Overview

Stewart Filmscreen Balón Edge 135" Fixed Frame Projection Screen – StudioTek 130 G4

Model: BALG3E135HST13G4FLX

The Stewart Filmscreen Balón Edge 135" pairs an ultra-minimal fixed-frame design with Stewart’s reference-grade StudioTek 130 G4 projection surface. With a substantial 135-inch image and an exceptionally narrow black border, this configuration is designed for high-performance home theaters, private cinemas, and media rooms where image quality and architectural integration are equally important.

Balón Edge uses a ½-inch black Velux border to provide projector overscan control and a clean, defined transition around the projected image without the visual weight of a conventional wide-frame screen. Stewart’s Balón system features a low-profile design that keeps the image plane close to the wall and conceals the screen attachment system behind the frame. Stewart FilmScreen

StudioTek 130 G4 Reference Projection Surface

StudioTek 130 G4 is Stewart Filmscreen’s fourth-generation reference projection material. Its proprietary optical coating is engineered for exceptional color accuracy, white-field uniformity, sharp image focus, and reduced visible sparkle.

With 1.3 peak gain, StudioTek 130 G4 provides approximately 30% greater brightness than a matte-white screen surface. The combination of increased brightness and an 80° half-gain viewing angle makes it particularly well suited to larger-screen premium projection systems where maintaining image luminance without sacrificing viewing uniformity is critical.

StudioTek 130 G4 is also THX certified and engineered for the high dynamic range and fine image detail produced by modern high-resolution projectors. Stewart FilmScreen

135" 16:9 Cinematic Image

This Balón Edge configuration delivers a 135-inch diagonal image measuring 118 inches wide × 66 inches high in a native 16:9 HDTV aspect ratio. Stewart specifically identifies BALG3E135HST13G4FLX as the 135-inch Balón Edge configuration using StudioTek 130 G4. Stewart FilmScreen

At nearly ten feet of viewable image width, the 135-inch Balón Edge creates a genuinely cinematic presentation while its minimalist frame keeps attention focused on the picture rather than the screen structure.

Minimal Frame. Maximum Image.

Balón Edge is engineered to make the screen structure visually disappear into the theater. From the front, the viewer sees the projected image surrounded by only the narrow ½-inch black Velux border, while the screen material and attachment system remain concealed behind the frame.

The Balón platform also supports optional LED lighting, with Stewart incorporating a 60-degree LED light rail designed to distribute illumination behind the screen evenly. Stewart FilmScreen

Designed for Large-Screen Reference Cinema

At 135 inches diagonal, screen material becomes particularly important. StudioTek 130 G4's 1.3 gain helps preserve image brightness across the larger surface while maintaining the color accuracy, uniformity, and fine image detail expected from a reference projection system.

For the best results, projector output, throw distance, viewing distance, room lighting, screen gain, and image size should be engineered together rather than selected independently.
