than a reference quality screen that has to be used in a blacked-out environment to achieve<br />
reference-quality performance. At a cost of one-third to one-half the cost of a reference-grade screen, the Lunette<br />
screens (and ezFrame flat models) deliver near-reference images and are easier to live with in real-world theatre rooms.<br />
The Lunette screens are highly recommended for home theatre enthusiasts looking for a high-performance screen<br />
that’s easier to live with than a full-blown reference screen. WSR<br />
