The electric drop-down mechanism allows you to deploy the screen with the simple press of a button and retract it just as easily when the presentation is finished. This screen is ideal for rooms with variable seating arrangements or fixed furniture layouts, delivering a clean viewing surface that disappears when not in use. 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. The housing is available in multiple finishes and veneer options, enabling a seamless match with woodwork, cabinetry, or modern interiors. The combination of a robust outer shell and a high-quality screen surface ensures long-lasting performance, reduced wear on moving parts, and easy maintenance. With a discreet, professional appearance, this screen remains an attractive centerpiece for media spaces and meeting rooms alike.
- Customizable to fit your space and workflow – Beyond its mounting versatility and surface quality, the Contour Electrol is designed to adapt to different room shapes, seating layouts, and ambient lighting conditions. The screen’s size is optimized for a 16:9 viewing experience, making it a practical choice for contemporary presentations and home theatres. Finishes and veneer options provide aesthetic flexibility so you can match furniture, walls, and cabinetry. This level of customization ensures your projection system integrates harmoniously into your environment, elevating both aesthetics and usability without sacrificing performance.
- Reliable performance and support – Da-Lite is known for durable projection solutions backed by dependable service and warranties. The Contour Electrol delivers consistent motorized operation, smooth travel, and dependable retraction to protect the viewing surface when not in use. With reliable hardware, simple maintenance, and compatibility with common projector setups, this screen is a trusted choice for installers and end users who demand longevity and peace of mind. If you require a tensioned system for enhanced flatness at larger sizes, you can explore the Tensioned Contour Electrol option, but this version focuses on straightforward, reliable electric projection with an emphasis on ease of installation and everyday 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.
