Da-Lite Parallax Thin Projection Screen — Ambient Light Rejected Fixed Screen with Beveled Frame (120")

Experience a cinema-like image in your space with the Da-Lite Parallax Thin Projection Screen. This 120-inch ambient light–rejected fixed screen is designed for rooms where light can wash out projected images, delivering bright, vivid content even with windows or overhead lights present. The Parallax Thin ships pre-assembled with a sleek, slim-bezeled frame that blends seamlessly into contemporary interiors, giving you a professional-grade screen without intricate setup. Its micro-layered optical lens system actively rejects ambient light, reducing glare and enhancing contrast so that colors stay true and blacks stay deep whether you’re watching a high-octane sports event, a cinematic feature, or a business presentation. When the projector is off, the screen maintains a nearly invisible presence, preserving the room’s aesthetics while still offering a ready-to-use display surface. This combination of performance and clean design makes Parallax Thin a versatile solution for home theaters, classrooms, conference rooms, and multi-use media spaces.

How to Install Da-Lite Parallax Thin Projection Screen

Thanks to its pre-assembled construction, the Parallax Thin screen is designed for straightforward installation in a variety of spaces. To get the best results, plan the mounting location with attention to projector throw distance, seating placement, and ceiling or wall lighting. General steps include:

1) Choose a wall or mounting surface that is flat and solid. Locate wall studs or use appropriate anchors for your wall type to ensure a secure installation.

2) Determine the ideal height for the screen center based on your seating arrangement, projector position, and comfortable viewing angle. Mark the mounting points accordingly.

3) Use the mounting hardware that matches your wall construction. While Parallax Thin ships pre-assembled, your installation will require sturdy brackets or anchors compatible with the frame’s weight and dimensions. Align the frame squarely and level to avoid distortion of the projected image.

4) Secure the frame with the chosen hardware, double-checking that all fasteners are tight and the screen is stable. If your space allows, consider a secondary bracing option for added rigidity in high-traffic environments.

5) Once mounted, set the projector to align with the screen center. Fine-tune throw distance, keystone correction, and focus to achieve a crisp, edge-to-edge image. Make minor adjustments to the projector’s contrast and brightness to maximize the screen’s ambient light rejection performance.

6) Test in various lighting scenarios. Observe how the micro-layered optical lens system handles ambient light from windows or ceiling fixtures and adjust room lighting or blinds to optimize the viewing experience if needed. Routine cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth will keep the surface free of dust without compromising the coating.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is ambient light rejection and how does Parallax Thin improve viewing? A: Ambient Light Rejection (ALR) in Parallax Thin uses a microlayered optical lens system integrated into the screen surface to minimize the impact of room light on the projected image. This technology enhances perceived contrast and color accuracy, delivering a clearer picture even when the room isn’t fully dark.
• Q: Is this a fixed-frame screen? A: Yes. Parallax Thin is designed as a fixed-screen solution with a slim, beveled frame, offering a clean, professional appearance and a stable viewing surface.
• Q: How large is the screen? A: The screen diagonal is 120 inches, providing a generous display footprint for immersive viewing in mid-to-large spaces. This size is well-suited for home theaters, classrooms, and conference rooms where distance to the screen is comfortable for multiple viewers.
• Q: Can I install it myself? A: Yes. The screen ships pre-assembled, and installation typically involves mounting the frame to a suitable wall with standard hardware appropriate for your wall type. Ensure the mounting points are level and secure, then align the projector for optimal image quality.
• Q: How should I care for the screen surface? A: Regularly dust the surface with a soft microfiber cloth. If cleaning is needed, use a lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners to protect the optical surface and preserve image quality over time.
• Q: Is Parallax Thin suitable for environments with windows or bright lighting? A: Absolutely. The ALR technology is specifically designed to suppress glare from ambient light sources, making it a strong choice for rooms where controlling light completely is challenging.
