Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 123 Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 123 Electric Projection Screen combines premium image fidelity with a streamlined, trim-free installation. Designed for modern conference rooms, classrooms, and home theater spaces, this screen delivers razor-sharp visuals with smooth motion and a quiet, reliable motor. The Advantage line is engineered to remove the guesswork and extra steps typically required to finish a projection screen opening, thanks to ceiling trim that is built-in and concealed once the screen is mounted. This means a cleaner ceiling line, faster setup, and a higher-end look that impresses clients, students, and family alike. Whether you’re presenting data, training a team, or enjoying a cinematic night, this screen brings professional-grade performance and effortless operation to any viewing environment.

• Ceiling trim integrated into the Advantage design: Once installed, the screen’s trim hides the rough opening, eliminating the need for additional trim work and delivering a clean, professional ceiling line. This feature is particularly valuable in commercial spaces where appearance matters just as much as performance, helping you achieve a theater-like installation without extra carpentry or finishing steps.
• Premium tensioned surface for flawless imaging: The tensioned screen system keeps the viewing surface perfectly flat across the entire frame, preventing waviness or irregularities that can distort imagery. This results in crisp, uniform brightness and contrast across the full 123-inch diagonal, making it ideal for detailed presentations, graphs, and high-definition video in bright or dim environments alike.
• Electric operation with quiet performance: The Electrol motor provides smooth, precise elevation of the screen with minimal noise, ensuring unobtrusive operation during meetings, lectures, and screenings. The included remote control and compatibility with wall switches enable convenient, one-button setup, retreat, and power-off control, so you can focus on your presentation rather than fiddling with hardware.
• Durable, aesthetics-conscious housing: The screen comes in a sleek, durable case designed to withstand daily use in busy spaces. The housing protects the projection surface and internal components while maintaining an unobtrusive appearance that blends with contemporary interiors. Its clean lines and white finish help it disappear into most rooms when not in use, reducing visual distraction during presentations.
• Large diagonal, practical for a range of environments: With a 123-inch diagonal, this screen strikes a balance between immersive viewing and practicality for standard rooms. It supports a variety of projection setups and surfaces within the Da-Lite Advantage family, allowing you to select the surface that best matches your lighting conditions, projector brightness, and audience size—whether you’re delivering corporate training, classrooms lessons, or home theater sessions.

How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 123 Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation by checking ceiling structure and ensuring there is access to a power source capable of supporting an electric projector screen. Confirm room dimensions, projector throw distance, and seating layout to determine the optimal mounting height and viewing angle for a 123-inch diagonal screen in a 16:9 setup.
• Prepare the rough opening and ceiling trim: Since the Advantage line includes integrated ceiling trim, measure and outline the installation area, then align the screen housing with the ceiling plane. Ensure there is minimal obstruction behind the mounting surface and that the mounting studs or ceiling framework can bear the weight of the screen housing and hardware.
• Mount the enclosure and secure the chassis: Attach the screen housing firmly to the ceiling or wall using appropriate fasteners. Use a level to verify the enclosure is perfectly plumb and aligned with the intended projection area, then tighten all hardware to prevent movement over time.
• Run power and connect controls: Route a power supply to the motor and connect the remote receiver or wall-switch interface as required. If integrating with room automation, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for syncing the Electrol unit with control systems while ensuring cable management remains neat and compliant with local electrical codes.
• Install and calibrate the projection surface: Attach the projection surface, ensuring the screen is tensioned evenly to maintain a flat, distortion-free image. Power the unit to test up-and-down operation, verify that the surface tracks smoothly without snags, and confirm the trim fully conceals the rough opening for a clean finish. Perform a final image check with your projector to optimize focus, keystone correction, and brightness balance in your room's lighting conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 123 different from other screens?

A: The key differentiators are the built-in ceiling trim that conceals the rough opening, the tensioned viewing surface that stays perfectly flat for high-quality imaging, and the quiet electric operation that delivers effortless, one-touch screen movement. This combination yields a seamless, professional installation with outstanding image clarity, making it ideal for corporate environments, classrooms, and premium home theaters.

Q: Which environments are best suited for this screen?

A: It excels in conference rooms, training rooms, lecture halls, and media rooms where a large, high-contrast image is essential. The tensioned surface minimizes distortion in bright rooms and helps maintain crisp text and graphics in presentations. The built-in trim advantage also ensures a clean ceiling aesthetic in permanent installations.

Q: Can I install this screen myself or should I hire a professional?

A: While capable DIY installers with electrical and mount-wielding skills can manage a standard ceiling mount, it is recommended to use a qualified installer for ceiling-trim concealed installations to ensure proper weight support, alignment, electrical compliance, and optimal performance of the motorized system.

Q: What maintenance does the screen require?

A: Routine maintenance is minimal. Periodically inspect mounting hardware for tightness, keep the surface clean with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners. If the screen is used frequently or in a high-traffic space, a quarterly check of motor operation and alignment is advised to maintain smooth operation and image quality.
