Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen – Wall or Ceiling Mounted Electric Screen (220")

The Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen is built for high-demand spaces where image quality, reliability, and a clean room appearance matter most. Designed for ceiling or wall mounting, this large-format electric screen delivers a uniformly flat, tensioned front projection surface that preserves image geometry and brightness from edge to edge. With a robust motorized system and a discreet white powder-coated housing featuring black backing, it minimizes brightness loss behind the surface while keeping a sleek, professional look in conference rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums. The Cosmopolitan line is known for its accurate geometry, consistent image quality, and smooth operation, making it a trusted choice for installations that demand dependable performance over time.

At 220 inches diagonally, this screen creates an immersive viewing experience ideal for large audiences and modern AV presentations. The tensioned surface resists distortion even with vibrant projector content and ambient light considerations, ensuring crisp text, sharp details, and true color reproduction. The front projection design means that your projector’s image is projected directly onto the screen, delivering bright, high-contrast visuals even in rooms with controlled lighting. The combination of a reliable motor, easy wall switch operation, and a housing that blends into any decor makes this screen a practical fit for professional environments that value both performance and aesthetics.

Durability and ease of use go hand in hand with the Cosmopolitan Series. The screen’s housing is finished in a standard white powder coat, a finish chosen for its durability, clean appearance, and its ability to blend with most interior designs. The black backing plays a crucial role in retaining projected brightness by minimizing light bleed from the rear of the screen, which helps preserve image clarity and color fidelity. The result is a front projection surface that consistently delivers a high-quality viewing experience, whether you’re delivering a corporate presentation, a teaching lecture, or a large-scale cinematic demonstration.

The control system is designed for straightforward operation in busy environments. The motorized screen is paired with a decora-style, three-position wall switch, offering simple, reliable, at-hand control for raise, stop, and lower functions. This control approach is ideal for spaces where permanent, easy access to screen operation is required, without the complexity of remote programming. For integration into larger AV systems, the robust motor and switch mechanism provide predictable performance and long service life, ensuring the screen remains a dependable centerpiece of your room’s audiovisual experience.

In sum, the Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series 220" electric screen combines a premium tensioned projection surface, flexible mounting options, durable construction, and a user-friendly control interface. It’s an excellent choice for professionals who demand consistent image quality, reliable operation, and a design that fits seamlessly into corporate, educational, and entertainment-enhanced spaces.
