Da-Lite Model C 133" Projection Screen with CSR — Quiet Manual Screen for Large Rooms

Experience cinema-quality projection in large spaces with the Da-Lite Model C 133" Projection Screen. This manual, wall- or ceiling-mounted screen is designed for bigger rooms where image size and quiet operation matter. The CSR (Controlled Screen Return) mechanism delivers a quiet, controlled roll-back to the case, helping protect the screen surface and maintain a clean, professional appearance even after frequent use. The 133-inch diagonal provides a commanding image for audiences while the compact housing preserves valuable space and accommodates a range of projector setups. Built for durability and easy installation, the Model C combines dependable performance with versatile mounting options, ensuring you can create a modern, immersive viewing environment in classrooms, conference rooms, or home theaters.

• Large-screen versatility for classrooms, boardrooms, and home theaters: The 133" diagonal creates a cinematic viewing experience that fills large rooms and supports multi-row seating. With a wide viewing angle and generous image size, every seat in the room enjoys clear details and vibrant color. The manual operation keeps maintenance simple and reliable, even in high-traffic environments where electronics might be less practical. The compact case design minimizes wall or ceiling intrusion, leaving ample space for seating, furniture, and projector. This screen is equally at home behind a lectern, in a media room, or in a training space, delivering a consistent image across varying lighting conditions.
• CSR mechanism for whisper-quiet retraction: Controlled Screen Return regulates the screen as it returns to the case, delivering a slow, controlled roll that minimizes noise and mechanical stress. This is especially valuable in quiet rooms, classrooms between lectures, or home theaters where distractions can break the immersion. Because CSR requires full extension to guarantee proper tautness, the screen sits perfectly flat when in use, ensuring the projected image remains wrinkle-free and evenly illuminated across the entire surface. The result is a durable, long-lasting projection experience with reduced surface wear and fewer maintenance concerns over time.
• Surface and image quality for vibrant visuals: Da-Lite's Matte White projection surface offers excellent brightness and color reproduction with wide viewing angles, so viewers in different seats see consistent imagery. The 133" diagonal yields sharp lines, crisp text, and smooth gradients for both data-heavy presentations and cinematic content. The surface resists warping and maintains a flat profile across the full width, helping to prevent distortion at the edges. Its durability makes it suitable for frequent use in classrooms and conference rooms, while still providing a clean, professional appearance in premium home theaters. The result is a natural, balanced picture with true-to-life colors and deep shadow detail that enhances movies, sports, and presentations alike.
• Effortless installation with space-conscious design: The Model C's manual mechanism and CSR housing are engineered for quick, precise mounting on standard wall studs or ceiling brackets. The case is compact, reducing the footprint on walls or ceilings and simplifying alignment with your projector. Da-Lite includes straightforward leveling aids to ensure the screen sits perfectly square, and the surface is designed to extend fully without interference from trim or hardware. Once installed, you can retract and extend the screen with ease, keeping the room tidy and unobtrusive when not in use. The combination of simple hardware, adaptable mounting, and a robust return system makes this screen a practical choice for spaces that require flexibility and long-term reliability.
• Durable construction and long-term value for busy environments: The Model C is built to endure frequent use in educational facilities, meeting rooms, and home theaters. A sturdy housing protects the internal mechanics from impact and dust, while the manual crank and CSR components are designed for smooth operation across many cycles. The surface remains stable and taut, preserving image quality even after years of use. With Da-Lite’s reputation for screen manufacturing, this screen delivers dependable performance and long service life. Regular maintenance, including cleaning the surface and inspecting the casing, helps maximize longevity and preserve the screen’s premium look and feel.
