Da-Lite Advantage Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Advantage Electric Projection Screen is engineered to deliver professional image quality with a seamless, built-in aesthetic that fits both luxury home theaters and high-traffic corporate spaces. Designed for ceiling recessed installation, this screen features a clever ceiling trim system that conceals the rough opening, eliminating the need for additional trim work once the screen is installed. The two-stage installation option lets the case be mounted during rough-in, while the screen fabric is added later in a single, clean assembly, ensuring precise alignment and a flawless ceiling line. This combination of smart design, sturdy construction, and user-friendly operation makes the Advantage Electric Screen a trusted choice for installers and end-users alike who demand reliability, ease of maintenance, and a pristine viewing experience. Whether you’re outfitting a media room, classroom, conference suite, or showroom, the Advantage series blends durable hardware with high-quality imaging to produce crisp, vibrant projections with minimal setup effort. Expect smooth, quiet operation, consistent brightness, and a surface that preserves color accuracy across a wide viewing angle, all wrapped in a low-profile housing that complements modern interiors.

• Concealed ceiling integration: The ceiling trim and recessed housing create a clean, professional look by fully concealing the rough opening. This results in flush installation with minimal visible hardware, ideal for upscale homes and corporate spaces where aesthetics matter as much as performance.
• Two-stage installation option: The screen case can be installed during rough-in, with the fabric and mechanism added later. This approach reduces on-site trimming and remodeling work, speeds up project timelines, and ensures a precise fit that stays true to the room’s design intent.
• Quiet, reliable operation: Equipped with a smooth, low-noise motor and dependable retraction, the Advantage screen minimizes distraction during presentations or movie viewing. The system supports simple control through a wall switch or optional remote control for convenient, hands-free operation.
• Superior image quality and fabric versatility: The standard Matte White screen fabric provides uniform brightness and wide viewing angles for most rooms. Optional fabrics are available to meet higher brightness needs, longer throw distances, or specialized lighting environments, enabling you to tailor contrast and gain to the space and projector combination.
• Durable construction and easy maintenance: A robust, powder-coated housing and streamlined internal mechanics resist daily wear while maintaining a sleek exterior. The design prioritizes easy access for service, simple cleaning, and long-term durability in busy environments.

How to Install Da-Lite Advantage Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation: Verify ceiling structure, rough-in space, and throw distance to ensure the chosen screen size and aspect ratio fit the room layout. Confirm clearances for the recessed housing and ensure electrical wiring meets local codes.
• Prepare rough-in: Install the screen case during rough-in work if using the two-stage installation option. Ensure the casing is plumb, level, and securely fastened to structural elements to support the screen’s weight over time.
• Run power and controls: Route power to the screen location and install any required switch or control interfaces. If a remote or home automation integration is planned, install the appropriate receiver or control module according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
• Install the fabric and mechanism: Once rough-in is complete, mount the screen fabric and mechanism inside the case, align for level operation, and verify that the roll mechanism moves smoothly without binding.
• Finish and test: Attach ceiling trim to conceal the opening, reinstall any ceiling tiles or decor elements, and perform a full range test. Ensure the image projects properly, the screen retracts fully, and controls function reliably from the intended location.
