• Massive 189" diagonal with 16:10 aspect — The expansive 16:10 canvas yields a broad, cinematic field of view that’s ideal for modern presentation content, widescreen video, and data-rich dashboards. With a height of 100" and a width of 160", it delivers a balanced, immersive experience that fills a large screen area without overpowering the space. The generous proportions also support multi-monitor workflows by providing a consistent projection surface for side-by-side analysis and collaborative review, making it a versatile centerpiece for big rooms and dedicated home theaters alike.
• Tensioned surface for warp-free images — Da-Lite’s tensioned design keeps the screen perfectly flat across the entire surface, dramatically reducing waves, wrinkles, and distortions that can mar image quality on large screens. The tensioning system preserves consistent brightness and contrast from front-row to back-row seating, preserving precise geometry for presentations, CAD demonstrations, and film viewing. This warp resistance is especially valuable in varying environmental conditions, where humidity or heat could otherwise cause sagging over time.
• Electric, space-saving operation — The screen retracts neatly into a slim, unobtrusive housing, keeping the room tidy and avoiding visual distractions when not in use. The motorized rise and drop provide smooth, controlled movement with minimal effort, enabling quick setup for spontaneous demonstrations or last-minute meetings. The electric mechanism also helps protect the screen surface during storage, reducing the risk of creasing or accidental damage when not in use.
• Flexible ceiling or wall mounting — Built to adapt to diverse installation environments, the Tensioned Cosmopolitan can be mounted either from the ceiling or on the wall, offering maximum placement flexibility. This makes it easy to optimize sightlines, optimize throw distance, and align with existing AV infrastructure. The mount accommodates a range of room heights and allows for precise alignment with projectors and seating layouts, ensuring an optimal viewing experience from every seat in the room.
• Durable construction and reliable performance — Designed for heavy-duty use in professional environments, this screen combines robust chassis materials with a high-quality projection surface to deliver long-lasting reliability. The system is engineered for minimal maintenance and dependable operation, supported by Da-Lite’s reputation for quality and the robust engineering behind the Cosmopolitan line. The result is a screen that can handle frequent deployments, quick turnarounds, and demanding presentation schedules without compromise.

how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 189" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan your layout and determine the optimal mounting location. Ensure there is a clear projection path and access to power at the screen’s housing. Verify that the wall or ceiling structure can support the weight of the screen and hardware, and identify studs or joists to anchor the mounting brackets securely.
• Assemble the mounting hardware according to the included installation guide. Attach the hardware brackets to the wall or ceiling at the appropriate spacing for the Cosmopolitan’s mounting pattern. Use a level to confirm precision so the screen projects straight-on from the projector’s centerline.
• Hang the screen assembly onto the mounting brackets and verify that the unit is secure. Connect the electrical supply to the screen’s motorized housing, following local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s wiring instructions. If a power switch or remote control is included, test the basic power function to confirm the motor operates smoothly.
• Unroll and align the projection surface with the projector. Adjust projector throw distance and focus to achieve a sharp image across the entire 189" diagonal. Ensure the viewing area remains unobstructed and that seating aligns with the screen’s vertical and horizontal centerlines for even image perception.
• Perform a full test cycle: lower and raise the screen several times, checking for smooth movement and listening for unusual noises. Inspect the corners and edges to ensure the tensioned surface remains taut and free of ripples. Finalize any alignment adjustments to guarantee uniform brightness and color accuracy from every seating position.
