Know before you buy

Yes, the Acumen V features floating mounting brackets that allow for both wall and ceiling installation. This flexibility makes it easier to position the screen exactly where you need it in your home theater.
The aluminum housing measures 7-1/8 inches in height and 5-7/8 inches in depth. You should ensure you have enough space in your desired location to accommodate these dimensions while allowing for the motor's operation.
