Da-Lite Advantage 119" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Advantage 119" Electric Projection Screen brings cinematic image quality and professional-grade installation to any room. Designed for ceiling-recessed use, this screen hides its housing behind a trim kit that conceals the rough opening, delivering a clean, theater-like look without extra carpentry after the install. The two-stage installation option is a standout feature, allowing the screen case to be mounted and wired during rough-in framing, with the trim finished later. This approach minimizes on-site disruption, accelerates project timelines, and simplifies future room redesigns. Engineered for durability and smooth, quiet operation, the Advantage 119" is equally at home in home theaters, classrooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose spaces where image clarity and a low-profile aesthetic matter.

• Ceiling-Recessed Design with Concealed Rough Opening: The Advantage series is purpose-built to sit flush within the ceiling line, with a precision trim kit that hides the rough opening. This design eliminates visible gaps and bulky edges, creating a seamless, room-wide focus on the projected image. The result is a sophisticated, distraction-free viewing environment that aligns with modern interior aesthetics. Whether you’re outfitting a dedicated home cinema or a professional presentation space, the recessed profile preserves sightlines and enhances overall room design while maintaining easy access to the screen when needed.
• Two-Stage Installation for Fast, Flexible Setup: A hallmark of the Advantage line is its two-stage installation workflow. During rough-in, installers can position and secure the screen case, run wiring, and verify clearances. In a second stage, the ceiling trim is installed to finish the enclosure, delivering a polished, turnkey appearance without compromising ceiling integrity. This modular approach reduces downtime, simplifies upgrades, and supports complex room configurations where later modifications might be anticipated, such as reconfiguring seating layouts or adding additional display systems.
• Quiet, Reliable Electric Operation with Intuitive Controls: The 119" screen retracts and deploys with a whisper-quiet motor designed for frequent use in education and corporate settings. Access is simple through a compact remote control, and many configurations support wall switch operation for convenient, push-button control from classic seating areas or boardrooms. The smooth, precise movement ensures the screen remains level and tensioned as it travels, preserving image geometry and reducing wear over time. This reliability translates into fewer maintenance calls and a more seamless learning or presenting experience for users of all ages.
• Premium Screen Surface for Bright, Accurate Images: The screen employs a high-quality matte white projection surface optimized for broad viewing angles and consistent brightness. Designed to maintain color accuracy across various lighting conditions, the surface delivers crisp grayscale detail and sharp image definition from nearfield to far seating positions. The 119" diagonal size with a wide, nearly edge-to-edge image ensures immersive viewing without distracting hotspots. The surface performs well with a range of projectors, supporting both bright daytime environments and darker home-theater settings for maximum versatility.
• Durable, Low-Profile Construction for Everyday Environments: The Advantage enclosure features a rigid chassis and a durable finish that withstands daily use in busy spaces. The low-profile housing minimizes intrusion into the ceiling plane, preserving room sightlines and furniture layouts. This combination of rugged construction and quiet operation makes it ideal for frequently used spaces—classrooms, training rooms, conference areas, and living rooms—where dependable performance and a refined aesthetic are important. The recessed installation also offers easier cleaning and maintenance since the screen retracts neatly away from traffic areas when not in use.

How to Install Da-Lite Advantage 119" Electric Projection Screen

• Step 1: Plan and Prepare the Rough-In: Assess the ceiling structure and determine the ideal location for the recessed case. Ensure sufficient headroom and clearance for the screen to fully deploy without obstruction. Confirm electrical wiring requirements and obtain any necessary permits for installation in commercial spaces or certain jurisdictions. Having the rough-in framing completed before finishing the ceiling helps keep the project clean and efficient.
• Step 2: Install the Screen Case during Rough-In: Mount the recessed screen case into the prepared ceiling cavity according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Secure the housing firmly to structural members to minimize vibration and movement. Run power and control wiring cleanly and label connections for future serviceability. This early installation stage is what enables the two-stage process to proceed smoothly.
• Step 3: Verify Clearances and Alignment: Before closing any ceiling material, check that the case sits plumb and level. Confirm that the projection surface will align correctly with the viewing area and that the screen can fully retract without interference with lighting fixtures, HVAC components, or other ceiling hardware. Make any minor adjustments now to prevent issues after trim installation.
• Step 4: Install Ceiling Trim and Finish: After the rough-in wiring is verified, install the ceiling trim to conceal the rough opening and the screen case. The trim kit should provide a seamless transition between the ceiling and the screen housing, maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Ensure tight tolerances and a consistent gap around the edges to maximize visual appeal and prevent dust accumulation behind the trim.
• Step 5: Connect Power, Test, and Calibrate: Power up the unit and test the screen operation with the included remote control or wall switch. Check that the screen unfolds smoothly, remains perfectly level, and retracts without sticking. If available, calibrate any alignment features to ensure the image is perfectly square with the screen surface. Perform a color and brightness check with your projector to confirm optimal performance, and document any adjustments for future reference.
