how to install Da-Lite Cinema Contour 123" Fixed Frame Projection Screen

Installing the Cinema Contour is a straightforward process that rewards careful preparation and precise alignment. Begin by selecting the ideal wall for mounting—preferably a solid, stud-backed surface. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs and mark the mounting locations. Measure twice to ensure the frame will sit level and square within the room’s layout. Gather the installation hardware included with the frame or recommended by Da-Lite, and verify that you have a level, a drill, and appropriate wall anchors for your wall type. With the frame assembled, hold the screen against the wall to confirm positioning and confirm that the bottom edge is at the desired height for comfortable viewing from your seating arrangement. Secure the frame to the wall using the provided mounting components, ensuring even torque at each fastener to maintain flatness across the screen plane. Once the frame is affixed, carefully attach the screen fabric or viewing surface to the frame according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring no slack or distortion at the edges. In environments with ambient light, consider additional light-control measures such as blackout curtains or window treatments to maximize contrast. Finally, align your projector with the screen, adjust keystone and lens shift settings for a perfectly square image, and run a full calibration to optimize color, brightness, and gamma across the screen. Routine checks every few months will help preserve the screen’s flatness and the frame’s stability, preserving the pristine cinematic experience you expect from Da-Lite.
