Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen
The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen delivers a theater-quality viewing experience with a streamlined, professional installation. Engineered for spaces where image fidelity, ease of use, and a seamless architectural finish matter, this screen combines a tensioned projection surface with an integrated ceiling trim system to eliminate post-install trim work. The result is a clean, concealed installation that looks purpose-built for conference rooms, classrooms, houses of worship, and high-end home theatres. Built to withstand daily use, the Tensioned Advantage Electrol raises the standard for performance, reliability, and visual clarity while maintaining a discreet footprint that blends into any room design. With a generous 159" diagonal, this screen provides a cinematic canvas that fills large presentations with sharp detail, accurate color reproduction, and uniform brightness across the entire surface. Its electric operation ensures smooth, convenient control, so you can focus on your content rather than the mechanics of the screen.
- Effortless installation with integrated ceiling trim: The Advantage line is designed so the trim is built in, concealing the rough opening after mounting. This means you won’t have to complete additional trim work, saving time and delivering a sleek, professional aesthetic from the moment the screen drops into place.
- Impressive 159" diagonal for impactful projections: With a large 159" size, this screen is ideal for boardrooms, lecture halls, and home theatres that demand immersive visuals without sacrificing image clarity. The expansive viewing area makes it easy for large groups to see content clearly from seats throughout the room.
- Tensioned projection surface for warp-free image: The tensioned fabric creates a flat, even surface that minimizes waviness and distortion. This yields edge-to-edge focus, consistent brightness, and accurate color reproduction across the entire screen, even with brighter room lighting or high-contrast content.
- Electric operation for quiet, reliable performance: The screen retracts and extends smoothly with a quiet motor, allowing for unobtrusive use in meetings and classrooms. A reliable control system—often including a wireless or wired option—lets you raise and lower the screen with ease, ensuring presentations stay distraction-free.
- Durable construction and practical design: Built for frequent use, the screen housing and trim are designed to resist wear while maintaining a clean, understated look. The combination of a robust projection surface and a low-profile, integrated trim system makes maintenance straightforward and ensures consistent performance over time.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen
- Plan the installation: Verify ceiling structure and clearance, confirm electrical access for the motor, and identify an unobstructed mounting area that accommodates the 159" diagonal and recommended viewing distances.
- Prepare the opening: The ceiling trim is designed to conceal the rough opening after installation. Ensure the ceiling cavity is prepared so the trim sits flush against the ceiling for a seamless look.
- Install mounting brackets: Attach the mounting brackets securely to joists or structural members as specified by Da-Lite’s installation guidelines. Use proper hardware to support the weight of the screen and ensure level alignment.
- Hang the screen and align: Lift the screen into place, align it precisely with the trim line, and verify that the case is level. Secure all mounting points, then test the auto-retract function to confirm smooth operation.
- Run power and control wiring: Connect the screen’s motor to the supplied power supply and ensure any remote or wall switch control is configured according to the user manual. Keep wiring neatly concealed to preserve the clean aesthetic.
- Final adjustments and testing: Power on the unit, lower the screen completely, and check for any wrinkles or misalignment. If needed, adjust the limits and alignment to ensure a flat, uniformly projected surface.
- Maintenance and care: Clean the surface with recommended guidelines (gentle, non-abrasive cleaning) and inspect the housing and trim periodically to guarantee continued performance and a professional appearance.
