Know before you buy
The tensioned design uses a system of cables to pull the screen fabric taut, preventing the curling or waves that can occur on standard non-tensioned motorized screens. This ensures your image remains perfectly flat and distortion-free across the entire surface.
This specific model, 39153LS, includes a hard-wired wall switch for operation. If you require wireless remote control, you would need to look into compatible third-party control accessories or alternative Da-Lite configurations.
To check for fit, measure your available wall space to ensure you have at least 80 inches of horizontal clearance. For optimal viewing, you should also consider your seating distance; a 91-inch diagonal screen is typically best viewed from about 7 to 10 feet away.
Because of its motorized, retractable design, this screen is ideal for multi-purpose rooms where you want the screen hidden when not in use. Its high-precision tensioning also makes it a strong candidate for dedicated home theaters that require a professional, flat projection surface.
This is a motorized electric unit that requires both a secure mounting point on your wall or ceiling and a connection to a power source. Because it is a hard-wired system, professional installation is recommended to ensure the wall switch is correctly integrated into your room's electrical setup.
