Da-Lite Advantage Series Ceiling-Recessed Electric Projection Screen – 130" Diagonal

The Da-Lite Advantage Series Ceiling-Recessed Electric Projection Screen is a purpose-built solution for achieving a clean, professional look in any room where space and aesthetics matter. Designed to install with the ceiling trim already in place, this screen hides rough openings and eliminates the need for additional trim work once the large-format screen is set. The result is a sleek, low-profile presentation surface that blends seamlessly with modern interiors while delivering cinema-quality image clarity. Built for frequent use in classrooms, conference rooms, home theaters, and corporate spaces, the 130-inch diagonal screen offers expansive viewing for audiences while maintaining the crisp geometry needed for accurate color reproduction and sharp detail. The plenum-rated case ensures compliance with building codes in air-handling spaces, giving installers confidence that the installation is safe, durable, and up to spec for commercial environments. Whether you’re presenting data, streaming HD content, or delivering a big-screen movie night, this screen provides a reliable, high-performance platform that stands up to daily use and rapid deployment.

• Premium ceiling-recessed design: The Advantage Series is engineered to install with ceiling trim already in place, masking the rough opening and delivering a clean, professional finish. This design reduces post-install work and distraction, making it ideal for new construction projects or retrofits where a polished ceiling line is a priority. The result is a visually seamless screen that looks as good as it performs.
• Electric operation with plenum-rated case: A robust electric motor powers smooth, quiet operation, while the plenum-rated steel case provides the durability and code compliance required for ceiling installations in commercial spaces. The combination ensures long-term reliability, consistent retraction, and worry-free performance in high-traffic environments.
• Generous 130" diagonal viewing area: With a large, panoramic 130-inch screen, this model delivers immersive visuals for classrooms, training rooms, and home theaters alike. The broad viewing surface supports wide seating arrangements and creates an engaging experience for large groups, while maintaining uniform brightness and accurate image geometry across the entire image.
• Two-stage installation for flexible, rapid setup: The two-stage installation process enables contractors to begin rough-in work before the ceiling is finished, and complete final assembly after trim in place. This flexibility simplifies scheduling, reduces on-site complexity, and minimizes disruption to ongoing projects while still delivering a high-quality, flush-mount result.
• Easy operation and intuitive control: The screen includes user-friendly control options, including a remote control for convenient, room-wide operation and compatibility with standard wall switches. The quiet motor minimizes ambient noise during presentations, while consistent retraction and precise stopping ensure the image remains perfectly aligned and ready for immediate use.
