Da-Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen - 130" Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen

The Da-Lite Advantage Series Ceiling-Recessed Electric Projection Screen with a plenum-rated case delivers a seamless, high-performance solution for large-format presentations and home theaters. Designed to hide the rough opening with a built-in ceiling trim, this screen minimizes post-install trim work and creates a clean, professional aesthetic from day one. The 130-inch diagonal screen pairings provide a striking balance of immersive image size and room versatility, making it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, and high-end home cinemas alike. Built to withstand daily use, the Advantage Series combines robust construction, easy operation, and Da-Lite’s renowned screen fabric for dependable, long-lasting performance.

Engineered for environments where aesthetics and performance matter, this ceiling-recessed electric screen features a two-stage installation option. That means installers can position the screen case during ceiling work, then finalize alignment and fabric tension once the room is complete. The result is a flush, discreet installation that preserves ceiling design while delivering a premium projection surface with consistent brightness and color accuracy. Whether you’re delivering corporate presentations, educational content, or cinematic experiences, the Da-Lite Advantage screen ensures your images pop with clarity, contrast, and uniformity across the viewing area.

In addition to its elegant appearance, the screen’s plenum-rated case is a key advantage for code-compliant installations in spaces where air plenum requirements apply. This makes it a preferred choice for professional installations in commercial settings, where safety and compliance are paramount. The 130" diagonal screen offers a wide viewing angle and generous image footprint, delivering an engaging viewing experience even in rooms that aren’t perfectly optimized for seating. With Da-Lite’s trusted engineering and materials, you get dependable operation, minimal maintenance, and a screen that looks and performs superbly for years to come.

5 Key benefits and features of the Da-Lite Advantage Series 130" Ceiling-Recessed Electric Screen

• Concealed Ceiling Trim, Clean Aesthetics: The built-in ceiling trim hides the rough opening and eliminates the need for additional trim work after installation. This creates a sleek, professional presentation space with a consistent look from every angle. The two-stage installation option adds further flexibility by allowing the case to be installed during ceiling construction or after the ceiling is in place, minimizing disruption and ensuring a precise fit.
• Electric Operation with Quiet Performance: The screen rises and lowers with a smooth, reliable motorized system designed for quiet operation. This makes it well-suited for boardrooms, classrooms, and home theaters where sound discretion matters. A handheld remote (and compatible control options) make operation effortless, so you can focus on your content rather than the mechanism.
• Plenum-Rated, Code-Compliant Case: The Advantage Series case is designed to meet plenum-rated requirements, supporting safer installation in spaces where air handling and ventilation codes apply. This adds peace of mind for commercial installations and ensures your screen remains compliant over time, even in demanding building environments.
• Premium Screen Surface for Uniform Image Quality: The screen uses Da-Lite’s Advantage Matte White projection surface, delivering uniform brightness and a wide viewing angle with accurate color reproduction. The surface is optimized for front projection, providing excellent image clarity in rooms with ambient light control and seating arranged for optimal viewing distance.
• Durable Build and Trusted Warranty: A sturdy aluminum case, durable fabric trim, and robust mounting systems give this screen long-lasting performance in busy spaces. Paired with Da-Lite’s comprehensive warranty and service network, you gain confidence that your investment will hold up under regular use and provide reliable support if needed.

How to install Da-Lite Advantage Series Projection Screen - 130in

• Plan and verify installation space: Confirm ceiling cavity dimensions and ensure the plenum-rated case is appropriate for the location. Check electrical supply (110–120V standard where applicable) and plan for remote control or wall switch integration. Prepare the rough opening to accommodate the case and ensure there is clear room for lowering the screen without obstructions.
• Stage 1 — Case installation or ceiling trim prep: Use the two-stage installation option to either install the case first or complete ceiling trim before mounting. Secure the ceiling-recessed housing firmly to structural members, following local codes and Da-Lite’s mounting guidelines. Verify levelness and alignment to ensure a flush, seamless finish with the ceiling plane.
• Stage 2 — Screen alignment and fabric tension: With the case in place, install the screen fabric and confirm proper tracking. Adjust tension so the image sits flat and square within the frame. Ensure the housing cover is properly sealed and that any required ventilation openings remain unobstructed for safe operation.
• Electrical connections and controls: Wire the screen’s motor to a dedicated circuit per local electrical codes. Install your preferred control method—remote control, wall switch, or automation integration—so you can operate the screen smoothly and reliably. Test the motor for a full rise and return cycle, listening for excessive noise or binding and correcting as needed.
• Final checks and commissioning: Clean the fabric surface, verify the uniformity of the projected image, and confirm alignment with the projector. Calibrate room lighting and seating to optimize contrast and brightness. Document the installation, warranty information, and any remote or control configurations for future reference.
