• Warp-free viewing surface with Contour tensioning: The Tensioned Contour screen is engineered to stay perfectly flat, eliminating wrinkles, waves, and sag over the entire projection area. This results in uniform brightness and color consistency, which is especially important for 4K and HDR content where detail and contrast matter. The tensioned fabric maintains optimal focus from center to edges, so presenters, gamers, and movie buffs enjoy a cinema-like experience with fewer visual artifacts and more natural depth.
• Easy, versatile installation for ceiling or wall mounting: The Electrol model is designed for straightforward mounting in a variety of spaces. Whether you’re upgrading a living room with a vaulted ceiling or outfitting a corporate training room, the screen’s slim housing and adaptable mounting hardware enable secure installation with minimal space requirements. The ability to position the screen in multiple orientations makes it a flexible solution for rooms with architectural constraints or unusual ceiling angles, while retaining a clean, professional appearance when retracted.
• Motorized, convenient operation with reliable controls: The Electrol version integrates a quiet, built-in electric motor that smoothly raises and lowers the screen. A remote control or wall switch provides intuitive on/off operation, while integrated limits prevent over-travel and extend the life of the mechanism. Frequent use is common in classrooms and conference rooms, and the motor’s reliability ensures consistent performance for daily presentations, group trainings, or weekend movie nights without interruption or manual effort.
• Durable construction with finishes to suit any space: The screen housing, end caps, and fascia are designed to withstand everyday use while presenting a refined look that complements interior design—from modern minimalist settings to traditional offices. The surface is purpose-built to resist wear, fingerprints, and light reflections, while the surrounding frame and accessories provide a seamless, unobtrusive profile when the screen is retracted. With multiple finish options, this screen can be matched to furniture, wall colors, and lighting schemes, delivering an integrated, professional appearance in any room.
• Ideal for a wide range of applications—home theaters, offices, and education: The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 119" is suited to immersive home cinema experiences, corporate presentations, and instructional environments. Its large diagonal size makes it a focal point for impactful visuals, while the 12" black drop helps conceal the projector and mechanics to improve perceived contrast. For rooms requiring flexible configurations, Parallax variants offer alternative setups to optimize viewing angles, brightness, and acoustics, enabling a tailor-made solution that meets both performance needs and architectural constraints.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 119" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan and prepare: Select a mounting location that allows for the full 12" black drop when the screen is retracted, and ensure there is ample space above and around the screen housing for ventilation and cable access. Confirm structural integrity by locating studs or using appropriate anchors for your ceiling or wall. Prepare the electrical supply or conduit, since the screen requires power to operate the motor. Measure precisely to ensure a clean, level installation that aligns with the projector’s throw and seating distance for optimal image size and readability.
• Install mounting brackets: Attach the wall or ceiling mounting brackets according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly plumb. Secure each fastener with the appropriate hardware for the wall or ceiling material, and verify the bracket assembly is firm before proceeding. The goal is a stable, vibration-free mount that holds the screen securely during operation and retracts smoothly without drift.
• Hang and align the screen: With assistance, mount the screen assembly to the brackets and verify that the housing sits flush against the mounting surface. Check for level alignment across the width of the screen and make minor adjustments as needed. Ensure the screen retracts fully without binding and that the black drop aligns evenly with the projector’s throw and seating area for consistent framing of the image.
• Connect power and test: Supply power to the screen’s motorized unit, then test the up/down operation using the remote control or wall switch. Confirm smooth travel, quiet operation, and accurate auto-stop at the top and bottom limits. If necessary, adjust the travel limits per the included instructions to prevent over-travel and prolong motor life.
• Final adjustments and setup: Calibrate any projector alignment and seating positioning to maximize image coverage across the 119" diagonal. Verify ambient light control by engaging window coverings or room-darkening features, and ensure the screen fabric remains taut and undistorted after several cycles. Store the remote in a convenient location and educate users on basic operation to ensure long-term, trouble-free performance.
