• Durable construction and a clean aesthetic: The housing is finished in a standard white powder coat, which resists fingerprints and wear while maintaining a sleek, contemporary appearance. The black backing not only enhances brightness but also provides a sturdy, stable foundation for the screen fabric. The overall design emphasizes a low-profile footprint when retracted, reducing visual intrusion in living spaces and work areas while keeping the screen protected when not in use.
• User-friendly operation with familiar controls: The motorized screen comes with a Decora-style three-position wall switch for intuitive up, down, and stop functionality. This control scheme makes installation straightforward in any room, as you can position the switch in a convenient location near seating or a podium. The electric mechanism operates smoothly and quietly, minimizing disruption during presentations, lectures, or movie sessions, and making it suitable for environments where silence is important.
• Ideal for a wide range of settings and uses: The Cosmopolitan Series is well-suited for home theaters seeking an elegant, large-format display, corporate meeting spaces requiring a reliable projection solution, educational facilities needing durable, easy-to-use screens, and rental or staging environments where quick setup matters.

How to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen involves careful planning, proper mounting, and secure electrical connections. Follow these general steps to achieve a clean, professional setup that maximizes performance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions and local electrical codes for final compliance.

• Plan placement: Determine whether the screen will be mounted on the ceiling or wall, considering projector throw distance, seating arrangement, and ambient light. Ensure there is ample space for the screen to retract fully without obstruction and that the mounting location can support the screen’s weight.
• Prepare mounting surfaces: If mounting to a ceiling, locate joists and use appropriate anchors or brackets rated for the screen weight. For wall installation, ensure studs or solid backing are present. Verify level alignment before attaching hardware to prevent image distortion.
• Install mounting hardware: Attach the Cosmopolitan’s mounting brackets per the included template and manufacturer specifications. Use the correct hardware for your wall or ceiling material, and tighten all fasteners securely to avoid movement or noise during operation.
• Electrical and controls: Route power to the motor as required and connect the Decora-style three-position wall switch in a convenient location. If available, configure any optional accessories such as a low-voltage trigger or remote control according to the product manual and your building’s electrical layout.
• Hang and align the screen: Carefully unroll the screen to verify full extension and alignment with the projector. Adjust projector alignment as needed to ensure a straight, square image on the screen surface. Confirm there is no occlusion or misalignment at the edges and that the screen retracts smoothly without binding.
• Test and calibrate: Power on the projector and test the image with the screen fully extended. Check brightness uniformity across the surface, and fine-tune projector settings to achieve the desired color accuracy and contrast. Retract the screen to confirm smooth operation and repeat alignment if necessary.
• Maintenance tips: Periodically inspect the housing, fabric, and mounting hardware for signs of wear. Clean the screen surface with manufacturer-approved cleaners and avoid abrasive materials that could damage the fabric. Keep the area around the motor free of dust and obstructions to maintain quiet, reliable operation.
