Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen - Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen - 110in Screen
The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage ceiling-recessed electric screen blends professional-grade engineering with discreet architectural design, turning large-format projections into an immersive viewing experience. Built around a tensioned surface, this screen delivers a flat, warp-free image across the entire 110-inch diagonal, making it ideal for high-definition presentations, classrooms, corporate spaces, and home theaters. The ceiling-recessed installation keeps the screen tucked neatly into the ceiling plane, and the integrated ceiling trim conceals the rough opening so no extra trim work is required after mounting. With a two-stage installation option, you can simplify the build process by mounting the screen case first, then finishing with the screen fabric, ensuring precise alignment and a clean, professional finish. In short, this screen brings bold, accurate image quality to any space while preserving the room’s aesthetics and reducing installation time.
- Premium tensioned screen surface minimizes waviness and curl, delivering a crisp, uniform image from edge to edge for HD and 4K content.
- Electric, motorized operation that enables quiet, smooth retirement of the screen at the push of a button, ideal for boardrooms, classrooms, and home theater setups.
- Ceiling-recessed design with in-ceiling trim in place to conceal the rough opening, eliminating the need for additional trim work and creating a seamless, professional look.
- Generous 110-inch diagonal format provides a commanding viewing experience for large groups, while maintaining short throw distances and comfortable viewing angles.
- Two-stage installation option allows the screen case to be mounted first, with the fabric and hardware installed later, reducing on-site complexity and improving alignment accuracy.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen - Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen - 110in Screen
Installing the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage ceiling-recessed screen follows a straightforward process designed to minimize disruption to ceilings and maximize alignment accuracy. Before you begin, ensure you have the appropriate ceiling cutout dimensions, a suitable mounting structure, and access to power for the screen motor. The two-stage installation option lets you mount the screen case first, which helps you verify alignment before finalizing the fabric installation.
Step 1: Plan and prepare. Verify the ceiling opening dimensions match the screen’s case and trim kit. Confirm that a clean, level mounting plane exists and that you have the necessary mounting hardware compatible with your ceiling type. Gather basic tools and ensure electricity is accessible in the ceiling cavity or nearby wall box for ease of connection.
Step 2: Mount the screen case (stage one). Using the provided mounting points, secure the screen case to the ceiling structure. Check for level and plumb, consulting the manufacturer’s guidelines for load-bearing requirements and weight support. The stage-one installation holds the case securely in place while you confirm proper alignment and clearance for the fabric path when the screen is lowered.
Step 3: Install ceiling trim and rough opening concealment. With the case in place, attach the ceiling trim kit to create a clean, hidden finish around the screen housing. This step is critical to achieving the seamless look that concealed screens are known for, eliminating the need to perform additional trim work after installation.
Step 4: Run wiring and connect the motor. Route power and control wiring through the ceiling to the motorized screen. Secure connections according to local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s instructions. If the screen offers optional wired or wireless control, set up the preferred control interface and test basic operation to confirm reliable command response.
Step 5: Install the fabric and complete the second stage. If you’re using the two-stage approach, attach the screen fabric and any remaining hardware, then carefully lower the screen to verify smooth travel and uniform travel height. Adjust alignment as needed to ensure the image sits perfectly within your projection area and that the case sits flush within the ceiling cavity.
Step 6: Test and calibrate. Power on the system, test auto-retraction and manual stopping, and verify the image travels straight and evenly. Check the drop height to ensure it aligns with your room’s seating and projector placement. If your room supports auto-sensing lighting or ambient-light rejection features, calibrate those options for optimal performance.
Step 7: final inspection and cleanup. Once operation is confirmed, re-inspect for any debris or loose hardware. Reinstall trim pieces and confirm that the surrounding ceiling presents a clean, finished appearance. Store any extra mounting hardware for future maintenance or replacement needs.

-
Q: Can the screen be installed in a finished ceiling?
A: The ceiling-recessed design is intended for installation into the ceiling cavity with a trim kit to conceal the rough opening. It is best installed by qualified professionals who can handle ceiling work and electrical connections safely and cleanly.
-
Q: What is the advantage of the tensioned surface?
A: The tensioned screen surface stays flat across the entire viewing area, reducing waviness and curl that can occur with aging or large-format screens. This results in sharper contrast and more consistent image quality, particularly important for high-definition projection.
-
Q: What is involved in the two-stage installation?
A: The two-stage installation allows the screen case to be mounted first, offering an opportunity to verify alignment before attaching the fabric and finalizing the setup. This approach minimizes on-site adjustments and helps ensure a precise, professional finish.
-
Q: Is the screen compatible with 4K or UHD projectors?
A: While the screen’s surface is designed to render high-definition content with rich color and detail, compatibility with 4K or UHD sources also depends on the projector and ambient light control in the room. A high-quality projector paired with this screen will deliver excellent 4K/UHD image quality in properly lit spaces.
