This wall- or ceiling-mounted, electric screen delivers a clean, professional look with a standard white powder-coat housing and a black backing to maximize brightness on front projection surfaces.

• Large-format versatility for any space: The Cosmopolitan Series is engineered to accommodate expansive 216" diagonal screens, making it ideal for grand-scale presentations, lecture halls, premium home theaters, and multi-use spaces. Its generous visual footprint ensures audiences across the room enjoy crisp, uniform brightness and a theater-like viewing experience without compromising on image detail or color fidelity.
• Premium projection surface with brightness retention: The screen is designed with a black backing that minimizes rear light bleed and helps retain projected brightness on front projection surfaces. This feature enhances contrast and color saturation, delivering vivid, lifelike imagery even in rooms with ambient light control challenges. The matte white surface maintains accurate color reproduction and wide viewing angles for consistent image quality from seating positions throughout the room.
• Effortless operation with built-in motorization: The Cosmopolitan screen uses a reliable electric drive that smoothly rolls the screen up and down at the touch of a wall switch. A Decora-style three-position wall switch provides intuitive control with precise stopping points, allowing you to raise the screen to stow, lower it for viewing, or set it to a ready position for quick presentations. The motorized design minimizes wear on users and helps protect the screen surface by retracting it when not in use.
• Durable construction and elegant finish: The standard white powder-coated housing not only looks clean and professional but also stands up to daily use in high-traffic environments. The housing conceals the roller mechanism and rolled screen edge, protecting internal components from dust and debris while keeping cables neatly organized. The sleek, unobtrusive profile integrates seamlessly into any room decor, preserving sightlines and reducing visual clutter.
• Flexible mounting and broad compatibility: Designed for wall- or ceiling-mounted installations, the Cosmopolitan screen offers flexible placement options to suit room geometry and ceiling height. Its robust mounting system supports secure attachment to structural surfaces, helping ensure years of dependable operation. Whether used as a primary screen in a conference room or as a premium display surface in a home theater, Cosmopolitan adapts to a wide range of environments and projection setups.

How to Install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

• Plan the installation location by considering the room layout, available ceiling height or wall space, and the viewer seating arrangement. Ensure the chosen spot provides unobstructed projection and stable support for the screen housing.
• Verify structural mounting points. For wall or ceiling mounting, locate joists or use appropriate anchors and hardware rated for the screen’s weight. Follow the included mounting template to mark the exact hole positions for secure attachment.
• Prepare electrical connections. The Cosmopolitan’s motorized screen requires a power source. Route a correctly rated power line to the installation area, ensuring compliance with local electrical codes. Use a Decora-style three-position wall switch in the desired switch location to control screen movement.
• Attach the housing and align. Secure the screen housing to the wall or ceiling using the supplied hardware. Ensure the housing is level and perpendicular to the projection surface to prevent image distortion when the screen is lowered.
• Install the screen surface and perform a test. Once the housing is securely mounted, guide the screen into its viewing position and perform a full up-and-down test with the wall switch to confirm smooth operation and proper stopping points. Check that the screen fully retracts and retracts without interference, and verify the image alignment from several seating positions.
• Finalize setup and safety checks. Tidy the power supply, secure any loose cables, and confirm that all fasteners remain tight after the initial usage period. If a longer throw distance or alternative mounting configuration is required, consult the installation manual for recommended adjustments or professional installation assistance.
