Da-Lite Da-Snap 123" Fixed Frame Projection Screen
The Da-Lite Da-Snap 123" Fixed Frame Projection Screen offers a premium, showroom-ready viewing experience with a flexible, install-friendly design. Built for durability and simple maintenance, this fixed-frame screen blends a square aluminum tubing frame with a high-quality projection surface that holds its shape and alignment over time. Whether you’re outfitting a corporate boardroom, a classroom, or a home theater, the Da-Snap delivers bright, true colors and crisp image detail. Its modular frame options support curved frames and wrap-around surfaces, enabling a seamless fit into any room aesthetic. With mounting versatility—wall-mounted or recessed into a wall opening—and a standard black backing to preserve brightness and contrast, the Da-Snap is engineered to stay taut, resist warping, and present a professional, distraction-free viewing surface. For installers and venue managers, its Pro-Trim compatible border adds a polished, edge-to-edge look that complements modern interiors while keeping focus on the projected image.
- Versatile frame options that include curved frames and wrap-around surfaces, enabling a customized stage or viewing wall. The Da-Snap can be mounted on a wall or integrated into a wall opening, giving you the flexibility to create a clean, theater-like presentation space that blends with architectural features rather than fighting them. This adaptability is ideal for multi-purpose rooms, media centers, or fixed-install theaters where room geometry varies and aesthetics matter as much as performance.
- 123" diagonal fixed-frame screen with a standard black backing designed to maximize projected brightness and contrast. The fixed-frame design ensures the screen remains perfectly flat and taut, eliminating wrinkles or sag over time. The black backing absorbs ambient light behind the screen to improve perceived contrast, making colors pop and images appear more lifelike under a variety of lighting conditions.
- Sturdy square aluminum tubing frame that stands up to frequent use and transport during installation. The frame is designed for precision alignment, providing a crisp, professional border around the image. Pro-Trim, when chosen, offers a cleaner, more tailored border that conceals frame edges for a showroom-quality appearance, helping the screen integrate seamlessly with furniture and décor.
- High-quality surface characteristics that balance brightness, color accuracy, and viewing angles. The Da-Lap-style construction ensures uniform image geometry across the screen and minimal moiré or distortion at different throw distances. The rigidity of the frame, combined with a tensioned fabric surface, minimizes edge curl and keeps the image square to the border, which is essential for accurate projector placement and keystone-free setup.
- Designed for long-term reliability and easy maintenance. The Da-Snap’s materials resist warping and rust, while the surface remains easy to clean with standard, non-abrasive cleaners. The modular frame design also allows for straightforward service or replacement of the screen fabric without replacing the entire frame, lowering lifecycle costs and downtime in professional environments.

How to install Da-Lite Da-Snap 123"
- Plan the installation by measuring the wall or opening space and confirming stud locations or mounting studs for secure support. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of protrusions that could interfere with frame alignment.
- Assemble the Da-Snap frame on the floor or a stable work surface, following the manufacturer’s alignment guides to ensure the square corners are true and the frame sits perfectly square. Use a level during assembly to prevent skewed mounting later.
- Attach the appropriate wall brackets or mounting hardware. If you’re installing into a wall opening, prepare the opening so the frame can be inset and flush with the surrounding wall face. Check that hardware choice matches the wall type (drywall, masonry, concrete, etc.).
- Mount the frame to the wall or into the opening, ensuring the frame is plumb and level. Secure all fasteners firmly but avoid overtightening, which could distort the frame or affect surface tension.
- Install the projection screen fabric within the frame. The Da-Snap system typically uses a snap-on or tensioning approach to keep the fabric taut. Align the fabric edges evenly with the frame sides and snap or fasten as directed by the product’s instructions, checking that there are no wrinkles or gaps along the edges.
- Finalize alignment with your projector. Adjust throw distance, keystone correction, and zoom to achieve a perfectly rectangular image. If Pro-Trim border is chosen, install it after the screen is tensioned to frame the image cleanly and to hide any frame seams for a polished look.
- Clean and inspect. Wipe the screen surface with a soft, lint-free cloth if needed and verify that the screen remains taut across the entire area. Periodically re-check mounting screws and border alignment, especially in high-traffic environments or environments with significant temperature or humidity fluctuations.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What is the benefit of a fixed-frame screen like the Da-Snap compared to pull-down or motorized screens?
A: Fixed-frame screens provide exceptional flatness, edge alignment, and image stability, which translates to sharper focus and more accurate geometry. They’re ideal for permanent installations where viewing distance is fixed and room aesthetics matter as much as performance. -
Q: Can the frame be customized after installation?
A: Yes, the Da-Snap design supports modular frame options, including curved frames and wrap-around surfaces, as well as Pro-Trim borders for a tailored look. If your space or décor changes, the frame can be adapted to maintain a cohesive appearance. -
Q: Is the screen suitable for bright rooms with a lot of ambient light?
A: The standard black backing helps retain brightness and contrast by absorbing light behind the screen. While no screen is fully impervious to ambient light, the Da-Snap’s construction emphasizes a crisp, vivid image even in moderately lit environments. -
Q: What mounting options are available?
A: The Da-Snap can be wall-mounted or installed in a wall opening, offering flexibility to match room architecture and sightlines. Proper framing and sturdy mounting hardware are essential for ensuring a long-lasting, level installation. -
Q: How do I maintain the screen and frame over time?
A: Regularly inspect for signs of wear, keep the surface clean with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners that could degrade the fabric. If a border or edge becomes loose, re-tighten screws and ensure the Pro-Trim border remains flush with the frame for optimal appearance and image alignment.
