Da-Lite Fast-Fold Deluxe 111" Manual Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Fast-Fold Deluxe 111" Manual Projection Screen is built for mobility, reliability, and exceptional image clarity. Designed for education spaces, corporate presentations, home theaters, and event venues, this screen combines rugged durability with user-friendly operation. The frame and legs are crafted from sturdy 1-1/4" aluminum tubing, delivering a solid structure that stands up to frequent setup and takedown. Thanks to easy release latches, you can deploy or collapse the screen in moments—minimizing downtime and maximizing presentation time. With a 111" diagonal viewing area, this model provides a generous surface for group viewing, ensuring everyone in the room has a crisp, undistorted image. The Fast-Fold Deluxe is available with a variety of Da-Lite screen surfaces to optimize brightness, contrast, and color accuracy for your specific application, whether you’re delivering a data-driven lecture, a cinematic film, or a corporate keynote.

• The 1-1/4" aluminum frame and legs deliver a durable, stable platform that’s designed for frequent use and transport. The sturdy construction reduces flex and sag, helping to maintain a consistently flat screen surface across shades of ambient lighting. The ease of assembly translates into faster event setups, fewer hassles, and more time for content delivery. Whether you’re moving from room to room in a school district or rotating venues at a conference, this screen is engineered to meet demanding schedules with dependable performance.
• Simple, quick setup and teardown are at the core of the Fast-Fold Deluxe design. Easy release latches allow you to open, position, and secure the screen with minimal effort. This means less time spent fussing with hardware and more time engaging your audience. The streamlined process is especially advantageous for teachers, trainers, and presenters who require reliability without a complicated installation procedure.
• Versatility in surface options ensures you can tailor the image to your environment. The screen is available with Da-Mat®, Da-Tex® (Rear), High Contrast Da-Tex® (Rear), Cinema Vision, Pearlescent, Dual Vision, and Ultra Wide Angle (Rear) fabrics. Each surface offers distinct benefits—from high contrast and deep blacks to wide viewing angles and enhanced color richness—so you can optimize for ambient light, projector type, and the subject matter being presented. This breadth of options makes the Fast-Fold Deluxe a flexible choice for mixed-use spaces.
• Designed for portability without sacrificing performance, the 111" size strikes a balance between a large, immersive image and manageable storage. The screen folds into a compact footprint for easy transport in vehicles and storage in closets, equipment rooms, or under stair landings. When deployed, the surface tension and frame stability work together to minimize edge curl and waviness, preserving a smooth, edge-to-edge image that audiences can read from the back row. This makes it an excellent solution for multi-purpose rooms that double as lecture halls, training rooms, or media centers.
• High-quality image integrity is preserved across a range of projection setups. The available surfaces are designed to maximize brightness and contrast under typical projectors found in classrooms and conference spaces. Whether you’re lighting a room with windows or you’re operating in a darker environment, the right surface choice on the Fast-Fold Deluxe helps deliver crisp text, clean graphics, and natural skin tones for a comfortable viewing experience. The combination of a solid frame, reliable latches, and a thoughtfully selected surface yields dependable performance that attendees notice—and remember.
