Da-Lite Contour Electrol 133" Electric Projection Screen

The Contour® Electrol® is Da-Lite’s answer to clean, dependable projection for any room. Offering a straightforward installation that suits both ceilings and walls, this 133" electric projection screen blends seamlessly with a variety of interior styles thanks to its range of finishes. It’s designed for reliable operation in home theaters, conference rooms, classrooms, and multi-purpose spaces, delivering crisp, bright images with minimal setup. The Contour Electrol is a non-tensioned screen in the Contour line, meaning it’s a practical choice when a simple, quick-install solution is paramount and you’re not requiring the tensioned system. With its Standard Silent Drive, you’ll enjoy quiet, smooth raising and lowering, letting your content take center stage without distraction. This model is specifically noted not to include the Tensioning Cable System, which is available on the Tensioned Contour Electrol variant for situations that warrant a taut, flat screen surface.

• Simple installation for home or commercial spaces: Mount the screen to a ceiling or wall, and you’re ready to deliver compelling, large-format projections with minimal hardware and hassle.
• Electric operation with quiet performance: The Standard Silent Drive motor ensures the screen rises and lowers smoothly and unobtrusively, so you can focus on the presentation or movie rather than the mechanism.
• Non-tensioned Contour Electrol: This model does not include the Tensioning Cable System, making it ideal for straightforward installations where a non-tensioned surface is sufficient. For a taut, tensioned surface, consider the Tensioned Contour Electrol variant.
• Flexible finishes to complement any room: A variety of finishes are offered to help the screen blend with your decor—from modern spaces to traditional rooms—while preserving image quality and screen clarity.
• Versatile applications across spaces: Perfect for home theaters, boardrooms, training rooms, classrooms, and other environments that require a reliable, large-format projection surface with easy operation.

How to install Da-Lite Contour Electrol 133" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Contour Electrol 133" is designed to be straightforward for experienced DIYers and professionals alike. Follow these general steps to ensure a secure, high-quality setup that preserves screen performance and aesthetics:

• Choose a mounting location: Select a wall or ceiling position that provides clear projection while remaining out of the way of furniture and traffic. Ensure there is ample space above the screen for full travel and access to power.
• Prepare the mounting surface: Confirm structural integrity and locate studs or support points. Use appropriate anchors and mounting hardware rated for the screen’s weight and dimensions.
• Attach the mounting hardware: Securely fasten the mounting bracket or frame to the wall or ceiling according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring level alignment for a perfectly square screen when retracted and extended.
• Connect power and controls: Route power to the screen’s motor and connect any available control options, such as a wall switch or compatible remote receiver. Ensure all wiring complies with local electrical codes.
• Install and test the screen: With the housing secured, carefully extend the screen to verify smooth operation of the Silent Drive mechanism. Test retraction, stopping points, and alignment, then finalize by concealing and securing any cables or conduits for a clean look.

Pro tip: For best results, perform a final check in the projected image area to ensure the screen is perfectly vertical and centered relative to your projector. If you need a flush, near-wall appearance, consider tongue-and-groove ceilings or dedicated wall recesses to reduce perceived bulk while maintaining easy access for maintenance and operation.
