Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 137" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 137" Electric Projection Screen is engineered for a clean, pro-grade installation that blends high performance with a refined, architectural look. Designed for ceiling-recessed applications, this screen features ceiling trim that conceals the rough opening, delivering a sleek finish without the need for extra trim work after installation. It’s an ideal solution for professional spaces like boardrooms, classrooms, training facilities, and premium home theaters where image quality, reliability, and aesthetics matter equally.

At the core of this screen is Da-Lite’s renowned tensioned surface technology. The Tensioned Advantage surface maintains perfect flatness across the entire viewing area, resisting wrinkles and droop that can mar images on large formats. This ensures razor-sharp imagery from edge to edge, even with high-contrast content, ambient lighting, or extended use. The 137" diagonal size offers a large-screen experience without sacrificing portability or installation practicality, making it a versatile choice for venues that require immersive visuals without a complex installation process.

Two-stage installation adds flexibility for builders and installers. The screen case can be mounted during rough-in or final finishing stages, reducing construction timelines and allowing for precise alignment with existing ceilings and trim. Once the space is ready, the screen deploys with a smooth, quiet electric motor—delivering a reliable, distraction-free viewing experience in meetings, classrooms, or entertainment spaces. The enclosure’s robust construction protects the projection surface and internal components, ensuring consistent performance for years to come.

Performance in professional settings hinges on consistent brightness, accurate color reproduction, and uniform image quality. The Tensioned Advantage 137" Electric Projection Screen delivers a stable projection surface that remains flat even under dynamic room conditions. The combination of a premium projection surface, sturdy casing, and precise tensioning technology minimizes image distortion, giving audiences a cinema-like experience without the need for dedicated, complex room treatments. This screen is designed to operate quietly and reliably, supporting uninterrupted presentations, metings, and multimedia experiences.

• Wrinkle-free, uniform image: The tensioned surface stays perfectly flat across the entire viewing area, delivering a clean, professional picture with reduced warping or sagging. This stability is especially noticeable on large screens where small surface deviations can otherwise degrade image clarity.
• Clean, concealed installation: The ceiling-recessed design includes built-in ceiling trim that hides the rough opening, resulting in a seamless, architectural look that requires minimal post-install trim work. It’s ideal for spaces that demand a refined, finished appearance.
• Flexible two-stage installation: The screen case can be installed during the rough-in phase or during final trim work, allowing installers to manage timelines effectively and ensure precise alignment with the room’s ceiling and walls.
• Quiet, reliable motorized operation: An electric drive provides smooth, whisper-quiet retraction and deployment, so presentations and events stay distraction-free. User-friendly controls (remote and/or wall switch options) simplify operation for everyday use.
• Durable construction and long-term reliability: A rugged enclosure protects the projection surface and internal components, while the tensioning system maintains consistent performance over time, backed by Da-Lite’s reputation for quality and support.

how to install da-lite-tensioned-advantage-137-electric-projection-screen

• Plan the installation by confirming the ceiling structure can support the screen weight and the electrical requirements for the motor. Determine the final screen position to ensure the viewing area aligns with seating, lighting, and projector placement.
• Prepare the rough-in or finished ceiling space. If installing during rough-in, mount the screen case in the desired location and route necessary power wiring in accordance with local electrical codes. If installing after finishing, ensure access for wiring and mounting hardware remains available.
• Secure the screen case to the ceiling joists or structural supports using appropriate fasteners. Verify that the case is level and properly aligned to the intended viewing axis to prevent skewed image projection.
• Connect the electrical supply to the screen motor and configure any remote or wall-control interface included with the product. Test the retraction and deployment to confirm smooth operation and appropriate travel limits.
• Finalize by trimming the ceiling around the case, adjusting mounting as needed for a clean, integrated look. Perform image calibration steps with your projector (focus, keystone correction, alignment) to achieve optimal picture quality across the entire screen.
• Perform a final quality check: ensure the screen retracts smoothly, verify that the surface remains taut and flat, and confirm that the ceiling trim aligns with the room’s aesthetic. Document any warranty and maintenance recommendations for future reference.
