Know before you buy
A tensioned screen uses a specialized tab-tensioning system to pull the fabric taut from the sides. This prevents the edges from curling and eliminates waves, ensuring your image remains perfectly flat and distortion-free.
The screen includes a standard hard-wired wall switch for operation. If you prefer wireless control, optional remote control upgrades are available for purchase separately.
Yes, the Contour housing is designed for versatile installation. It can be mounted to either a wall or a ceiling, depending on your room layout and viewing requirements.
The 16:10 aspect ratio is slightly taller than the standard 16:9 HDTV format. While it is excellent for data presentations and PC content, you will simply have small black bars at the top and bottom when viewing standard widescreen movies.
Because this unit requires hard-wiring into your home's electrical system, we strongly recommend professional installation. A qualified electrician or AV installer will ensure the screen is securely mounted and properly connected to your power source.
