Built for rental houses, staging companies, classrooms, and corporate events, this 185-inch diagonal screen delivers an immersive viewing experience across large rooms. The system combines a robust folding-frame design with an intuitive leg-to-frame locking mechanism, eliminating loose parts and minimizing setup time so crews of any skill level can deploy and strike the screen with confidence. From rehearsals to live shows and conferences, the Fast-Fold Deluxe stands up to repeated use while preserving screen tension, image integrity, and ease of handling. With Da-Lite’s reputation for dependable projection surfaces and durable construction, you gain a scalable, professional-grade solution that travels as smoothly as it performs on site.

• Portable, fast-fold design: The streamlined folding frame collapses into a compact footprint for quick loading, easy transport, and rapid deployment between venues, ensuring you can maximize show time and minimize labor costs. The frame uses precision-fit components and a lightweight yet rigid construction to resist flexing during setup, which helps maintain level screens and wrinkle-free projection. This combination makes it ideal for rental fleets, event production teams, and classrooms that value speed without sacrificing quality.
• Intuitive leg-to-frame locking mechanism with no loose parts: Each leg locks securely to the frame with a simple, tool-free system, so no small fasteners get left behind and the screen remains rigid and level even on imperfect floors. The design eliminates the risk of misplaced pins or loose hardware during transport, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent performance from venue to venue. This reliability is especially valuable in fast-paced productions where every minute counts.
• Massive 185-inch diagonal screen for powerful impact: A large, high-contrast projection surface fills the viewing area in auditoriums, large conference rooms, or multipurpose venues, helping your message land with clarity and scale. The expansive surface provides generous viewing angles for audiences seated at varying distances, while a carefully engineered gain and diffusion profile preserves brightness and color accuracy across the seating arc.
• Durable, rental-friendly construction: Built to withstand repeated transport and setup, the screen features rugged materials and corrosion-resistant hardware designed for daily use in professional environments. The folding frame resists bending under full screen tension, and the screen fabric is chosen for durability against creasing and wear—ensuring consistent performance over many cycles of assembly and breakdown in rental or event settings.
• Versatile projection options and surface quality: Optimized for bright environments with front projection and adaptable to rear projection setups when required, delivering consistent color, contrast, and sharpness across the room. The Matte White surface is designed to minimize hotspotting while offering broad viewing angles, making it suitable for a range of projector technologies and lighting conditions in corporate, education, and entertainment contexts.
