• 184" diagonal 16:9 projection surface with a 160" W x 90" H viewing area, designed to fill generous viewing spaces while preserving accurate geometry for modern HD and 4K content. This size is ideal for large conference rooms, lecture halls, and expansive home theaters where every seat gets a true, edge-to-edge picture.
• Tensioned Advantage fabric uses a taut, warp-resistant surface that stays perfectly flat from edge to edge. The precision tensioning eliminates curl and ripple, delivering consistent focus and uniform brightness across the entire image even after repeated cycles of extension and retraction—ensuring a professional-grade presentation every time.
• HD Progressive 1.1 gain provides bright, life-like images with accurate color and strong perceived contrast. The surface supports wide viewing angles so attendees near the screen and those farther back enjoy similar image quality, reducing hot spots and color shifts that can occur on lower-gain fabrics.
• Standard Low Voltage Control (LVC) enables simple, reliable operation with a wall switch or automation-friendly interfaces. Optional control options are available to integrate the screen into room automation systems, scheduling workflows, or motorized control presets for a seamless, theater-like experience.
• UL Plenum-rated white powder-coated case with Decora-style three-button wall switch option creates a clean, professional aesthetic that blends with modern interiors. The robust housing protects the mechanism and wiring while meeting building codes for plenum spaces, making it suitable for commercial and institutional installations as well as home theaters.

How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 184" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan your installation location carefully, choosing a ceiling-m mount or wall-mount option that provides sufficient space for the case dimensions and allows the screen to retract fully without obstruction. Confirm that the surface is structurally sound to support the weight and mounting hardware required for a 184" diagonal screen.
• Prepare electrical and low-voltage wiring in accordance with local codes. Route power to the screen motor and run low-voltage control wiring for LVC or optional automation devices. If you are combining the screen with a room automation system, coordinate with your integrator to ensure compatibility and proper safety clearances.
• Install mounting brackets securely to ceiling joists or anchor points that can bear the load of the housing. Use a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly plumb and aligned with the centerline of the viewing area to prevent image keystone or misalignment over time.
• Attach the screen housing to the mounted brackets and verify that the housing sits level. Check that the fabric retracts smoothly without catching on any bracket edges and that the surface remains flat when extended. Apply any required trim or wall plates to integrate the control surface with the room’s design.
• Connect the motor and low-voltage control lines, then perform a careful test. Lower and raise the screen several times to confirm smooth operation, verify that the surface sits flat when extended, and ensure there are no unusual noises or binding. Finally, calibrate any optional wall switches or automation presets for intuitive use and reliable performance.
• Perform final checks and cleaning: wipe down the housing exterior to remove fingerprints, verify that all cables are neatly organized and secured, and confirm that the viewing surface is clean and undamaged before presenting content to an audience.
