Stewart Filmscreen Corporation, the industry leader in precision projection screen technologies for the home cinema and commercial markets, has announced the availability of the StarLift, a motorized mechanism designed to raise and lower the innovative StarGlas rear projection screen. The StarLift was exhibited at the CES show ion Las Vegas. StarGlas is a remarkable engineering and visual achievement that takes a thin image layer and sandwiches it between two pieces of glass.

The StarLift is a convenient and efficient way to house this large piece of glass, allowing an installer to place a StarGlas screen virtually anywhere such as in a bedroom or media room. The StarLift mechanism can be integrated into a piece of furniture, allowing the screen to be hidden from view until needed. The StarLift is available in two models and comes pre-installed with a StarGlas screen. The 65H (diagonal) can be fully extended with a height of 34-inches and 57-inches wide. The larger 72H (diagonal) is 37-inches high with a width of 63-inches. Stewart Filmscreen has been already honored with prestigious CEA Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Award for new StarGlas rear projection screen material. The pricing for the StarLift starts at $8,999 for the 65H version.
