The Classic and Black Series share a merchant and a 0.6-gain profile, but the Black Series is positioned as the higher-ALR step-up line.
| Specification | NothingProjector Classic 120 | NothingProjector Black Series |
|---|---|---|
| Screen family | Classic PET Crystal | Black Series CBSP |
| Gain | 0.6 | 0.6 |
| Viewing angle | 160° | 170° |
| Published ambient-light figure | 85% ALR | 95% ALR |
| Coating | Classic lenticular | ST Carbon Black |
| Published size range | 100–150 inches in structured specs | 84–150 inches |
What the differences mean in a real buying decision
Both NothingProjector families publish 0.6 gain, so the Black Series difference is primarily its stronger merchant-published 95% ALR figure, wider 170° viewing angle and different screen material/coating. The Classic publishes 85% ALR and 160°.
Because both are from the same merchant, this is one of the cleaner spec comparisons in the site architecture. It still does not replace seeing the surfaces in your own room, but the stated figures make the Black Series the more aggressive ambient-light-control option on paper.
What does not belong in a spec-only conclusion
These brands do not necessarily use identical test setups or terminology for ambient-light rejection. Published percentages are useful signals, but they are not a substitute for a controlled head-to-head measurement. UST Screen Signal therefore avoids turning them into a made-up “winner” score.
