A true home cinema is not created simply by buying a projector. It comes to life when the projector, screen, ambient light, and living space design work together as one system. That is exactly why the Aetherion Series was developed: as a 4K RGB laser UST solution for anyone who wants a big-screen cinema experience at home without mounting a classic projector on the ceiling.
Whether you watch films in 4K, plan sports nights with friends, enjoy low-latency gaming, or want to turn your living room into a large entertainment center: the Aetherion Series can be the heart of your setup.
The most important decision is therefore not just: Aetherion Pro or Aetherion Max? But also: Which screen suits my room? And which bundle really makes sense for my home?
The projector: Aetherion Pro or Aetherion Max?
Aetherion Pro and Aetherion Max share the same premium focus. Both offer 4K clarity at up to 200 inches, RGB laser technology, 6000:1 native contrast, PixelLock™ technology, Anti-RBE in 2D and 3D, 110% Rec.2020 color gamut coverage, plus VRR and 1 ms latency for gaming.
The key difference is brightness.
The Aetherion Pro delivers 2600 ISO lumens. It is ideal for rooms where you can control the light well: evening movie nights, a darkened living room, a gaming room, or a dedicated home theater area. If you mostly watch with the curtains closed or in darker environments, the Pro offers a very strong balance of picture quality, features, and value for money.
The Aetherion Max delivers 3300 ISO lumens, making it the stronger all-rounder. It is recommended for bright living rooms, larger image sizes, daytime sports broadcasts, family nights, or users who do not want to darken the room completely every time. The additional brightness provides more headroom and a punchier image, especially when some ambient light remains in the room.
Our recommendation: If you are planning a classic home cinema in a well-controlled room, Aetherion Pro is the smart choice. If you want a living room setup with maximum flexibility, Aetherion Max is the safer and more future-proof decision.
The projection surface: Which screen suits your room?
With an ultra short-throw projector, the screen is not just an accessory. It determines how clean, contrast-rich, and even the image looks. A regular wall can have small bumps, texture, or color differences that become more noticeable with UST projection. A suitable screen creates a flat projection surface and helps the image look more controlled.
For most users, the choice of screen can be made based on the room type.
For controlled living rooms: Cinematic ALR screen
The Cinematic ALR screen is the obvious choice if you are planning a fixed living room home cinema with good contrast and a wide viewing angle. It is especially suited to rooms where light can be controlled, but where complete darkness is not always present.
This screen pairs very well with Aetherion Pro if you mostly watch in the evening. Combined with Aetherion Max, it becomes the stronger all-round solution for living rooms where viewing also happens during the day or with some ambient light.
For minimalist spaces: Motorized floor-rising screen
If you do not want your home cinema to stay visible all the time, a motorized floor-rising screen is the more elegant solution. It only deploys when needed and disappears again after use. This is especially useful in modern living rooms where design, tidiness, and flexible use matter.
This solution fits Aetherion Max best because the higher brightness offers more flexibility for different everyday situations. If you want a large image but do not want a permanently visible screen on the wall, this is the option to choose.
For an integrated premium setup: Station
If you are looking for more than just a projector and screen, and want a more integrated living space solution, consider a setup with Station. The Station makes the system look more organized and helps bring the technology, screen, and room design together more seamlessly.
This is especially interesting if you want the home cinema to feel less like a temporary projector setup and more like a permanent part of the living room.
Image size: 100 inches, 120 inches, or larger?
The right image size depends not only on what the projector can do, but also on what your room can practically support.
100 inches is ideal for more compact living rooms, apartments, or users upgrading from a large TV to a much bigger image. It already feels distinctly like home cinema, while still being easier to integrate into the room.
120 inches is the sweet spot for many users. Movies, sports, and gaming feel much more immersive without automatically overwhelming the room. If wall space and viewing distance fit, 120 inches is usually the better long-term choice.
Larger projections are generally possible with Aetherion. However, with very large image sizes, room planning becomes more important: the bigger the image, the more brightness and image impact are spread across the surface. For large projections, brighter rooms, or frequent daytime use, Aetherion Max is therefore the better foundation.

From projector to your personal home cinema
An Aetherion setup is more than a technical upgrade. It changes how a living room is used: movies feel bigger, sports nights become more social, gaming feels more immediate, and the room gains a new entertainment layer without losing its comfort.
Whether Pro or Max, Cinematic ALR screen or motorized solution: the right choice does not depend on which setup looks biggest on paper. What matters is which system fits your everyday life. Aetherion turns home cinema into not a separate project, but a natural part of the home: flexible, immersive, and ready for every evening when entertainment should be more than just a screen.
