Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen - Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen - 137in

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen delivers a premium, high-performance viewing experience for classrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters. Engineered to install flush with the ceiling and feature built-in trim that conceals the rough opening, this large-format screen minimizes post-install trim work while maximizing a clean, professional appearance. Its 137-inch diagonal screen creates immersive image quality suited for presentations, films, and multimedia content, with a tensioned surface that preserves picture integrity from edge to edge. The two-stage installation option adds practical flexibility for installers, enabling quicker setup without sacrificing aesthetics or performance.

• Premium tensioned surface for pristine image quality: The tensioned fabric maintains flatness across the entire viewing area, dramatically reducing waviness and distortion that can occur with large screens. This produces consistent brightness, sharp detail, and accurate geometry for 4K and high-definition content, ensuring every presentation, movie, or instructional video looks as intended. The tensioning system helps resist sag over time, preserving a theater-like picture from the first frame to the last.
• Electric operation for effortless use: A smooth, quiet motor powers the screen, allowing you to raise and lower the image with the touch of a button or a remote control. This eliminates manual lifting and keeps the room free of unnecessary clutter. With reliable limit switches and a sturdy drive system, you’ll experience consistent performance with quiet operation that won’t disrupt meetings, classrooms, or viewing sessions.
• Ceiling-recessed design with built-in trim: The ceiling-recessed construction is engineered to conceal the rough opening through a built-in ceiling trim, delivering a clean, professional finish without the need for additional trim work after installation. This design not only enhances aesthetics but also simplifies the installation process by reducing post-install steps and ensuring a seamless integration with surrounding architecture. The result is a visually unobtrusive projection solution that blends with any room design.
• Two-stage installation option for maximum flexibility: The two-stage installation capability allows the screen case to be installed first, then the screen assembly and trim can be completed later. This staged approach is particularly advantageous for large-format screens where ceiling access and structural considerations may require a phased approach. Installers can secure the case in the ceiling, verify alignment, and return to finish the fabric and trim, saving time on complex projects while preserving precise alignment and operation.
• 137-inch diagonal for immersive large-format viewing: The sizeable 137-inch diagonal delivers an expansive, cinematic viewing area ideal for presentations, training sessions, home theater setups, and public display spaces. Paired with a high-quality screen surface, this size provides an engaging viewing experience with ample brightness, crisp contrast, and wide viewing angles for audiences seated across the room. The large format is compatible with a broad range of projectors and room setups, making it a versatile choice for diverse environments.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen

• Plan the installation and prepare the ceiling: Verify ceiling structure supports the weight of the screen and confirm a suitable electrical outlet or wiring for the electric motor. Ensure the rough opening is sized for the case and that there is clear access for mounting hardware. Prepare the ceiling recess to receive the case with clean lines and enough clearance for the built-in trim.
• Install the case (two-stage option): If using the two-stage approach, mount the ceiling-recessed case first, securing it firmly to structural elements. Align the case precisely to ensure the finished trim will sit flush with the ceiling. Verify level and symmetry relative to the room layout and projection throw distance for optimal image placement.
• Mount the screen fabric and tensioning hardware: With the case in place or after the first stage, attach the screen material and tensioning components according to Da-Lite’s installation instructions. Ensure the fabric is properly aligned with the case, free of twists, and tensioned evenly to maintain a flat, uniform image when deployed.
• Connect power and configure the motor: Route the power supply to the motor and connect to the control system or remote. Test the up/down operation, confirm smooth travel, and verify that the motor stops at the fully raised and fully lowered positions. Program any limit switches or remote controls according to the user manual to ensure reliable operation.
• Finish with the built-in trim and final adjustments: complete the second stage of installation by finishing the ceiling trim, concealing the rough opening, and ensuring a clean, professional appearance. Perform a final image test, adjust throw distance if necessary, and confirm proper alignment with the projector to produce a balanced, edge-to-edge picture.
