How to install Da-Lite UTB Contour 106" Fixed Frame Projection Screen

Installing the UTB Contour is a straightforward process designed to maximize performance while minimizing on-site complexity. Begin by selecting a suitable wall that can support the screen’s weight and provides ample clearance for projector placement and viewing distance. Ensure the wall is flat and free of obstructions so the frame sits flush against the surface for optimal alignment. Gather the necessary hardware, including wall studs for secure mounting, level, measuring tape, and a basic toolkit. If the screen is part of a larger home theater or conference room setup, coordinate with your projector’s throw distance and vertical/horizontal alignment to achieve an accurate image fit within the 16:9 frame. Follow these essential steps to complete the installation:

• Locate wall studs at the intended mounting site and mark the precise screw positions to align with the frame’s mounting brackets.
• Attach mounting brackets to the wall using appropriate hardware for the wall type, ensuring brackets are level and plumb.
• With an assistant, lift the UTB Contour frame into position and engage the brackets, securing the frame to the wall while keeping it perfectly level.
• Center the screen relative to your projector’s throw distance and verify that the image fills the 106" diagonal area without clipping or distortion at the edges.
• Fine-tune the projector alignment, focus, and keystone corrections as needed, and test with a variety of content to confirm consistent brightness and edge-to-edge clarity.

After installation, periodic checks should be performed to ensure the frame remains securely mounted and the screen surface maintains its tautness. For best results, avoid placing the screen directly in front of heat sources or areas with high humidity, which can affect frame integrity and surface performance over time. Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth will help preserve the screen’s pristine appearance and prevent particles from settling on the projection surface. If any tightening or adjustment is required, consult the installation guide or contact a professional installer to preserve warranty coverage and ensure continued optical performance.
