Basically the material is (on a very tiny scale) ridged/zigzagged so that one facet is facing your projector directly and the other side of the "ridge" is catching the light from above/ahead/the rest of the room. That way your eye only sees the portion that's bouncing back the full-strength projected image at you, rather than a washed-out picture that's competing with the rest of the ambient light. A diagram helps to explain this, too.
I want one, the above excerpt is how I'd attempt to sell my wife on the idea. I would not succeed. Hope this helps you!
don't trust the original $1800 price tag. this is only worth $200.
actually don't trust anything hisense said.
Alot if you have a short throw projector and any kind of ambient or outside lighting while you watch it.

My understanding is 'standard' projectors would still need very short throw to utilize this and that ultra short throw benefit immensely. I wanna see a video on someone trying with a 'standard' projector
I ended up just buying a good quality alr screen from AliExpress, much cheaper to just go directly to the source seller. Can be a bit of crapshoot if you don't get what you want though.

Thank you. Sounds like a gimmick more than anything.
There is a scammer on YouTube , black series edition, that sells home Depot grey paint that he mixed with other junk paint and he sells it for 100x the homedepot price lol. Once in a while I take time to downvote his videos so he can't scam more people.
The only thing I agree is screen being dark. In my previous house I used to project on a dark brown wall and colors and contrast was incredible. In my now house I have a regular motorized white screen and I don't get anywhere near that kind of colors and contrast. One day I'm going to paint it black haha.

150 inch screen are costing around 900$ .. I was not able to find anything cheaper . What size did you get and price
"...if your projector can handle a bigger screen":
I would research what would be the biggest screen that a PJ can handle, based on specs and also what other ppl say that used it.
I personally have Hisense PJ & 120" screen

my bad - i just checked and i actually got it from alibaba, not aliexpress.
If you google "SNOWHITE 80 100 120 inch ALR PET screen for long throw projector black diamond projection screen fixed frame projector screen " you will see the one i bought.
I paid around 400 including shipping when i bought it (100inch), but it seems to be cheaper now. That one doesn't have a 150 inch model so i would suggest looking at their other products.

Thanks for sharing.
But wouldn't the size needs depend on the size of room and how far away that you are sitting from it?

I have yet to see any ALR screen cost less than $500.
