Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 94" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 94" Electric Projection Screen is a premium, large-format solution designed to deliver a flawless viewing experience in classrooms, training rooms, boardrooms, and home theaters alike. Built for durability and long-term performance, this screen leverages Da-Lite’s renowned engineering to provide a flat, wrinkle-free projection surface that stays true from edge to edge. With its versatile mounting options, elegant housing, and easy motorized operation, it makes high-quality projection simple, reliable, and aesthetically unobtrusive in any space.

• Premium tensioned design for a consistently flat projection surface: The Cosmopolitan technology maintains a taut screen across the entire diagonal, reducing warping and ripple effects so you enjoy sharp, uniform imagery with every use. This is especially noticeable on large-format screens where surface irregularities can compromise picture quality; the tensioned surface preserves brightness, color accuracy, and detail for presentations, movies, and instructional content.
• Versatile mounting for flexible spaces: Whether you have a ceiling or wall installation, the 94" electric screen accommodates a range of room configurations. Its discreet housing blends with most interiors, keeping focus on your content rather than the hardware. Ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, studios, and living rooms, the screen enhances any environment where high-quality projection is valued.
• Clean, durable housing with brightness-preserving backing: The standard white powder-coat housing provides a sleek, professional appearance while the black backing helps to retain brightness on front projection surfaces. This thoughtful construction minimizes light bleed behind the screen and helps deliver a clean, high-contrast image that supports vivid colors and deep blacks in well-lit rooms.
• Motorized convenience with a Decora-style three-position wall switch: The electric screen operation removes manual lifting and lowering, delivering smooth, quiet operation at the touch of a switch. The three-position wall switch offers easy control for raise, stop, and lower functions, enabling quick adjustments to screen height and ensuring comfortable viewing angles for different seating arrangements.
• Large-format performance in a compact footprint: With a 94" diagonal, this screen provides a generous viewing area for presentations, training sessions, and cinematic experiences while maintaining a mountable profile that won’t overwhelm smaller spaces. The combination of a taut projection surface and optimized light management makes it an excellent choice for venues that demand impactful visuals without compromising on room aesthetics.

How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 94" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation location: Choose a wall or ceiling area with clear space for a 94" diagonal screen and ensure there is access to a nearby power source for the motorized mechanism. Verify there is no obstruction behind the screen when it retracts, and that the mounting surface is solid and capable of supporting the unit's weight.
• Prepare mounting hardware: Use the appropriate mounting brackets and anchors recommended by Da-Lite for your wall or ceiling type. If you’re mounting to drywall, locate studs or use heavy-duty anchors to secure the brackets securely and ensure stable operation over time.
• Attach the mounting bracket: With the power off, position the mounting brackets at the correct height to align the screen’s housing for optimal projection height. Use a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly horizontal, then fasten them firmly to the chosen surface.
• Connect power and controls: Plug the motorized screen into a properly grounded power outlet. Install the Decora-style three-position wall switch in a convenient location within reach of users, following electrical codes for low-volt or line-voltage installations as applicable. If you’re uncertain about wiring, consult a licensed electrician.
• Mount the screen and test: Carefully hang the screen unit onto the mounted brackets and secure it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Power on the unit, lower the screen fully, and verify smooth operation—watch for even travel and quiet performance. If the surface shows any wrinkles during deployment, recheck tensioning and alignment.
• Final alignment and environment setup: Position the projector to ensure the image aligns with the screen’s diagonally flat area for edge-to-edge clarity. Take ambient lighting into account; consider room lighting controls that optimize contrast without washing out the image. Periodically inspect the housing and switch for dust, and perform routine maintenance as recommended by Da-Lite.
