Da-Lite Model C Series Projection Screen - 120" Manual, Wall or Ceiling Mounted

The Da-Lite Model C Series Projection Screen delivers dependable, large-format projection for demanding spaces. Designed for easy wall or ceiling mounting in big rooms such as conference venues, lecture halls, classrooms, and premium home theaters, this 120-inch diagonal screen emphasizes durability, smooth manual operation, and compact space efficiency. The Model C uses permanently lubricated steel ball bearings, nylon bushings, and a heavy-duty spring assembly to ensure quiet, consistent extension and retraction even in high-traffic environments. Its space-conscious housing conceals a robust mechanism while providing a clean, professional appearance that won’t distract from the presentation. With a high-quality matte white projection surface, wide viewing angles, and a stable drop, the Model C is a reliable choice for audiences of all sizes who expect clear, evenly lit images from modern projectors.

• Premium manual operation - The Model C features permanently lubricated steel ball bearings, precision nylon bushings, and a heavy-duty spring assembly for exceptionally smooth, quiet extension and retraction. This combination minimizes wear and wobble, helping maintain a perfectly flat screen surface across repeated use. The design reduces drag during deployment, enabling presenters to focus on content rather than equipment, while the mechanism resists sticking or binding in busy environments.
• Flexible mounting options - Built to adapt to your space, the Model C can be installed on either a wall or a ceiling. This flexibility makes it ideal for retrofit projects or new constructions where projector height, seating layout, and line-of-sight must be coordinated precisely. The mounting system is engineered to distribute weight evenly, resist vibration, and preserve screen alignment even in rooms with irregular acoustics or frequent reconfigurations.
• Space-saving, durable design - The compact housing minimizes the footprint of the projection system while delivering long-lasting performance. This space-efficient design helps preserve sightlines, maximize seating and equipment clearance, and reduce clutter above the screen line. End caps and a clean, unobtrusive exterior contribute to a professional aesthetic that blends with any room décor while maintaining a robust, serviceable form factor for daily use.
• Large-format screen performance - At 120 inches diagonal, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the Model C provides an immersive viewing experience suitable for presentations, multimedia training, and cinematic content in large rooms. The matte white projection surface offers consistent brightness and accurate color reproduction across wide viewing angles, ensuring every attendee, from the front row to the back, enjoys clear, evenly lit imagery. The surface is designed to resist warp and distortion, maintaining image integrity across frequent use and varying projector placements.
• Low maintenance and reliability - Engineered for professional environments, the Model C emphasizes durability through rugged mechanical components and a simple, maintenance-friendly design. The combination of steel, high-quality bearings, and a dependable spring system reduces the need for frequent service, while the screen’s surface is chosen for resilience and ease of cleaning. Routine care involves gentle dusting with a soft cloth to keep the surface pristine, helping to preserve brightness and contrast for years of use.

How to install Da-Lite Model C Series Projection Screen

• Assess the installation space to determine whether a wall or ceiling mount provides the best sightlines and projector height. Mark the location for the screen housing, ensuring there is ample clearance for full extension without obstructions.
• Prepare the mounting surface by locating structural members or using appropriate anchors for the ceiling or wall. Use the supplied brackets to secure the housing, keeping the unit plumb and level to prevent edge distortion when the screen is deployed.
• Attach the screen housing to the mounting brackets according to the included instructions. Double-check alignment along both the horizontal and vertical axes, and tighten all fasteners securely to minimize movement during operation.
• Unroll the screen to the desired height. If your installation uses top stops or a locking mechanism, adjust these components to achieve a clean, wrinkle-free return and a stable extended position. Ensure the screen sits flat and parallel to the projector’s throw plane for a crisp image.
• Test the manual operation by slowly extending and retracting the screen several times. Confirm smooth travel with no binding, and verify that the screen locks securely when fully extended. Make any necessary minor adjustments to alignment or tension as recommended in the product manual.
• Finalize setup by aligning the projector with the screen’s optical center, calibrating for keystone and image geometry, and verifying that ambient lighting conditions do not cause glare on the projection surface. Clean the surface with a soft cloth if needed, avoiding harsh solvents that could affect brightness or texture.
