Stewart Balón Edge 110" FireHawk G5 Projector Screen

Stewart Filmscreen Balón Edge 110" Fixed Frame Projection Screen – FireHawk G5

Model: BALG3E110HFHG5FLX

The Stewart Filmscreen Balón Edge 110" with FireHawk G5 combines an ultra-minimal fixed-frame design with one of Stewart’s premier ambient-light-rejecting projection surfaces. Designed for high-performance home theaters and media rooms where complete light control may not always be possible, this configuration delivers enhanced contrast, rich black levels, strong color saturation, and a clean architectural appearance.

Balón Edge surrounds the image with a remarkably slim ½-inch black Velux light-absorbing border, providing projector overscan relief and a crisp visual edge without the bulk of a traditional projection-screen frame. The Balón design keeps the image plane within approximately 1½ inches of the wall and can also accommodate Stewart’s optional LED lighting system. Stewart FilmScreen

FireHawk G5 Ambient Light Rejecting Screen

FireHawk G5 is Stewart Filmscreen’s fifth-generation flexible front-projection material engineered specifically for installations where ambient light is present. Rather than simply increasing screen brightness, FireHawk G5 is designed to preserve image contrast while rejecting off-axis ambient light.

The gray surface delivers a 1.1 peak gain with 73% ambient light rejection, helping produce deeper perceived black levels, improved shadow detail, and strong color saturation in environments that would compromise a conventional white projection surface. Stewart also specifically highlights improved off-axis viewing and increased image contrast with the current G5 generation. Stewart Filmscreen

110" 16:9 Cinematic Image

This configuration provides a 110-inch diagonal image measuring 96 inches wide × 54 inches high in a native 16:9 HDTV aspect ratio. ProjectorScreen lists the screen for 4K, 8K, and 16K resolution applications, while Stewart identifies this exact model number as its 110-inch Balón Edge with FireHawk G5 and EZ Mount.

Why Choose FireHawk G5?

FireHawk G5 is particularly valuable when a projection system needs to perform outside a completely dark dedicated theater. Its 73% ambient light rejection helps preserve contrast when room lighting or uncontrolled light would otherwise wash out the projected image.

Stewart has engineered the surface to balance ambient-light resistance with image fidelity, minimizing the color shift, hot spotting, and restricted viewing angles that can occur with more aggressive ALR screen materials. The result is a screen intended to maintain excellent black levels, shadow detail, color saturation, and image resolution while providing meaningful resistance to ambient light. Stewart Filmscreen

Minimal Frame. Maximum Image.

Balón Edge minimizes everything surrounding the picture. Its ½-inch Velux border provides a defined edge and absorbs projector overscan while allowing virtually the entire installation to be devoted to the projected image.

The Balón platform also supports an optional LED lighting system. Stewart's flush-mount design incorporates an angled LED light rail for more even illumination behind the screen, allowing the installation to become an integrated architectural element of the room. Stewart FilmScreen
