Experience immersive, cinema-grade projection with the Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen. This 189-inch diagonal, electric screen offers wall- or ceiling-mount flexibility for professional environments and high-end home theaters. The clean white powder-coated housing conceals the mechanics, while the black backing enhances contrast by absorbing ambient rear light. The tensioned Cosmopolitan surface stays perfectly flat, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate color in bright rooms. With reliable motorized operation and a compact, discreet profile, it's the ideal solution for conference rooms, classrooms, training facilities, and premium home cinema setups. Built to endure heavy daily use, this screen merges sophisticated aesthetics with dependable performance, ensuring years of service and consistent image quality in demanding venues.

• Premium, front-projection optimized image — Designed specifically for front projection, the Cosmopolitan surface delivers true-to-life color, crisp text, and vibrant graphics. The large 189" diagonal creates an expansive viewing canvas that fills the field of vision, making presentations more impactful and movies more immersive. The surface is engineered to minimize distortion and maintain consistent brightness across the entire image, so your content looks sharp from any seating position. In bright classrooms or corporate environments with ambient light, this screen excites detail without washing out foreground elements, ensuring you communicate ideas with clarity and professionalism.
• Tensioned surface for unwavering flatness — The hallmark of the Cosmopolitan series is its tensioned fabric that resists warping, wrinkles, and sagging. This means an impeccably flat display from edge to edge, even on a screen of this magnitude. The tensioning system preserves crisp geometries and uniform focus, which is crucial for precise data visualization, architectural renderings, and cinematic playback. Forget about waviness or puckers; enjoy a consistently pristine image that remains true from the first frame to the last.
• Electric operation with simple control — Elevate your space with effortless motorized operation. The screen raises and lowers at the touch of a decora-style, three-position wall switch, keeping attention on the content rather than the hardware. This intuitive interface is ideal for classrooms, training rooms, and multi-use spaces where quick deployment and clean aesthetics matter. For integrations, the system can be paired with optional remotes or control systems depending on installation specifics, offering flexible control options to suit your environment.
• Durable aesthetics and ambient-light handling — The white powder-coated housing delivers a clean, professional look that blends with modern interiors, while the black backing enhances image contrast by absorbing rear ambient light. This combination preserves perceived brightness and depth, especially in rooms with windows or other light sources. The discreet cabinet profile keeps the installation visually unobtrusive in executive spaces, auditoriums, or home theaters where design and performance must coexist in harmony.
• Versatile mounting and long-term reliability — Whether you prefer wall mounting for minimal footprint or ceiling mounting for optimal projector alignment, this screen accommodates both configurations. Built to withstand frequent deployment in busy environments, the Cosmopolitan series combines robust construction with Da-Lite’s reputation for dependable AV performance and straightforward service. The result is a large-format screen that remains reliable through countless presentations, lessons, and immersive media experiences.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

Plan the installation location by measuring ceiling height or wall clearance to ensure the 189" diagonal fits comfortably and that there is unobstructed space for screen deployment. Identify solid mounting surfaces capable of supporting the weight of the housing and the rolling mechanism, such as studs in a wall or reinforced ceiling joists. Verify that electrical outlets are accessible for the motorized screen and that the intended wall switch location is convenient for daily use. Ensure there is an unobstructed travel path for the screen to retract and deploy, and confirm that projector throw and screen position align to deliver the intended image height and width. Review local codes for electrical wiring and structural mounting, and prepare a clean work area to protect the screen fabric during installation.

• Position and mount the brackets or mounting plate securely to the selected wall or ceiling, using fasteners appropriate for the structure (studs, joists, or reinforced anchors). Plumb and level the mounting plane to guarantee an even, straight deployment.
• Attach the electric housing to the mounting plate, ensuring the screen’s travel path is unobstructed and aligned with the projector’s throw distance. Double-check clearances from the floor, ceiling, and any lighting fixtures or HVAC components.
• Route power and any control wiring to the motor housing and the wall switch location. Adhere to local electrical codes and use proper strain relief and grommets to protect cables. If using a control system or remote, plan for integration according to your installation specifics.
• Secure the housing and perform a test raise and lower cycle to confirm smooth, silent operation without binding or rubbing. Check that the fabric retracts evenly and that there are no twists or kinks in the motorized mechanism.
• Align the projection surface with the projector. Adjust the screen height and horizontal position as needed so that the image aligns with the projector’s center and fills the intended viewing area without cropping.
• Power up the projector and the screen, and test in the room with content. Verify color accuracy, brightness, and uniformity across the entire 189" image. Make projector settings adjustments to optimize gamma, contrast, and color temperature for the Cosmopolitan surface.
• Install any required trim pieces, endpoint covers, and access panels. Tidy up cables for a clean install, and store the user manual and warranty information for future reference.
• Perform a final operational check after any room reconfigurations (furniture movement, lighting changes, or projector repositioning) to ensure consistent performance over time.
