Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 113" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 113" is a premium motorized projection screen crafted for effortless installation and enduring performance. Designed for either ceiling or wall mounting, this screen blends seamlessly with any room while delivering a pristine, wrinkle-free surface. The Tensioned Contour technology keeps the projection surface flat and uniform, ensuring a sharp, consistent image from edge to edge. With a variety of finishes and veneer options, you can tailor the screen to complement your decor, whether you’re outfitting a home theater, corporate conference room, classroom, or presentation space. The result is a sophisticated, space-saving solution that elevates the viewing experience without sacrificing aesthetics.

• The Tensioned Contour surface is engineered to stay perfectly flat, eliminating wrinkles and warping for a uniformly crisp image across the entire screen area, even with larger diagonals. This tensioned design reduces bowing and distortions that can degrade picture quality, delivering a professional-level projection surface for both bright and dim ambient-light environments.
• Electric operation makes setup and usage effortless. A reliable motor retracts the screen smoothly into a compact housing when not in use and lowers it with controlled precision when you’re ready to present. The whisper-quiet mechanism minimizes distractions, enabling seamless transitions between content and discussion without interruptions.
• A broad selection of finishes and veneer options lets the screen blend with any interior design scheme. Whether you favor a modern, high-gloss look or a classic wood veneer, Da-Lite provides options that harmonize with your room’s furnishings, reducing the need for additional décor adjustments after installation.
• Standard black backing enhances image contrast by preventing light from bleeding through the screen, which helps maintain deep blacks and vibrant colors even in rooms with some level of ambient light. This backing also contributes to improved perceived brightness and overall picture quality for a more immersive viewing experience.
• Simple installation and robust construction suit a wide range of applications. The screen’s housing is designed for secure mounting to ceilings or walls, and its lightweight profile helps preserve sightlines in rooms with limited ceiling height or wall space. The system is compatible with standard AV setups and is built to withstand daily use in busy environments.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 113" Electric Projection Screen

Installing the Tensioned Contour Electrol is a straightforward process designed to minimize disruption and deliver dependable performance. Begin by selecting a secure mounting location that provides adequate clearance for the 113" diagonal screen and accounts for any ceiling or wall obstructions. Verify that the mounting surface is stud-anchored or otherwise capable of supporting the screen’s weight and movement. If you are mounting to a ceiling, locate joists and align the mounting brackets to distribute the load evenly; for wall installations, ensure the wall is solid and capable of handling dynamic loads from the retracting mechanism.

Next, mount the projection screen housing to the chosen surface. Use the supplied hardware and ensure the unit is level to prevent uneven retraction or uneven image alignment. Once the housing is securely attached, connect the power supply for the motor according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Route cables discreetly to keep the installation clean and safe, and avoid placing cables where they may be pinched or damaged during operation.

With the housing mounted and powered, lower the screen completely to verify smooth operation. Check for any misalignment by comparing the bottom edge of the image to a reference line to ensure a perfectly level projection. If adjustments are required, use the built-in alignment features or adjust mounting brackets as specified in the installation guide. After confirming proper operation, perform a final test with your projector to confirm that the image is centered, square, and fills the screen without overscan or keystone distortions.

Finally, configure any integration with room control systems or switches to automate the motor’s up-down action. If your environment supports remote control or scheduling, set appropriate presets for presentations, meetings, or media playback. Regular maintenance—such as periodic checks of mounting hardware, ensuring the casing is free from dust, and inspecting the screen fabric for wear—will extend the lifespan and preserve image quality over time.
