What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the DaLite Tensioned Contour Electrol screen for its superior image quality. The tensioning system ensures exceptional flatness, vital for the wide 16:10 format, delivering vibrant colors and excellent uniformity. Users appreciate the smooth, quiet, and reliable motorized operation, which adds sophisticated convenience. While the initial investment is significant, those prioritizing flawless performance find the value justified. The primary challenge noted is installation; the screen's substantial size and weight often necessitate professional mounting, as do it yourself attempts can prove difficult. Overall, this is a top-tier choice for users demanding perfection.
Know before you buy
The tensioning system pulls the fabric taut across the entire frame, preventing the curling or waves that can occur on non-tensioned motorized screens. This ensures your image remains perfectly flat and distortion-free, which is essential for high-resolution projection.
Yes, while the screen comes with a standard wall switch, it is compatible with optional remote control upgrades. These allow you to operate the motorized deployment wirelessly for added convenience.
The 16:10 aspect ratio is slightly taller than the standard 16:9 widescreen format used for most movies. While it is optimized for modern business presentations and data-heavy content, it will display 16:9 content perfectly with small black bars at the top and bottom.
This model features a 160-inch width and 100-inch height, resulting in a diagonal measurement of approximately 188.68 inches.
This unit is designed for wall mounting. Because it is a motorized electric screen, you will need to ensure your wall can support the weight of the housing and that you have access to a power source for the motor.
