Screen Innovations Screens for Luxury Home Theaters in Nevada
You built your Lake Tahoe or Reno home around the view. A Screen Innovations screen lets you keep it: a cinema-sized picture that appears when it's showtime and disappears when it's not, planned and installed by Sierra Integrated Systems.
Authorized Screen Innovations Dealer | Serving Reno & Lake Tahoe
Screen Innovations Screens Bring True Cinema Home
Screen Innovations makes premium projection screens for luxury home theaters and media rooms. The company earned its reputation by inventing Black Diamond, the first screen designed to deliver a clear picture even with the lights on, and by building every screen by hand. The result is a big, bright picture on a screen designed to look as good as the room around it.
For you, that means you never have to choose between the big picture and the room itself. The picture looks rich and true to the filmmaker's intent, and when the screen is retracted, the windows, the fireplace wall, and the view are exactly as your architect drew them. Screen Innovations projection screens come in fixed, motorized, and ceiling-recessed formats in a wide range of sizes, so there's an option for a purpose-built cinema and for a relaxed family media room.
Paired with Sony projection, CinemaTech seating, and premium audio from the brands we trust, a Screen Innovations screen becomes the centerpiece of a theater that rivals any multiplex in Reno or Truckee, with far better seats.
Ambient Light Rejecting Screens Made for Daytime Viewing
Many of the most beautiful homes in Reno and around Lake Tahoe are also the brightest, with walls of glass framing mountain and lake views. That’s only exacerbated by winter snow glare bouncing through those lake-view windows, and high-altitude sun. A traditional screen washes out the moment daylight enters the room. Ambient light-rejecting screens from Screen Innovations are engineered to reject much of that light, so your picture keeps its punch whether the shades are open or closed.
Watch Any Time of Day
Enjoy a matinee, the morning news, or an afternoon game without waiting for the sun to go down.
Richer Contrast and Color
Retain deep blacks and vivid colors even when the room isn't fully dark.
No Blackout Room Required
Get a cinema-sized image in a great room or media room that stays open, bright, and inviting.
Made for Gatherings
Keep the lights up for game day and parties while every guest still gets a great picture.
The Perfect Partner for Motorized Shades
Pair your screen with motorized shades for complete control over natural light at the touch of a button.
Motorized Projection Screens That Vanish on Cue
Motorized and Recessed
When the credits roll, your screen shouldn't dominate the room. Motorized projection screens from Screen Innovations descend when it's showtime and retract out of view when you're done, returning the space to a living room, library, or great room.
Flush-mount options like Zero-G disappear into the ceiling behind a concealed door, preserving an uninterrupted ceiling plane. Its cable-suspended design leaves the area above the picture open, so windows and architectural details stay in view. For rooms that call for a fixed screen, Zero Edge frames feature an ultra-thin bezel that reads more like a gallery piece than equipment.
Designed for Luxury Interiors
For designers and architects, the goal is technology that complements luxury design rather than competing with it. We coordinate screen placement with the lighting plan, millwork, coffered ceilings, and material palette. We also work with the project team to put screen pockets, power, and control wiring on the reflected ceiling plan before framing begins.
The result is visual continuity throughout the room and a finished space that enhances your vision instead of changing it. We provide drawings and documentation along the way, and we welcome collaboration with designers and architects from the earliest stages of a project.
Dedicated Cinema or Media Room? Find Your Ideal Screen
Every home theater projection screen we specify starts with one simple question: how will you use the room? You might be planning a purpose-built private cinema in a Lake Tahoe retreat or a flexible family space in a new Reno home. Either way, Screen Innovations has a solution to match.
| Consideration | Dedicated Home Theater | Media Room |
|---|---|---|
| Room Purpose | Purpose-built for movies and immersive entertainment | Multi-use space for TV, gaming, and entertaining |
| Light Control | Fully controlled, often without windows in the room | Open to daylight and ambient light |
| Screen Approach | Large fixed or motorized screen, sized for immersion | Ambient light rejecting motorized screen that retracts when not in use |
| Seating | Tiered CinemaTech seating and acoustic treatments | Sofas and lounge seating that suit everyday living |
| Design Priority | Performance and escape | Versatility and a room that looks beautiful with the screen away |
Not sure which describes your space? Many of our clients land somewhere in between, and that's exactly what a consultation is for. Explore our dedicated home theater and media room solutions to see what's possible.
One Touch to Showtime With Sony and Smart Home Control
A great screen is at its best as part of a complete system. Here's how your Screen Innovations screen works with the rest of your theater.
Designed Around Your Sony Projector
Screen and projector perform as a pair. We match your screen to your Sony projector based on room size, viewing distance, and the amount of light the space receives. The result is a picture that's bright, balanced, and comfortable to watch for hours.
One-Touch Movie Scenes
With a Control4 or Crestron system, a single "Movie" button lowers the screen, dims the lights, closes the shades, and powers up the projector. Press "Goodnight" and everything returns to rest. Learn more about smart home automation.
Sound That Surrounds You
Acoustically transparent options such as Slate AT let speakers sit directly behind the screen, so dialogue comes from the picture itself. We pair your screen with architectural in-wall and in-ceiling speakers from brands like James Loudspeaker and Wisdom Audio.
Light, Perfectly Managed
Lutron lighting control and motorized shades, including Screen Innovations' own shade collection, give you precise command over every source of light in the room.
Simple for the Whole Family
Everything runs from one intuitive remote, touch panel, or smartphone app. We'll walk you through the system after installation and remain available whenever you need a hand.

Common Questions About Screen Innovations Screens
For most window-rich Lake Tahoe homes, an ambient light-rejecting screen paired with motorized shades is the best combination. The screen preserves contrast and color when daylight fills the room, while the shades give you full control when it's time for a true cinema experience.
Ideally during the design phase, and no later than framing. That's when we can build the ceiling pocket, run power and control wiring, and coordinate the screen's location with your lighting and ceiling details. Retrofits are possible, but planning early keeps the finish clean and the budget predictable.
Yes. Screen Innovations offers outdoor screen models that can turn a patio or deck into a summer movie venue. Because Truckee and Incline Village experience cold winters and changing mountain weather, we'll recommend the right screen for your space and a plan to protect it when the season ends.
It depends on how big you want the image, how much light the room receives, and how you want the room to look when nothing is playing. Large TVs excel in very bright spaces. A projector and screen deliver a much larger, more cinematic image and completely disappear with a motorized or recessed screen.
We select the screen and projector together, matching the screen material and size to your Sony projector, the room's dimensions, and its lighting. The result is a picture that's bright, balanced, and comfortable to watch from every seat.
Yes. With a Control4 or Crestron system, one press of a "Movie" button can lower your screen, dim the lights, close the shades, and power on the projector. It also works with voice control when your system is set up for it.
The most effective approaches are ceiling-recessed motorized screens that retract out of view, thin-profile frames for fixed installations, and acoustically transparent screens to hide speakers behind the picture. Bringing us in early lets us coordinate placement on the reflected ceiling plan and protect your design intent.
A retracted motorized screen stays protected from dust, sunlight, and accidental damage while you're gone. With a Parasol service plan, our team can support your system remotely, so your theater is ready the moment you arrive.
