Experience pristine, cinematic projection with the Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen. This premium screen solution is engineered for flawless image geometry, enduring performance, and effortless operation in any environment—be it a bustling classroom, a modern conference room, or a home theater setup.

In addition, the Tensioned Contour Electrol offers a range of finishes and veneer options to match your decor, making installation look intentional and cohesive rather than an afterthought.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 159" Electric Projection Screen

Installing a large electric screen requires careful planning to ensure safe operation and optimal viewing. Follow these general guidelines to achieve a secure, professional installation, while always consulting the official installation manual for model-specific instructions and safety cautions.

• Choose an installation location with adequate clearance for the fully extended screen and room for cable management. Ensure there is access to a suitable power source and enough space above the screen housing for mounting hardware.
• Prepare the mounting surface. If mounting to drywall, locate wall studs or ceiling joists and use hardware rated for the screen’s weight. For retrofit installations, consider additional backing or mounting brackets as needed to ensure rigidity and long-term stability.
• Install the mounting brackets. Use a level to align the brackets precisely and secure them to the structural members with appropriate fasteners. Double-check alignment before proceeding.
• Mount the enclosure and connect power. Attach the screen housing to the brackets, verify that the enclosure is level, and route electrical wiring according to local electrical codes. Use a dedicated circuit with proper protection and strain relief for the motorized unit.
• Test operation and alignment. Power on the system, extend the screen fully, and observe for smooth, even motion. If necessary, adjust height, lateral alignment, or limit switches as required by the installation manual to ensure consistent travel and stopping positions.
