Da-Lite 14172E - Tensioned Professional Electrol 120" x 192" 16:10 Aspect Ratio

Product Overview

The Da-Lite 14172E Tensioned Professional Electrol is a large-format ceiling-recessed electric projection screen with a 229" diagonal image area sized at 120" x 192" in a 16:10 aspect ratio. This model is appropriate for commercial AV installations using wide-format or WUXGA projectors in conference rooms, training facilities, and large meeting spaces. The ceiling-recessed housing keeps the screen concealed when not in use, providing a clean ceiling plane that meets commercial interior design requirements. The tensioned surface system ensures a flat, stable image plane regardless of ambient temperature or humidity variation.

Product Description

The Da-Lite 14172E is built for installations requiring a 16:10 wide-format screen at large scale. The 120" x 192" viewing area suits WUXGA (1920x1200) and similar wide-format projector outputs, making it a direct match for installations where the projector natively outputs 16:10 content without pillarboxing. At 229" diagonal, this screen is appropriate for large conference rooms, training rooms, and auditoriums where rows of viewers at extended distances need a sufficiently large image. The ceiling-recessed steel case integrates into the ceiling and includes a closure door that seals the opening when the screen is retracted. The TruGuide tensioning system applies consistent lateral tension across the full screen width, maintaining flatness that preserves focus uniformity from edge to edge. The low-voltage motor integrates with commercial AV control systems including Crestron, AMX, and Extron. IR and RF remotes are included for standalone operation. The unit is manufactured in the USA at Da-Lite's Warsaw, Indiana facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why choose 16:10 over 16:9 for a conference room?

A: Installations using WUXGA (1920x1200) or WXGA projectors benefit from a 16:10 screen to avoid letterboxing. If the projector outputs native 16:10, this aspect ratio maximizes the usable image area.

Q: Is the tensioning system adjustable after installation?

A: The TruGuide tensioning system is factory-set. Field adjustment is not typically required; however, Da-Lite's service documentation covers tension adjustment procedures if needed.

Q: What control system interfaces are supported?

A: The low-voltage motor supports dry contact (momentary closure) triggers standard to Crestron, AMX, Extron, and most commercial AV control systems. RS-232 control is available via Da-Lite's compatible control accessories.

Q: What ceiling depth is required for recessed installation?

A: Verify rough-in dimensions from Da-Lite's installation documentation before cutting the ceiling opening. The 14172E requires adequate plenum space for the motor assembly and rolled screen.

Q: What is the lead time for this product?

A: Lead times vary. Contact Creation Networks for current availability and lead time on the Da-Lite 14172E.
