Da-Lite Advantage Electrol 184" Electric Projection Screen

Elevate every presentation with the Da-Lite Advantage Electrol 184" Electric Projection Screen, a premium solution designed for high-visibility displays in classrooms, training rooms, conference suites, and home theater environments. This model delivers a seamless, professional finish thanks to an integrated ceiling trim that conceals the rough opening, eliminating the need for additional trim work after installation. The result is a sleek, museum-quality edge that enhances room aesthetics while ensuring the projection surface is perfectly aligned and protected. Built for daily use, the Advantage Electrol line combines dependable motorized operation with durable construction, making it an ideal choice for spaces that demand reliability, ease of use, and a clean, modern look. Whether you’re delivering a corporate presentation, a college lecture, or a cinematic experience, this 184" screen provides a large, immersive image that remains crisp and engaging from every seat.

• Built-in ceiling trim for a flawless finish: The Advantage Electrol’s ceiling-trim-in-place design eliminates the need to finish the rough opening after installation. This means faster project completion, lower installation costs, and a consistently professional aesthetic across rooms. The trim integrates with standard ceiling systems, concealing seams, screws, and the screen housing so the installation looks finished and refined from the moment the room is unveiled. In busy environments like classrooms and multi-purpose auditoria, this feature minimizes post-install touch-ups and keeps the focus on your content rather than the hardware.
• Electric, quiet operation: A dependable motor retracts and extends the screen with smooth, whisper-quiet performance, allowing presentations to proceed uninterrupted in any setting. The motor is designed for frequent use, with reliable retraction and precise stop points to maintain image alignment and surface tension. The quiet operation is particularly valuable in classrooms, boardrooms, and home theatres where ambient sound can distract audiences during critical moments of a presentation or film.
• Large 184-inch diagonal for immersive viewing: The 184" diagonal creates a commanding viewing surface that accommodates large audiences and multiple seating rows. This scale is ideal for corporate briefings, training sessions, and educational environments where visual details—text clarity, graphs, charts, and high-resolution video—need to remain legible from the farthest seats. The expansive surface also supports high-resolution projectors, enabling vibrant color, strong brightness, and uniform image quality across the screen, so every viewer experiences consistent image fidelity regardless of seating position.
• Versatile viewing surfaces: Da-Lite offers a range of projection surfaces to optimize contrast, brightness, and color accuracy in diverse room conditions. With the Advantage Electrol line, you can select from multiple fabrics designed to handle ambient light, projector brightness, and room acoustics. Whether your space is bright with windows or controlled with blackout shades, there’s a surface option that preserves sharp image definition, smooth color rendition, and wide viewing angles. This adaptability makes the 184" Electrol model a flexible centerpiece for rooms that host a variety of content—from data-intensive presentations to cinematic video—without compromising image quality.
• Easy installation and seamless integration: The design emphasizes straightforward mounting and alignment, with pre-drilled mounting points and a compact housing that fits within standard ceiling or wall configurations. The integrated trim aids in achieving a precise fit in existing architectural openings, while the housing protects the screen and fabric when not in use. The system is compatible with common control methods, including wall switches and optional remotes, enabling quick control of the screen during demonstrations. For facilities teams and AV technicians, this means a faster setup, fewer call-backs, and a more reliable, professional result that stands up to daily use.

How to install Da-Lite Advantage Electrol 184" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation by selecting a mounting location that provides a clear projection path and supports the screen housing. Verify ceiling structure and determine whether you will mount to ceiling joists or use a compatible mounting framework. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the housing for operation and maintenance, and confirm electrical access near the intended location in compliance with local codes.
• Install mounting brackets to the chosen location. Use a level to ensure brackets are plumb and evenly spaced according to the screen’s mounting pattern. For ceiling installations, anchor brackets securely into structural members and use appropriate fasteners to support the weight of the motorized housing and the projection surface.
• Route power and connect the screen’s control system per the manufacturer’s instructions. Supply should meet local electrical codes, and if a remote control is included or optional, verify compatibility with the wall switch and ensure proper programming if required. Keep wiring protected and out of the way of moving components to prevent wear or interference.
• Raise and secure the screen housing in place using the provided hardware. Check that the housing sits flush with the ceiling and that the trim aligns with the surrounding architectural features. Verify that the screen deploys smoothly and that the image surface remains taut and free of wrinkles when fully extended.
• Test operation and alignment. Power on the projector, then operate the screen with the wall switch and, if installed, the remote control. Confirm that the screen fully retracts and that the edges are square with the projection area. Make any minor adjustments to alignment or limit settings as needed to ensure a consistent, artifact-free image across the entire surface.
