The installation process is user-friendly, with a compact housing that minimizes intrusion in the room, and compatibility with standard mounting hardware to simplify the mounting steps for contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike.
• Premium viewing surface and image quality – Contour Electrol uses a high-quality projection surface selected to maximize brightness, color accuracy, and viewing angles across a wide seating arrangement. The surface is engineered to minimize hot spots and image distortion, providing uniform color and contrast whether you’re displaying bright 4K content or standard-definition material. The fabric’s natural white tone yields consistent color reproduction under a variety of lighting conditions, so you can enjoy clear, punchy images even in rooms that aren’t perfectly dark. This screen is well-suited for presentations, film, and interactive content where sharp detail and broad viewing angles are essential for every seat in the room.
• Durable enclosure with versatile finishes – The Contour Electrol features a sturdy, low-profile cabinet designed to blend with décor while standing up to daily use.

How to install Da-Lite Contour Electrol 164" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation: Confirm ceiling or wall mounting location, ensuring there is adequate clearance for the screen when deployed and that the mounting surface can support the housing weight over time. Check electrical access for the motor and remote receiver, and identify a convenient power source.
• Unpack and inspect components: Open the carton and verify that all mounting brackets, fasteners, power cord, remote, and the screen housing are present and undamaged. If any components are missing or damaged, contact the supplier before installation.
• Mark and prepare mounting points: Use a level to mark where the brackets will be attached to the ceiling or wall. Drill pilot holes and install wall anchors or studs as required. Confirm that mounting points align with the center of the screen’s housing to ensure even deployment and proper operation.
• Attach the mounting hardware: Secure the brackets to the mounting surface, ensuring they are firmly anchored and level. Carefully raise and align the screen housing with the brackets, then secure the enclosure according to the included instructions. Make sure cables are routed neatly and are not pinched when the screen moves up or down.
• Connect power and test: Plug in the screen and power on the unit. Use the remote to lower and raise the screen a few times to confirm smooth operation and proper retraction. Calibrate alignment if needed and verify that the projection surface remains wrinkle-free and flat when deployed. If you encounter issues, consult the user manual or contact customer support for troubleshooting steps.
