how to install Elite Screens Starling Tab-Tension 2

Installing the Starling Tab-Tension 2 is designed to be straightforward, delivering a clean, professional look with minimal effort. Start by identifying a suitable mounting location that provides a stable, level surface and a clear throw distance for your projector. Confirm that the wall or ceiling you choose can support the weight of the housing and the screen. With the floating back brackets, you’ll align the mounting plane first, then secure the brackets to the wall or ceiling. Once the brackets are secured, attach the screen housing to the brackets and carefully thread the screen so that the edges are properly tensioned. Connect the power supply to the screen’s motor and, if included, connect the IR or wall-control receiver. Finally, power on the projector and the screen to confirm proper alignment, tension, and geometry. Fine-tune any vertical or horizontal alignment, run a test image, and enjoy a perfectly flat, immersive projection surface.

  • Preparation: Choose a location with ample throw distance and a solid, level mounting surface. Gather necessary hardware as specified by the model and ensure you have access to a power source for the motorized unit.
  • Mounting: Attach the floating back brackets to the chosen wall or ceiling line. Use a level to ensure precise alignment before securing the brackets. The back brackets are designed to simplify installation and reduce wall clutter.
  • Housings and screen: Secure the arcuate housing to the mounted brackets, then route the screen fabric carefully. Confirm that the edges are ready for tensioning and free from obstructions.
  • Electrical and control setup: Connect the screen’s motor to the power source. Pair the remote or wall switch and verify that the motor responds smoothly to commands. Test both retraction and deployment cycles to ensure consistent operation.
  • Calibration: Power the projector and screen, then perform a quick geometric alignment check. Adjust throw and keystone settings as needed to achieve edge-to-edge alignment with optimal focus and brightness.

Light and easy to move around! Still sturdy and tall like I wanted.
Color: Grey, Size: 2 Large Panels
Easily put together, work excellently for a room divider and taller than I am at 5'9" so that makes the privacy really great for our purposes. The feet turn and so you can get them out of a pathway as needed, the middle one that has two posts in it does not move but the end ones do. Very LIGHT so not hard to move around. Fabric is not see through. We have a lamp on one side and you can see the light through it but that is not an issue for us. The price is right!! most cubicle kinds of walls are so, so, so much money. With these being light and still give privacy the price was great. If you want them for sound, this is not the product for you but really most cubicle calls are not going to give you privacy other than visually anyway and these do that well. The size was accurate and so fit exactly how I needed them to and that was an important point for me. I used both of them in L shapes for my room and the size was right on.

Almost perfect
Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels, Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels
The cloth material is sturdy and fits well on the design. Both sides are black and you can't tell a difference between each side. It's extremely light weight and easily movable. We got a double and a single and the single is used as a sliding door. It's definitely not the MOST stable thing but overall it's pretty stable, probably won't work GREAT on carpet. It's not see through at all, which is great, the only downfall is the gap between the two sides. We are using a blanket to cover the gap. It's not 6 foot tall, but you can adjust the feet on it to be taller. Overall it's a great product for the price and can easily be moved out of they way.

A decent buy
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to assemble, good quality fabric, the two horizontal "feet" are supposed to be stabilized by a knob/screw but its always looosening up with even the slightest move, so the only unfortunate thig is that it requires constant turning to tighten it if you adjust its location even a teensy bit. I used it as a backdrop to hold a design of balloons, then since the party I use it as a "semi" partition in a bedroom. Good value for the money since it can be used over and over.

Inexpensive Solution For Privacy
Color: Grey, Size: 2 Large Panels, Color: Grey, Size: 2 Large Panels
This worked for my needs to get privacy on a second-floor patio that faced neighbors about 16 feet away, and was almost exactly the width and height I need, and was looking for. As the patio was about 12 feet in width. The fabric is thin, but not see-through, and works well enough for my specific privacy needs. It wasn't that sturdy, even with the three legs, the top would kind of bend a bit from the weight of the thing, but I knew this from previous comments on reviews, and opted to use C-clamps and some screws to tighten it to the wall so that isn't an issue since I was outside and had walls to be able to screw into. You may have to try something different if using inside. I gave four stars instead of five as the instructions past Step 3 really don't make much sense for Steps 4 and 5 where the two are connected and when legs are put on, but I was able to work through it eventually. They really need to break down the steps for installing the legs with better illustrations. Also, highly recommend having two people work on it or at least having a second person on standby for certain steps just due to the size of them once they are together or for connecting the dividers together in the end.
