Using a tab-tensioned screen said to be NOT USTPJ-compatible with a USTPJ?
Hi experts,
I had tried a USTPJ with normal non-tensioned non-ALR non-CLR screens in a light-controlled room, and the only problem to my eyes was the distorted image due to groovy screen surfaces. I see many tab-tensioned screens said to be incompatible with USTPJ selling much cheaper than the UST-compatible ones. If the screen material is NOT ALR like my trials earlier, it reduces the image distortion significantly so would be acceptable to me. Am I thinking this right? Please let me know what you think. I am particularly looking at this one below:

Thank you for you advice. Unfortunately, fixed frame is not an option for me due to WAF issues. Can I interpret your answer that at least non-ALR tab-tensioned screens can work with USTPJ for a while?Yeah, they can get 'wavy' over time. Fixed frame is recommended for UST's.

Anything that's not fixed frame will probably get noticeably wavy (with a UST) after awhile.Thank you for you advice. Unfortunately, fixed frame is not an option for me due to WAF issues. Can I interpret your answer that at least non-ALR tab-tensioned screens can work with USTPJ for a while?
