AWOL Vision is launching one final preorder deal before its Aetherion projectors hit retail. In addition to early bird pricing, this time the projectors will be bundled with a free screen. In other words, instead of just discounting the hardware, the company is pitching a full setup.
Select bundles will pair the Aetherion Max or Aetherion Pro with a Cinematic ALR screen valued at up to $850. An Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen can significantly improve real-world viewing, and screens are where projector costs can unexpectedly stack up for first-time buyers. AWOL’s upcoming deals mean shoppers can sidestep one of the more expensive add-ons of a projector setup.
