Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen – 159" Electric, Wall or Ceiling Mounted

The Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen delivers premium big-screen performance with the versatility modern venues demand. Designed for large-format presentations, this 159-inch diagonal electric screen offers a flat, wrinkle-free viewing surface thanks to its tensioned design, ensuring crisp, professional image quality whether you’re delivering lectures, corporate briefings, or immersive home theater experiences. With installation flexibility as a core feature, it can be mounted on a wall or ceiling to suit your room configuration, while the durable white powder-coated housing with black backing preserves brightness for front-projection surfaces and minimizes light bleed behind the screen. The result is a reliable, high-contrast projection experience that stays in perfect alignment through daily use. From conference rooms to classrooms to dedicated home theaters, the Cosmopolitan's combination of size, stability, and ease of operation helps you captivate any audience with accurate color, sharp detail, and a clean, distraction-free image.

• Large-format projection surface: The 159" diagonal screen size creates an immersive viewing experience ideal for large venues or spaces that require generous seating for audiences. Its expansive canvas ensures every seat has a clear, bright image, making it perfect for training sessions, lectures, sales pitches, and home theater setups where big, impactful visuals matter.
• Tensioned, flat projection surface: The Cosmopolitan tensioned material maintains a perfectly flat surface across the entire viewing area, eliminating wrinkles, waves, and bowing that can degrade image quality. With tensioning engineered into the screen, you enjoy uniform focus from edge to edge, so text remains crisp and graphics stay sharp even during long presentations.
• Electric, user-friendly operation: This screen is powered by a quiet, reliable motor and controlled with a decora-style, three-position wall switch. The intuitive control makes raising and lowering the screen quick and easy, reducing setup time between sessions and allowing presenters to focus on content rather than equipment.
• Versatile mounting options: Designed for either wall or ceiling installation, the Cosmopolitan screen adapts to your room geometry and architectural constraints. Whether you’re retrofitting a classroom, outfitting a conference room, or integrating into a media space, the flexible mounting approach helps you maximize viewing comfort and projector placement.
• Bright, front-projection optimized with black backing: The standard white powder-coat housing includes a black backing that helps preserve projected brightness on front-projection surfaces. This design minimizes light bleed behind the screen, enhancing contrast and color fidelity in projected images, even in environments with ambient light.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

Professional installation is recommended to ensure level mounting, precise alignment, and safe electrical connections. The installation process is straightforward for qualified installers and designed to accommodate both wall and ceiling mounting configurations. Start by selecting a mounting location that accommodates the 159" diagonal screen while providing clear space for operation and projection. Verify structural support at the chosen mounting points—whether attaching to wall studs or ceiling joists—to ensure the screen remains secure during operation. Use the provided mounting hardware and follow Da-Lite installation guidelines to attach the brackets firmly, ensuring the assembly remains plumb and level. Route power to a switched circuit in compliance with local electrical codes, connect the screen’s electrical housing, and confirm that the wall switch operates smoothly with the motorized mechanism. Finally, perform a test run, lower and raise the screen to ensure proper travel, and calibrate the alignment so the image is square to the projection surface and fully within the frame. If you’re unsure about any step, consult a qualified installer or your dealer to guarantee optimal performance and safety.
