Engineered for flawless image quality and effortless installation, this screen blends precision engineering with a clean, room-ready finish. Part of Da-Lite’s renowned Advantage line, it is designed to arrive at the job site with the ceiling trim already in place, so the rough opening remains hidden and the final installation looks seamless right out of the box.

• Built-in ceiling trim for a seamless finish — The Advantage line is designed so the ceiling trim sits flush with the ceiling, concealing the rough opening after installation. This means no post-install trim work is required, saving time and reducing the potential for visible gaps or misalignment. The result is a clean, professional appearance that blends into any space, from modern boardrooms to home theater walls.
• Tensioned, warp-free projection surface — Da-Lite’s tensioned screen technology provides uniform tension across the fabric, ensuring a flat, wrinkle-free image with excellent picture consistency from edge to edge. The tensioning system minimizes droop and waviness, even in rooms with heat and humidity fluctuations or long throw distances, so every viewing session looks precisely as intended.
• Electric, quiet operation with intuitive controls — The Electrol motorized system provides reliable, silent operation for everyday use. Open and retract the screen smoothly with the included remote control or by wall switch, giving you flexible control options that fit your space and workflow. The motor is designed for long life in high-traffic environments such as classrooms, training centers, and corporate settings.
• Generous 123" diagonal for immersive 16:9 viewing — With a 123" diagonal and a 16:9 aspect ratio, this screen is perfectly sized for mid-to-large rooms, delivering a cinematic, cinematic-like experience for presentations, movies, and multimedia content. The wide viewing area ensures comfortable eye lines for audiences seated at a variety of distances, making it a versatile choice for mixed-use spaces.
• Durable housing and user-friendly installation — The screen ships with a sturdy housing designed for long life and heavy use. The built-in ceiling trim simplifies installation by concealing rough openings, while the robust construction provides reliable performance across countless sessions.

How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 123"

Installing the Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Electrol 123" is designed to be straightforward for qualified installers. Follow these general guidelines to achieve a clean, professional setup that takes full advantage of the screen’s built-in trim and tensioned surface.

1) Plan the mounting location — Choose a wall or ceiling location that provides a clear, unobstructed projection path and an adequate rough opening. Verify ceiling structure strength to support the weight of the housing and fabric. Ensure there is appropriate clearance above and around the housing for full travel of the screen and for service access.

2) Prepare the rough opening — Since the Advantage line includes ceiling trim, it’s important to ensure the rough opening aligns with the trim dimensions. Accurate measurements and level mounting are critical to maximizing the flush, trim-in-place appearance after installation.

3) Install the housing and trim — Mount the screen housing securely to the ceiling or wall framing. Attach the built-in ceiling trim so that it creates a clean boundary between the screen case and the surrounding ceiling material. This trim conceals gaps and ensures a professional, finished look once the screen is lowered and retracted.

4) Wire the power and connect controls — Run electrical wiring from a convenient power source to the unit. Connect the screen to the wall switch or use the included remote for operation. If required by local codes, install a dedicated circuit and use proper in-wall wiring practices. Ensure the remote control has a clear line of sight to the receiver for reliable operation.

5) Calibrate and test — With power supplied, extend the screen and verify smooth travel across its full travel range. Check alignment at multiple throw distances to ensure a flat projection surface with no edge curl or sag. Re-check the trim alignment around the housing and adjust as necessary for a clean, flush finish.

6) Final setup and usage — After successful testing, lock the screen in the retracted position and store the controllers in a convenient location for users. Provide basic operation instructions to end-users or facility staff: how to raise, lower, and pause during presentations, plus troubleshooting basics for common remote-control issues.

The installation process is designed to minimize on-site trim work while delivering a high-end finish. The built-in trim on the Advantage Electrol line provides a professional, “cabinet-grade” appearance that helps you achieve a showroom-ready space without the drama of post-install carpentry. For best results, rely on a qualified installer who is familiar with Da-Lite products and local electrical and building codes.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the benefit of a tensioned screen? A tensioned screen stays taut and flat across the entire viewing area, eliminating waves, wrinkles, or sagging that can occur with standard screens. This ensures a consistent, high-quality image from edge to edge, even with large-screen formats and longer throw distances.
• How does the ceiling trim work? The built-in ceiling trim in the Advantage line eliminates the need for additional trim finishing after installation. It conceals the rough opening and provides a clean, professional edge around the screen housing, delivering a seamless look that is ideal for commercial and residential spaces alike.
• Can I use this screen in a room with ambient light? Yes, but the perceived contrast and color accuracy can be influenced by ambient light. Choosing the appropriate screen surface (such as Matte White for general use or a high-contrast surface for rooms with more light) can improve image quality in brighter spaces. Consider room lighting, screen placement, and projector specifications when planning installation.
• What controls do I get? The Electrol screen typically includes a remote control and is compatible with wall switches. This enables easy operation from seating areas and convenient control for presenters and instructors.
• Is maintenance required? The screen is designed for long-term reliability with a low-maintenance profile. Regular dusting of the housing exterior and occasional inspection of the motor and wiring are sufficient for typical usage. If you encounter any operational issues, consult the manufacturer’s warranty terms or contact a qualified service technician.
• What surfaces are available for this model? Surface options vary by model and market. Common choices include Matte White (1.0 gain) and High-Contrast surfaces, each offering different brightness and viewing characteristics. Check the exact surface options listed for your SKU to ensure you select the best match for your room and projector.
