Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen - Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen - 113in

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen combines a premium projection surface with a discreet architectural footprint, delivering a theater-quality experience without compromising room aesthetics. Designed to install neatly into a ceiling recess, this screen hides the case and rough opening behind a finished ceiling trim, reducing the need for extra trim work and delivering a clean, professional look in conference rooms, classrooms, and home theaters. Built for reliability and long-term performance, it offers a combination of durable construction, precise tensioning, and simple operation that makes it a standout choice for large-format displays and high-impact presentations.

• Ceiling-recessed, ultra-clean installation: The Tensioned Advantage series is engineered to sit flush with or slightly below the ceiling line, with ceiling trim concealing the rough opening. This design eliminates unsightly gaps and reduces post-installation trim work, giving indoor spaces a polished, integrated look that professional installers and designers appreciate.
• Tensioned screen surface for warp-free images: The tensioned system holds the projection surface flat across the entire width and height, preventing ripples or waves that can distort the image. This feature ensures consistently sharp corners and a uniform viewing experience, whether you’re delivering a business presentation, teaching a class, or enjoying a movie night.
• Impressive 113-inch diagonal size: The large-format 113-inch screen delivers an immersive viewing zone with ample brightness and contrast for medium-to-large rooms. Its proportions are ideal for 16:9 content, providing a cinematic feel while fitting neatly into spaces where wall-mounted screens are not feasible or desirable.
• Quiet, reliable electric operation with easy controls: An integrated electric drive motor powers smooth, silent retraction and extension of the screen. Paired with a simple remote control and/or wall switch (where provided), you can set up a seamless, one-touch experience for daily use—from training sessions to movie nights.
• Two-stage installation option for flexible mounting: A two-stage installation path allows installers to first secure the screen housing and then finalize the screen alignment. This method simplifies alignment in ceilings with variable structures or obstructions, helping ensure accurate, repeatable results and reducing installation time and complexity.

how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen

Installing the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen is designed to be straightforward for professional installers while still accessible for skilled DIY enthusiasts with the right tools. Follow these general steps to ensure a secure, durable installation that yields optimal image performance:

• Plan the rough opening and ceiling trim: Verify the ceiling structure and available recess depth to accommodate the screen housing. Ensure there is a clear path for wiring and space for the screen when fully extended. Prepare a clean, level opening and confirm that the ceiling trim will align flush with surrounding finish materials.
• Mount the housing using the two-stage approach: In the first stage, securely attach the screen housing to structural anchors or joists, ensuring a solid, vibration-free foundation. In the second stage, verify that the housing is plumb and level, adjusting as necessary before finalizing fasteners. This two-stage process helps achieve precise alignment and smooth operation.
• Route electrical and signal connections: Run the power supply to the motor housing and connect any control wiring for remote or wall-switch operation in accordance with local electrical codes. Use proper strain relief and grommets to protect cables, and keep wiring tidy to prevent interference with the screen mechanism.
• Install the screen surface and verify tension: Extend the screen fully to inspect for smooth operation and uniform tension across the surface. If any slack or waves appear, adjust tensioners and re-seat the surface until it lies perfectly flat from edge to edge.
• Test operation and set limits: Power the system and test the retract/extend cycle, ensuring quiet performance and proper stopping points. Adjust limit switches or programming as needed so the image comes to rest at the desired projection height for seating, furniture, or room layout.
• Finish and calibrate for viewing: Once the screen is in place, recheck alignment with the projector and the screen surface. Calibrate contrast and brightness based on room lighting and projector type to maximize image quality. Install any required accessories, such as ceiling covers or trim, to complete the finished look.
