- Immersive 189" diagonal for a true cinema presence The Cinema Contour 189" screen delivers a massive viewing area that fills large rooms with a lifelike sense of scale. Its widescreen 16:9 format is optimized for today’s HD and 4K content, ensuring that movies, streaming, and gaming look expansive without sacrificing detail or clarity. The fixed-frame design keeps the surface perfectly taught, so you won’t see waviness or wrinkling that can degrade image sharpness. With this size, seating arrangements can be more flexible, allowing multiple viewers to enjoy a theater-like experience from different vantage points while maintaining a consistent image geometry across the entire screen. The 189" footprint also pairs exceptionally well with mid-to-large throw projectors, helping you maximize brightness, color accuracy, and pixel density for a truly immersive home cinema experience.
- Wider, substantial frame that anchors the image The Cinema Contour frame is purpose-built to provide a definitive, cinema-style border that guides the eye and frames the image with purpose. A generous border helps deliver a perception of higher contrast by isolating the picture from ambient room elements, which is especially beneficial in rooms that aren’t completely dark. The frame’s dark, premium finish adds a refined aesthetic to your theater space, enhancing overall room design while maintaining focus on the content. Installers appreciate the robust construction and consistent geometry that the frame maintains around the entire surface, enabling uniform tension and a wrinkle-free view. This combination of form and function means the screen not only looks premium on mount but also behaves superbly during dynamic, fast-paced content where edge clarity and stability matter most.
- Surface technology optimized for 4K and Ultra HD The Cinema Contour’s projection surface is engineered to excel with today’s high-resolution projectors, including 4K and HDR content. The surface is designed to deliver sharp detail, accurate color reproduction, and uniform brightness across the viewing area, ensuring that vibrant greens, deep blues, and skin tones render authentically. With minimal grain and a matte finish that reduces glare and hot spots, the image remains comfortable to view from wide seating angles. Viewers seated off-center still experience consistent color and contrast, which is essential for family movie nights, sports viewing, and immersive gaming sessions. This surface technology helps you realize the full potential of your projector, delivering film-like texture and depth without sacrificing brightness or clarity when the lights are on or during daytime content.
- Durable build, simple maintenance, and versatile installation A fixed-frame screen like Cinema Contour is designed for long-term reliability in busy spaces. The frame is constructed from rigid materials that resist warping and maintain accurate tension over time, while the surface resists staining and remains easy to clean with a soft microfiber cloth. The installation process is straightforward for professionals and confident DIYers alike: mount to a wall or ceiling using standard hardware, ensure the frame is level, and secure the screen to maintain stable alignment. The result is a clean, professional-looking presentation with minimal ongoing maintenance. The durable construction also accommodates mounting in rooms with varying décor, as the classic black frame complements a wide range of interior styles while preserving a cinematic, high-end appearance.
- Compatibility, accessories, and future-proof design The Cinema Contour 189" screen is designed to work well with a broad spectrum of projectors and room configurations. Its fixed-frame design supports easy integration with existing mounting systems and can be paired with optional masking borders to adapt the viewing area for different content formats or aspect ratios. The surface is suited for modern digital sources, enabling strong performance with 4K and HDR content while maintaining consistent geometry and edge-to-edge sharpness. As projector technology evolves, the Cinema Contour remains a solid foundation for high-quality image delivery, combining a premium aesthetic with durable construction and practical functionality that stands up to future upgrades in your home theater system.

How to Install Da-Lite Cinema Contour 189" Projection Screen
Installation of a fixed-frame projection screen like the Da-Lite Cinema Contour 189" involves mounting the frame to a solid surface, ensuring precise alignment, and securing the screen so it remains taut and square over time. Begin by selecting a suitable mounting location with a clear, unobstructed viewing area and access to electrical outlets for any accessories. Locate wall studs or ceiling joists to provide secure anchoring points; use the included mounting hardware and level to ensure the frame sits perfectly plumb and square. With the frame secured, carefully attach the screen to the frame and verify that the fabric remains taut without wrinkles. Check the border alignment at multiple points around the frame and adjust as needed to ensure a consistent, clean edge. Finally, test with your projector: adjust focus, keystone, and zoom to fill the 16:9 image within the frame, ensuring uniform brightness and color across the surface. Regularly inspect the frame for any loosened screws or shifted alignment, and wipe the surface with a soft microfiber cloth to maintain a pristine finish. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for mounting hardware and weight limits, and consult a professional installer if you’re unsure about ceiling mounting or heavy-frame support.
