Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 247" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 247" Electric Projection Screen redefines ceiling recessed projection with a clean, professional finish. Engineered to install with the ceiling trim already in place, it conceals the rough opening and eliminates the need for extra trim work after mounting. The two-stage installation option lets the screen case be mounted during rough-in, simplifying wiring and alignment while delivering a flawless, flush look once the ceiling is completed. This screen is designed for high-traffic environments like classrooms, conference rooms, corporate lobbies, and home theaters, combining durable engineering with precise image quality for long-term performance.

• Concealed opening for a professional aesthetic: The ceiling trim is built to hide rough openings, creating a seamless, theater-like appearance that preserves sightlines and reduces visible gaps. This feature is especially valuable in finished ceilings, where cosmetic perfection matters just as much as projection clarity.
• Two-stage installation for streamlined setup: Install the screen case during rough-in or after ceiling finishes, giving contractors and integrators flexible scheduling. This approach minimizes on-site disruption, improves alignment accuracy, and shortens commissioning time while ensuring the final reveal is clean and uniform.
• Efficient electric operation and reliable performance: The motorized mechanism delivers smooth, quiet operation with predictable raise and lower cycles. Ideal for daily use in education and business environments, the system reduces maintenance downtime and keeps distractions to a minimum during presentations.
• Premium tensioning for a flat, waviness-free image: The tensioned surface maintains flatness across the full width of the screen, preventing waves and texture irregularities that can degrade image quality. This yields a crisp, uniform picture that holds up under bright projector outputs and varying room lighting.
• Flexible surface options and generous viewing size: Designed to accommodate large venues, the 247" diagonal size supports a wide range of projectors and seating configurations. When paired with compatible surface options, it delivers accurate color reproduction, wide viewing angles, and strong contrast in both dim and ambient-light settings.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 247" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan and verify space: Before any installation, measure the ceiling opening, confirm structural support, and verify ceiling trim compatibility. Ensure room lighting and projector placement are aligned with the selected screen size to maximize image quality and viewing comfort.
• Prepare the rough opening (Stage 1): If using the two-stage option, install the screen case during rough-in. Secure the mounting channel or studs, verify plumb and level, and run conduit or cables for power and control as required by local codes. This stage prioritizes precise alignment while the ceiling is still open.
• Mount and align the case (Stage 2): When finishing the ceiling, position the screen case, tighten mounting hardware, and confirm the case is square with the room. Check vertical and horizontal alignment, ensuring the screen plane is perpendicular to the viewing area for the cleanest image.
• Connect hardware and test operation: Attach the power supply and control device (remote or wall switch), then run a full raise and lower cycle. Listen for smooth, quiet operation and verify there is no snagging or binding in the roller mechanism or fabric edge.
• Finish the trim and calibrate image: Install the final ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening and the screen housing. Align the image with the projector’s throw ratio, adjust focus and keystone as needed, and perform a final image check across the entire width for uniform brightness and color accuracy.
