The larger frame enhances perceived contrast and helps direct attention toward the picture, elevating the overall cinematic feel of your space.

This is especially beneficial in rooms with some ambient light or windows, where contrast can otherwise be diminished.

How to Install Da-Lite Cinema Contour 208" Projection Screen
- Prepare the installation space by locating studs or suitable ceiling joists. Confirm the wall or ceiling can safely support the screen’s weight and aligns with the projector’s throw distance to ensure a correctly proportioned image.
- Unpack the Cinema Contour components and inspect all hardware for completeness. Lay out mounting brackets, frame sections, and fasteners in a secure workspace to prevent loss or damage during assembly.
- Determine the intended centerline for the screen and mark mounting points on the wall or ceiling. Use a level to ensure that all reference points are perfectly horizontal so the frame sits square when mounted.
- Attach the mounting brackets to the wall or ceiling using the provided hardware. If mounting to drywall, use appropriate anchors and verify that each fastener bears into solid structural material for maximum stability.
- Assemble and hang the frame on the mounting brackets, ensuring it sits flush and level. Make any minor adjustments to align the frame precisely with the projector’s center point to avoid keystone distortion.
- Tension or connect any frame elements as required by the Cinema Contour model, then attach the projection surface securely. Verify that the image is centered and the viewing area aligns with your seating arrangement before performing a final projector calibration.
- Power up your projector and calibrate for brightness, contrast, gamma, and color temperature. Adjust image geometry (size, keystone, and lens shift) so that the picture fills the screen without clipping or overscan.
- Test with a variety of content (HDR, 4K, standard-definition content) to ensure the screen delivers consistent performance. Make any small frame or alignment adjustments to maintain a pristine, flat viewing surface.
