Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Deluxe Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Deluxe Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen is engineered for professionals and enthusiasts who demand pristine image quality, a clean installation, and reliable performance day after day. Built to minimize the typical finishing work after hanging a screen, this model integrates ceiling trim that hides the rough opening and delivers a polished, showroom-ready appearance out of the box. Its tensioned surface keeps the image perfectly flat across the entire viewing area, eliminating waviness and distortion—an essential feature for presentations, training rooms, classrooms, and cinematic home theaters alike. With an electric drive system that offers smooth, quiet operation and flexible control options, this screen makes high-quality projection effortless, turning any space into a compelling visual experience.

• Integrated ceiling trim for fast, professional installations: The Advantage Deluxe Electrol is designed with built-in ceiling trim that conceals the rough opening, dramatically reducing trim finishing time and ensuring a clean, finished look from the moment the installation is complete. This feature is especially valuable in retrofits or environments where aesthetics and speed matter, such as corporate boardrooms, universities, or multi-purpose spaces.
• Tensioned viewing surface delivers distortion-free imagery: The screen’s tensioned fabric remains uniformly taut, resisting edge flutter and internal waves caused by temperature changes or humidity. This means straighter edges, consistent brightness, and reduced moiré or geometric distortion, which translates into crisper text for presentations and more immersive cinematic visuals for home entertainment.
• Electric operation with versatile control options: The Electrol motor provides dependable, whisper-quiet travel for smooth rise and return. It supports multiple control methods, including a wireless remote for flexible placement and a wall switch for permanent installations, enabling effortless operation in classrooms, conference rooms, or living rooms.
• Generous 106" diagonal in a versatile 16:9 format: The 106" widescreen surface is ideal for modern projectors and aligns perfectly with HDTV content and 4K material. The 16:9 aspect ratio delivers familiar cinematic proportions, making it suitable for multimedia presentations, video conferencing, education, and home theater setups without the need for letterboxing or image cropping.
• Rugged construction and low maintenance: Encased in a durable aluminum housing with integrated trim, the screen is built to withstand heavy use in high-traffic environments. The surface is designed for easy cleaning and long-term reliability, while the enclosure protects the fabric from dust and everyday wear, preserving image quality over years of use.

How to Install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage Deluxe Electrol 106" Electric Projection Screen

Installing this screen is designed to be straightforward for qualified installers and capable DIYers alike. The process emphasizes achieving a flush, professional finish with the integrated ceiling trim and ensuring reliable motor operation for years of use.

Step 1 — Plan and prepare: Begin by selecting the ideal mounting location with consideration for projector placement, throw distance, and viewing height. Confirm the ceiling structure can bear the screen’s weight and ensure access to a convenient power source for the motor and any remote receivers. Prepare the surface by clearing obstructions and verifying that the installation space allows the screen to retract fully without interference.

Step 2 — Gather and inspect components: Unpack the screen, then inventory the mounting brackets, fasteners, and controller hardware. Check that you have all required anchors for your ceiling type (wood joists, concrete, or existing ceiling channels), as well as any mounting templates that may be included. Inspect the fabric surface for any creases or damage before installation.

Step 3 — Mount the bracketry and align: Attach the mounting brackets to the ceiling or wall according to the manufacturer’s template, ensuring they are perfectly level and square. If you’re installing into a recessed ceiling, make sure there’s clearance for the housing and trim, and that the opening is accurately sized to allow the screen to fit flush with the ceiling plane once retracted.

Step 4 — Run power and connect controls: Install the electrical supply to the motor as required by local codes. If using a remote control, install the transmitter or receiver in the appropriate location and test the connection to ensure consistent response. If a wall switch is used, wire it according to the provided diagram and verify safe operation with the fully extended and retracted positions.

Step 5 — Attach the screen and perform final adjustments: Secure the screen housing to the mounting brackets, then slowly raise the screen to the desired viewing height. Verify that the surface sits parallel to the projector image and that the casing sits flush against the ceiling or wall. Perform multiple cycles to confirm smooth operation, confirm the automatic travel limits, and adjust any trim or alignment as needed for a clean, professional appearance.

Step 6 — Final checks and care: With the screen deployed, check for full travel and ensure the surface lands evenly in the housing. Test both remote and wall switch controls, confirm the image fills the screen correctly, and inspect the trim for tight fit. Periodically wipe the housing with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust, and avoid harsh cleaners near the fabric or seals to preserve performance over time.
