The UTB Contour by Da-Lite is engineered for those who demand a premium, immersive projection experience without compromising room aesthetics. With an ultra-thin bezel and a low-profile frame, this fixed-frame screen disappears into the décor, letting the image take center stage. At a generous 164-inch diagonal, it creates a striking, cinema-like viewing environment suitable for home theaters, corporate spaces, classrooms, and multi-purpose media rooms. The combination of an acid etched black frame finish, standard black backing, and a seamless projection surface ensures both visual appeal and performance, delivering bright, accurate images with minimal light loss and no visible seams. Whether you’re presenting a business presentation or enjoying a blockbuster, the UTB Contour is designed to elevate every viewing experience while maintaining a refined, modern look.
- Ultra-thin bezel with a low-profile frame - The UTB Contour features an exceptionally slim border that integrates with contemporary interior design, creating a visually expansive screen that feels like a cutting-edge flat panel. This minimalist border reduces visual distraction and enhances the perception of scale, making the image appear larger and more immersive without drawing attention to the frame itself.
- 164-inch diagonal projection surface - At 164 inches, the UTB Contour delivers a commanding, theater-grade image that fills the viewer’s field of view. The expansive size supports a variety of seating arrangements and room layouts, allowing for comfortable viewing from multiple positions while preserving image clarity, brightness, and color accuracy across the entire surface.
- Acid etched black frame finish - The frame’s premium acid etched black finish provides a sophisticated, professional aesthetic that complements modern interiors. This refined detailing minimizes glare and reflections along the frame edges, helping maintain the focus on the projected image and contributing to a cleaner, more polished overall look.
- Standard black backing to retain brightness - The UTB Contour’s backing is designed to minimize light leakage behind the screen, preserving perceived brightness and contrast. In rooms where ambient light control is limited, this backing helps ensure a crisp, vivid picture with deeper blacks and more consistent brightness across the screen.
- Seamless projection surface - The screen surface is engineered for a seamless, uniform image with no visible join lines. This ensures precise geometry, accurate color reproduction, and a smooth viewing experience across the entire image, making it ideal for critical data presentations as well as cinematic viewing.

- Unpack the UTB Contour carefully, verify that all mounting hardware is included, and inspect the frame and surface for any transport damage before beginning installation.
