  Might be better posting this question in /r/hometheater

  Lots of knowledgeable people in there, and while the advice tends to be more US-centric, you will definitely get all the right facts you need to make the right decision.

  As I understand it, UST requires a specifically made screen which has fibers aligned in the correct way to bounce the upwardly projected light at the seating position for the best enjoyment. Good luck on your search!

  I was on the same boat as you.. After a lot of research, I ended up buying XY screens PET crystal (best for UST) 120 inch ALR screen as this is the best value for money ( paid around $1350 AUD including shipping) that I could find. Bought off Ali express as better return policy etc.. Try reaching them directly if you're keen. Make sure you choose PET crystal material as that suits better for UST. It's shipped directly from china and reached me to Sydney in 4 days.. I bought lsp9t version (triple laser model), and moving to new home in 2 weeks, so haven't opened it yet..

  Other options that I considered are
  1) Akia screen clr4 (shipped from usa)
  2) Screen innovations ALR screen (from USA)
  3) Elite ALR screens (expensive but same quality as XY screens).. If you go to Samsung Australia official website and check LSP9T or LSP7T model and scroll below, you can find 15% discount coupon code for a local sourced product.. It's still costs around $2600 or so. But you get local warranty.
  4) vividstorm floor rising screen. Also expensive and I found out somewhere l that the fabric gets damaged if it's opened and closed often so didn't opt for this.

  Hope this helps!

    Hey Krish
    I'm so grateful I came across your your comments on this thread.
    I too have bought a Samsung Premiere LSP9T Triple laser UST and am looking for a CLR projector screen.

    Since you were about to shift into your new home and were yet to try it out, I'm keen to know if the 4K results were satisfactory. Rainbow effects etc.

    Is this the screen you are recommending? Link Below.

    Also Samsung recommends CLR the link below is for ALR, do you think it makes a difference?

    I'll be grateful to hear from you I am in Canberra and am considering ordering from XY screens

      Came across this thread while googling haha. If you're still on the hunt for a UST screen there are some decent quality ALR screens at competitive prices here.

      After doing a bit of research placed an order for the 120" XY Screen PET Crystal myself a couple of days ago for $1549 delivered. Not exactly sure about the $1350 the poster above was quoting (maybe it was back when the Aussie dollar was rocketing along) but I couldn't find it any cheaper elsewhere. Still apparently one of the best bang for buck ALR screens out there for USTs. Hope that helps.

  I've just spotted this item has dropped in price on banggood to $683.45 + $65 shipping and is from their AU warehouse
  Although its 100' not 120' I'm thinking it may be a good buy.
  Not even sure if anyone can answer this, if later down the path I purchase a regular projector, is an ALR short throw screen suitable for it, or its only suitable for UST throw projectors? Ie I may move this screen upstairs to go with a traditional projector and buy another 120' for the UST projector.

  Leaving here to sus out later. I figured others might find useful 🤓
  I'm on the hunt atm, but having trouble trying to find bigger than 120". XY screens seems to be the most affordable, and they go bigger, but that's because they join two pieces together (which is only apparently only visible up close when the projector is off). Yes, the reviewer isn't local, but some good info i rekon.
