Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen — 109" Electric Wall/Ceiling Screen

The Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen delivers professional-grade, motorized projection with effortless versatility for any room. Designed to mount on a wall or from the ceiling, this electric screen combines a clean, modern aesthetic with robust performance to meet the demands of classrooms, conference rooms, training facilities, and contemporary home theaters. The Cosmopolitan’s standard white powder-coated housing with black backing is engineered to maximize image brightness on front-projection surfaces, preserving vibrant color and sharp detail even in rooms with some ambient light. With a 109-inch diagonal, the screen provides a expansive viewing area that works beautifully with widescreen projectors and a variety of seating configurations, delivering immersive visuals that engage audiences from the front row to the back. The surface is optimized for front projection, balancing brightness, uniformity, and contrast so that text remains crisp, graphics stay legible, and video playback remains smooth and natural. A front-facing, black-backed screen reduces bleed-through and helps maintain a clean image, contributing to better perceived contrast and color fidelity. The Cosmopolitan is built to endure daily use in high-traffic environments, offering a durable, low-profile housing that blends with modern interiors while keeping sightlines clear when the screen is retracted. Operation is streamlined with a decora-style three-position wall switch, giving you precise control over screen positioning—up, down, and an intermediate stop for quick access or staging. In short, the Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series balances form and function, delivering dependable performance, simple installation, and a refined look that complements today’s presentation spaces and home entertainment setups alike.

How to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

To maximize performance and ensure long service life, follow these general guidelines for a successful install. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation manual for specific hardware, torque values, and safety instructions tailored to your building structure and local codes.

Plan your mounting location by choosing a wall or ceiling area that provides ample clearance for full screen extension and a clear view from all seating positions. Verify structural support—ceiling joists or wall studs should be strong enough to bear the weight of the housing and provide a solid anchor for the mounting brackets. Take precise measurements to align the screen so the projected image sits at an appropriate height relative to the seating arrangement and projector throw.

Prepare the mounting hardware and electrical connections. Use the included mounting kit or compatible hardware suitable for your surface material (wood, masonry, or drywall). Ensure access to a reliable electrical supply that matches the screen’s motor requirements. If necessary, consult a licensed electrician to install a dedicated circuit or outlet in accordance with local electrical codes.

Attach the mounting brackets to the selected surface. Use appropriate fasteners, level the brackets carefully, and tighten securely to prevent movement. With the brackets prepared, mount the electric screen housing onto the brackets following the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the unit is plumb and the extension path is unobstructed.

Connect power and test operation. Plug in the screen, power it on, and verify that the motor operates smoothly without unusual noise or vibration. Use the Decora-style three-position wall switch to raise, lower, and stop at the intermediate position. Confirm that the screen extends fully and retracts cleanly into the housing, and that there are no wrinkles or misalignment on the screen surface when extended. If needed, adjust alignment or tension per the installation guide.

Make final adjustments and complete setup. Confirm safe clearance above the screen and ensure the viewing surface is free of obstructions. If the room includes ambient lighting, consider light control options to optimize image brightness and contrast. Keep the remote or wall switch accessible for easy operation during presentations. For complex installations or unconventional spaces, consult a professional installer or Da-Lite technical support for tailored guidance and warranty considerations.
