What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol screen for its uncompromising performance and superb build quality. The tensioning system is highly valued for ensuring a perfectly flat surface, which maximizes the clarity of high-resolution projectors. Reviewers consistently note the premium feel, as the motorized mechanism operates smoothly and quietly. The screen material delivers excellent color accuracy and uniform light distribution, significantly enhancing the viewing experience. While the product offers exceptional, reliable results that justify its premium price, the significant financial investment and complex installation requirements position this screen firmly in the high-end market for users prioritizing image perfection.
Know before you buy
The tensioning system applies constant lateral pull on the screen fabric to prevent curling or waves. This ensures a perfectly flat surface, which is essential for maintaining geometric accuracy and preventing image distortion during presentations.
The 16:10 ratio is primarily designed for professional and educational environments, offering extra vertical space for data and software interfaces. While it will display widescreen movies, you will see black bars at the top and bottom since most films are mastered in 16:9 or wider formats.
The screen features an integrated electric motor that allows you to raise and lower the surface via a wall switch or control system. This motorized design protects the screen material when not in use and provides a clean, professional look in any room.
This model has a screen width of 100 inches and a diagonal measurement of approximately 188.68 inches. You should measure your wall space carefully to account for the housing unit, which will be wider than the actual projection surface.
Because this is a motorized unit that requires electrical wiring and secure mounting to support its weight, professional installation is highly recommended. Improper mounting can lead to uneven tensioning or safety hazards.
