What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol screen for its superior image quality and reliable performance. The tensioning system is highly valued for ensuring a perfectly flat viewing surface, which maximizes clarity, color accuracy, and brightness uniformity across the screen material.

While the initial cost is significant, owners consider this a durable, long-term investment justified by the exceptional visual integrity. The sleek design integrates well into professional or home theater settings. Although installation can be complex, the flawless performance once set up results in high satisfaction among those prioritizing top-tier projection.
Know before you buy
The tensioning system pulls the screen fabric taut from the sides, which prevents the curling or waves often found in non-tensioned motorized screens. This ensures a perfectly flat surface, which is critical for maintaining image geometry and preventing distortion in high-definition projections.
Yes, while the screen comes standard with a wall switch, it is compatible with optional IR or RF remote control kits. These can be purchased separately to provide wireless operation.
No, this model is designed for permanent, fixed-frame installations. It is intended to be mounted to a wall or ceiling and is not designed for frequent transport or mobile use.
The 16:9 aspect ratio is the standard format for HDTV and most modern streaming content. This screen is specifically optimized to display that format without the black bars you would see on a traditional 4:3 screen.
Because this is a hardwired electric screen, we recommend professional installation to ensure the unit is securely mounted and the electrical connections are handled safely. You will need to account for the screen's weight and the proximity of a power source during your planning.
