Uncompromising Picture Quality
AWOL Vision has focused intensely on delivering a truly exceptional image. The Aetherion Max boasts a brightness of 3,300 ISO lumens, while the Aetherion Pro offers 2,600 ISO lumens. Both models utilize a Diamond-Like Carbon-coated lens system, meticulously engineered to maximize light transmission and minimize distracting reflections.
You’ll experience stunning clarity and detail thanks to a 6,000:1 native contrast ratio. AWOL’s proprietary EBL Shadow Refinement tools further enhance the picture, dynamically adjusting brightness and shadow detail on a scene-by-scene basis for optimal impact. This results in the sharpest 4K UST picture AWOL Vision has ever created, with remarkable edge-to-edge precision and long-term stability.
Furthermore, the Aetherion projectors tackle a common UST challenge: rainbow artifacts. Advanced Anti-RBE processing effectively suppresses these visual distractions, making the system more enjoyable for even the most sensitive viewers.
