VDL Supernova True ALR Screens and Displays
Deliver Exceptional Image Quality with VDL Supernova ALR Technology
Ambient light can significantly impact the performance of standard projection screens, often resulting in washed-out images and diminished visibility. VDL Supernova (formerly dnp Supernova) TrueALR Screens and Displays feature Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) technology, specifically engineered to enhance image contrast and clarity, even in environments with high levels of ambient light. With VDL Supernova ALR screens, you can experience vibrant, sharp, detailed visuals that maintain their quality in bright meeting rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms, and educational settings, for the ultimate experience for online and in-person participants and exceptional presentation quality.
At Visual Displays, our VDL Supernova True ALR Screen range is uniquely engineered with two unique micro lens surfaces: one absorbs ambient light and the other directs all projected light to viewers, providing up to 7 times the contrast of conventional front screens and outperforming other types of ALR solutions.
These screens deliver bright, crystal-clear images while maintaining superior contrast and vivid colours for more detailed viewing and enhanced viewer engagement, in any setting.

- Standards-Based Excellence: VDL Supernova ALR screens allow you to conform to AVIXA’s DISCAS (Display Image Size for 2D Content in Audiovisual Systems) and *ISCR (Image System Contrast Ratio) standards, ensuring that you achieve the best possible display size and quality for decision-making and content viewing environments.
*The ISCR standard specifies that in the Basic Decision-Making category, which applies to environments like meeting rooms, lecture theatres, presentation suites, and control rooms, a minimum contrast ratio of 15:1 is required for optimal image visibility. With VDL Supernova screens, you can be confident that your display meets these crucial benchmarks, providing excellent visibility regardless of ambient light conditions.

Key Criteria for Screens and Displays
Size
Use AVIXA’s DISCAS image size standard to specify the right size of screen to ensure optimum viewing from everywhere in the room (no ‘cheap seats’).
Performance
Use AVIXA’s ISCR image quality standard which sets out the minimum requirement as 15:1 image contrast ratio for the Basic Decision Making category that applies here - and ensure the display you choose can achieve this requirement in the specific location and lighting conditions of the room.
Viewer welfare
Screens and displays that are too bright can cause eye-strain and headaches, ensure the display you choose is suitable for comfortable, extended viewing.
Cost
It is an all-too common mistake to assume the best solution is the most expensive solution. Use your budget wisely by choosing the technology that meets your specific performance requirements, taking into account factors including purchase price, installation and maintenance costs and running costs.
Environmental Considerations
Most companies and institutions now have Environmental Charters or Targets, meaning low power consumption and recyclability is a key factor for consideration.
