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

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen is a premium, ceiling-recessed electric solution designed to disappear into the ceiling with minimal finishing work. This 137-inch, large-format screen brings a cinematic level of clarity and brightness to home theaters, classrooms, conference rooms, and any space where a professional-grade projection experience is essential. Built around a tensioned surface, the screen stays perfectly flat for razor-sharp images, even in bright rooms or with dynamic scene changes. The result is a reliable, high-performance projection screen that combines sophisticated design with user-friendly installation, delivering an immersive viewing experience that is as practical as it is impressive.

• Two-stage installation for streamlined setup: The Tensioned Advantage ceiling-recessed screen offers a two-stage installation option, allowing the case to be mounted and wired first, while the screen fabric is prepared separately. This design minimizes on-site downtime and simplifies coordination with ceiling work, making it ideal for new constructions and retrofit projects alike.
• Concealed ceiling trim with clean, modern aesthetics: Engineered to fit the existing ceiling trim, this screen conceals the rough opening and eliminates the need for additional trim work after installation. The result is a clean, finished look that blends seamlessly with contemporary interiors, while preserving the room’s architectural integrity.
• Tensioned projection surface for flawless image fidelity: The tensioned matte white surface creates a perfectly flat viewing area that resists waviness or ripple during fast-moving scenes. This premium surface supports crisp detail and uniform brightness, ensuring that both bright HDR scenes and deep black levels read accurately on screen.
• Electric operation with durable housing: The screen is built around a robust electric mechanism housed in a ceiling-recessed enclosure. Smooth, quiet operation keeps focus on the content, whether you’re presenting in a classroom or enjoying a movie night at home. The motorized system makes raising and lowering the image effortless with the touch of a switch or remote control (where configured).
• Large-format, immersive viewing for diverse spaces: At 137 inches diag and designed for 16:9 content, this screen delivers an expansive image with broad viewing angles suitable for audience-sized gatherings or family rooms. The combination of a high-quality surface, precise tensioning, and a large diagonal translates into a cinematic experience that dominates the room without sacrificing clarity or color accuracy.
