Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 92" Electric Projection Screen

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 92" Electric Projection Screen is engineered for a seamlessly clean, high-performance viewing experience in both residential and commercial spaces. Designed with a ceiling-trim in place, this screen conceals the rough opening, delivering a polished, professional look right out of the box. Its tensioned fabric surface stays perfectly flat, eliminating waviness or wrinkles that can degrade image quality on modern HD and 4K content. With a compact, clinic-worthy ceiling recess and an efficient two-stage installation option, this screen is ideal for new construction projects or retrofit installations where time, aesthetics, and performance matter most. Whether you’re outfitting a dedicated home theater, a classroom, a conference room, or a showroom, the 92" electric screen provides a balanced combination of screen real estate, ease of use, and reliable operation that enhances every presentation and viewing session.

• Wrinkle-free, tensioned projection surface: The tensioned fabric is precisely stretched to maintain a perfectly flat viewing plane across the full width of the 92" diagonal. This ensures consistent brightness, uniform color, and edge-to-edge sharpness for 1080p and 4K content alike. The result is a cinema-like image with reduced distortion and a more immersive viewing experience, even in rooms with ambient light that varies throughout the day.
• Trim-in-place ceiling design for a pristine look: The screen cabinet is engineered to be installed with ceiling trim that hides the rough opening. This makes the installation visually seamless and minimizes post-install touch-ups. It’s particularly valuable in multi-room installations where achieving a clean, professional finish is essential for resale value, aesthetics, and client satisfaction.
• Quiet, reliable electric operation: A smooth, low-noise motor provides reliable raise/lower performance with simple control options. Use a remote control or wall switch for convenient on-demand operation, and opt for additional control interfaces (RS-232 or integration with building management systems) to fit your environment and workflow. The screen is built to withstand regular daily use without compromising movement or performance.
• Two-stage installation option for faster, cleaner builds: The two-stage installation allows the screen case to be installed during rough-in or early framing stages, with the final trim and faceplate completed later. This minimizes job-site downtime and accelerates project timelines while preserving precise alignment and finish quality, especially in larger installations or renovations where coordination with other trades is critical.
• Versatile performance for home and business settings: Whether you’re delivering a classroom lecture, corporate presentation, or home cinema experience, the 92" screen strikes a balance between immersive scale and practical placement. The surface and housing are designed to handle various room sizes, seating configurations, and lighting conditions, providing reliable color accuracy and brightness control across a wide viewing angle.

how to install Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage 92" Electric Projection Screen

Preparing for installation begins with a clear plan for the ceiling recess and rough-in framing. Confirm the location provides adequate headroom, proper projector alignment, and access to electrical power. If you’re using the two-stage option, coordinate with the contractor to install the screen case during rough-in and reserve the trim-and-faceplate phase for later, when the room finishes are complete. The following steps outline a typical process to secure a flawless result while preserving the screen’s performance and longevity.

Step 1: Plan the rough-in and electrical drops. Ensure the ceiling cavity accommodates the screen case height and that electrical wiring is sized to support the motorized operation. Mark the projection throw distance from the screen surface to the projector to confirm the correct seating distance for optimal image size and throw ratio.

Step 2: Install the screen case during rough-in (two-stage option). Secure the case within the ceiling using the manufacturer’s mounting hardware and verify the alignment. Leave the trim-out and final faceplate to complete during the finishing stage. This reduces on-site disruption and keeps the case protected during construction.

Step 3: Finalize the trim and surface finishes. Once the ceiling, drywall, and paint are complete, install the trim kit and faceplate to create a clean, flush appearance that integrates with the room design. Re-check the alignment and confirm that the viewing surface remains vertical and square to the projector’s output.

Step 4: Connect power and controls. Run a safe, code-compliant power line to the screen’s motor controller and connect any preferred control interfaces. Program the remote or wall switch, and test basic up/down operation to verify smooth travel, speed, and stop positions. If RS-232 or network control is installed, ensure proper handshakes with your automation platform.

Step 5: Perform image alignment and test viewing. Turn on the projector, adjust focus and keystone settings, and calibrate color and brightness for the room. Confirm the image fills the 92" surface without cropping and that there is even light distribution across the entire screen. Make any minor adjustments to mounting or projector position as needed for optimal alignment.
