Know before you buy
The tensioning system applies constant lateral pressure to the screen fabric, ensuring it remains perfectly flat. This prevents the waves or curling that can occur on non-tensioned motorized screens, which is essential for maintaining a distortion-free image.
Yes, the Tensioned Contour Electrol is designed specifically for permanent installations in home theaters or professional settings. Its motorized, sleek housing is built to be mounted once and operated reliably over the long term.
The screen comes standard with a wall switch for immediate operation, but it is designed with upgrade paths in mind. You can easily integrate advanced control systems, such as wireless remotes or low-voltage controllers, to suit your specific setup.
Absolutely. The 45 x 80-inch viewing area is specifically optimized for a 16:9 aspect ratio, which matches the native resolution of standard HDTV content and most modern home theater projectors.
The viewing area itself is 45 by 80 inches, but you must account for the physical dimensions of the Contour housing when planning your installation. We recommend checking the full product dimensions to ensure the housing fits your ceiling or wall space before mounting.
