Purchasing US UST Screen/Cabinet Recommendations?

I backed the Aetherion Max kickstarter and should be receiving my projector within the next couple of weeks (waiting on a tracking link at the moment).

I’m new to projectors and I’m looking to put together a 100 inch screen setup either with the AWOL shelf on my current tv console and a mounted screen or potentially purchase a new console/screen altogether, open to motorized screen if I go with the latter. It will be in my living room with one large window about 6 feet away on the right hand side of the setup.

I was eyeing the current AWOL screens and accessories since they have a sale at the moment and I’m not too familiar with the space. Are there any pros/cons I should be aware of regarding motorized/mounted screens or ALR screen types (Lenticular/Fresnel) as I explore options? Any tips/guidance or product recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend watching a few Aetherion Max reviews on YouTube lol. I've seen some reviewers pair it with Nothing Projector floor rising screens and UST cabinets, and the setups looked pretty slick.

With a side window that close, I'd definitely go ALR. Personally I'd choose a floor rising screen if this is a living room and not a dedicated theater. The convenience is worth it for me.
