How to install Da-Lite IDEA Screen 68" Fixed Frame Projection Screen
1. Prepare the mounting area by locating wall studs and ensuring the surface is clean and dry. Measure the intended screen position to confirm a level installation and ideal projector alignment.
2. Unpack the fixed frame components and confirm all hardware is accounted for. Begin by assembling the outer frame to its specified dimensions, ensuring corners are square for a flush, taut surface.
3. Mark the wall for mounting points using the frame’s back brackets. Secure the brackets to the wall using appropriate hardware for the wall type (studs, masonry, or drywall anchors as required).
4. Hang the fixed frame on the wall brackets and verify levelness. Adjust as needed to achieve a perfectly horizontal frame alignment, which is critical for a uniform projection surface.
5. Install the IDEA projection surface inside the fixed frame, ensuring the surface is tensioned evenly. Use the magnetic border to align and secure the surface, making sure there are no folds or sagging that could interfere with image uniformity.
6. Connect the projector, align it with the screen surface, and perform keystone correction and geometry adjustments as needed. Confirm the projected image fills the screen without distortion and that the surface remains hotspot-free under projection.
7. Clean the surface and border before first use. For ongoing care, use a dry-erase compatible cleaner or a damp microfiber cloth to remove marker residue from the non-projection areas, avoiding abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
