Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electric Projection Screen brings professional-grade performance to any space, from home theaters to corporate conference rooms. Designed with a ceiling-trim system that conceals the rough opening, this screen eliminates the need for extra trim work after installation, delivering a clean, finished look straight out of the box. Its thoughtful two-stage installation option allows the screen case to be installed during rough-in or finish stages, simplifying ceiling work and reducing project timelines. Built to withstand daily use, the Tensioned Advantage integrates a quiet, reliable electric motor with a high-quality projection surface that delivers bright, uniform images with excellent contrast, even in rooms with ambient light. Whether you’re streaming presentations, watching movies, or delivering training, this screen provides a stable, warp-free viewing surface that enhances every pixel of your content.

• Ceiling-friendly, concealed trim design: The built-in ceiling trim hides the rough opening for a seamless, professional appearance in any installation environment, from classrooms to boardrooms. No additional trim work is required after mounting, saving time and labor on projects of all sizes.
• Two-stage installation option: The screen case can be installed during rough-in or finish-stage construction, offering flexible scheduling and reduced on-site disruption. This feature is ideal for renovations and new builds where ceiling access may be limited at different stages.
• Tensioned Advantage fabric for warp-free screens: The tensioned screen fabric remains flat and wrinkle-free, eliminating waviness that can degrade image quality. This results in a consistently crisp, edge-to-edge picture across the entire viewing area, even with fast-moving video and bright presentations.
• Premium projection surface for bright, uniform images: The screen surface is designed to deliver high brightness and uniform gain, producing clear details in both bright and dark scenes. The front-projection surface offers excellent color reproduction and wide viewing angles for optimal visibility from multiple seating positions.
• Quiet, dependable electric operation: A smooth-running motor enables easy up/down control with an intuitive control option, minimizing distractions in quiet environments like classrooms and home theaters. The system is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation by confirming ceiling structure, available space, and screen size requirements. Verify that there is adequate clearance for the screen to fully extend without obstruction.
• Prepare the rough opening or ceiling cutout. If using the two-stage installation, install the screen case during the appropriate stage to align with ceiling trim and architectural finishes.
• Secure the screen case to the ceiling framing according to the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines. Ensure the case is level and firmly anchored to support the weight of the screen over time.
• Run electrical connections for the motor using a dedicated circuit or as specified by local code and the manufacturer. Connect to the control method preferred for the space, such as a wall switch, remote, or automated system integration.
• Attach the ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening and create a seamless transition between the screen housing and the ceiling. Verify that there is no binding and that the fabric retracts smoothly without snagging.
• Unroll and test the screen. Check for smooth operation, proper alignment, and consistent image quality. Make any necessary adjustments to mounting, fabric tension, or alignment to ensure optimal performance.
