Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Deluxe Electrol 180 Electric Projection Screen

Elevate any presentation or home theater with the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Deluxe Electrol 180 projection screen. This premium screen blends a discreet, motorized design with Da-Lite’s renowned Advantage line, delivering a clean, professional install that looks built-in right out of the ceiling. The key to its streamlined appearance is the integrated ceiling trim, which conceals the rough opening and eliminates the need for additional trim work after mounting. The 180-inch diagonal size delivers a cinematic, immersive viewing experience suitable for large living rooms, dedicated home theaters, classrooms, and corporate spaces. The tensioned projection surface guarantees a flat, warp-free image from edge to edge, so every seat enjoys crisp detail, accurate color, and excellent brightness uniformity. Quiet, reliable operation comes from the electric motor, letting you raise or lower the screen with a simple remote control, keeping distractions to a minimum during presentations or movie nights. Build quality, thoughtful design, and versatile installation options make this screen a smart long-term choice for spaces where performance and aesthetics matter as much as convenience.

• Integrated ceiling trim for a flawless install: The Advantage Deluxe Electrol 180 is engineered with built-in ceiling trim that conceals the rough opening once mounted. This design eliminates the need for after-install trim work, delivering a clean, professional appearance straight out of the box. In spaces like classrooms, conference rooms, or home theaters, the integrated trim reduces installation time, minimizes visible gaps, and creates a theater-grade frame that makes the screen look like a true architectural feature rather than an add-on. It’s the kind of detail that elevates any room without adding complexity or delay to your project.
• Tensioned projection surface for consistent image fidelity: The tensioned screen fabric remains perfectly flat across the entire surface, preventing waviness, sag, or puckering that can distort image geometry on a large format screen. On a dramatic 180-inch diagonal, even minor flex can degrade brightness, color uniformity, and edge sharpness. With tensioning, you get a uniformly sharp image from corner to corner, ensuring data graphics remain legible, cinematic scenes stay immersive, and director’s cuts retain their intended framing. This feature is especially beneficial for room lighting challenges, high-contrast content, and multi-seat layouts where image fidelity across viewers is essential.
• Electric operation with quiet, smooth performance: A dependable electric motor powers the raise and lower mechanism, delivering nearly silent operation that won’t distract during meetings, lectures, or movie nights. The included remote control provides one-touch convenience, enabling presenters or homeowners to adjust the screen from anywhere in the room. The flush ceiling profile keeps the installation sleek and unobtrusive, so the screen disappears when not in use and reappears seamlessly at the touch of a button. Quiet operation is particularly valuable in learning environments and quiet home theater rooms where audio distractions must be minimized.
• Durable construction for long-term reliability: The screen housing is built from robust materials with a low-profile, unobtrusive black finish that harmonizes with most interiors. The tensioned fabric is designed to withstand daily use in busy classrooms, training facilities, and high-traffic living spaces. Precision engineering ensures consistent performance over time, with reliable motorized operation and stable mounting. This combination of durability and performance translates to fewer maintenance concerns and a longer lifespan, making it a solid investment for spaces that demand dependable image delivery day after day.
• Flexible installation and broad content compatibility: The 180-inch diagonal format delivers a dramatic, immersive viewing experience without being oversized for most rooms, and it pairs well with a wide range of projectors, including modern HD and 4K models. The Advantage line is designed for versatile installation scenarios, including ceiling-recessed, wall-mounted, or suspended configurations, while maintaining a clean, professional finish thanks to the integrated trim. This flexibility makes the Electrol 180 suitable for home theaters, conference rooms, training centers, education spaces, and multimedia classrooms where high-quality image delivery and a streamlined aesthetic are essential.
