Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen — Ceiling-Recessed with Plenum-Rated Case and Trim (164-inch)

Elevate your viewing spaces with the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen, a premier ceiling-recessed solution engineered for a clean, professional look and outstanding image quality. Designed to conceal the rough opening with trim, this 164-inch diagonal screen delivers an immaculate finish that fits seamlessly into modern home theaters, corporate boardrooms, classrooms, and performance spaces. The combination of a tensioned surface, plenum-rated casing, and a motorized design makes this screen ideal for environments that demand both aesthetics and performance.

At the heart of the Tensioned Advantage design is a taut viewing surface that stays flat and wrinkle-free, even with frequent use or dynamic content. The tensioning system minimizes edge waviness and image distortion, ensuring sharp geometry and consistent brightness from edge to edge. When not in use, the screen retracts into a recessed housing, preserving sightlines and contributing to a clean, unobtrusive ceiling line. This is especially valuable in rooms where ceiling architecture matters and a visually minimal footprint is desired.

The two-stage installation option further enhances installation flexibility. This approach gives installers the ability to work with the ceiling structure in stages, enabling precise alignment and trim integration before final concealment. The result is a smoother on-site process, reduced installation time, and a refined finish that hides imperfections while still providing easy access for future maintenance. The plenum-rated case and trim add another layer of value by meeting building code requirements for air-handling spaces, making this screen suitable for commercial installations and modern residences alike.

Beyond its architectural and installation advantages, the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Series Projection Screen is built to endure. The durable screen surface resists creasing and maintains image fidelity across a wide viewing area, delivering reliable performance for high-use environments such as classrooms, training facilities, and conference rooms. Its front-projection design is optimized for contemporary projectors, enabling impressive color, contrast, and detail while accommodating a variety of room sizes and lighting conditions.

Whether you’re outfitting a dedicated home theater, a corporate presentation space, or an educational facility, the 164-inch Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Ceiling-Recessed Screen provides a compelling blend of form, function, and long-term value. The combination of a discreet, trim-ready installation, a taut projection surface, and a robust, code-compliant casing makes this screen a smart investment for venues that demand immersive visuals and dependable operation over many years.
