Da-Lite 159" Tensioned Contour Projection Screen HD Progressiv...
Product Overview
The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol is a wall or ceiling-mounted motorized projection screen engineered for commercial AV installations where a ceiling-recessed housing is not required. This 159" diagonal, HDTV 16:9 format screen features the HD Progressive 0.6 surface — a high-contrast, low-gain surface that delivers superior ambient light rejection optimized for high-lumen 4K and Ultra HD projectors. At 139"x78" viewable, this is a commanding large-format screen suited for auditoriums, large conference rooms, boardrooms, and training facilities where image contrast and ambient light rejection are critical at significant projection distances. The TruGuide tensioning system and Smooth Roll Technology maintain a consistently flat, wrinkle-free viewing surface throughout the screen's service life. Optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 serial control boards enable integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other control platforms. The Tensioned Contour is also available in 21:9 Ultra-Wide format for hybrid video conferencing — see the Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide series at creationnetworks.net.
Product Description
The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 159" HD Progressive 0.6 mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing, making it well-suited for large-format AV installations in standard commercial construction. At this diagonal, the HD Progressive 0.6 surface is particularly recommended for installations where a high-lumen projector — 6,000 lumens or greater — is being used, as the 0.6 gain ensures that excess brightness does not cause hot-spotting or washout across the large viewing area. The Silent Drive System minimizes motor noise during operation, and the standard 12" black drop provides proper visual separation at the top of the viewing area. LVC integration supports dry-contact AV relay connections for control system integration, with optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 boards and Video Projector Interface available as factory options. TruGuide tensioning applies uniform tension across the full 139"x78" surface, maintaining flatness critical at this screen size. Smooth Roll Technology prevents surface distortion during retraction cycles. A three-button Decora wall switch is included for standalone operation. The 5-year limited warranty covers all motorized components and screen surface materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this screen require a recessed ceiling opening?
A: No. The Tensioned Contour Electrol mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing. For ceiling-recessed installation, see the Tensioned Advantage series at creationnetworks.net.
Q: Why is HD Progressive 0.6 recommended at 159"?
A: At large diagonal sizes, projectors with output of 6,000 lumens or greater are typically specified. HD Progressive 0.6's lower gain prevents hot-spotting and brightness rolloff issues that can occur with standard-gain surfaces when paired with high-lumen projectors at shorter throw distances.
Q: What control interfaces are available?
A: Standard LVC with a 3-button Decora wall switch is included. Optional SCB-100, SCB-200 RS-232, and VPI trigger are factory-installed options.
Q: Is this screen compatible with 4K and UHD projectors?
A: Yes. HD Progressive 0.6 is specifically recommended for high-lumen 4K and Ultra HD projection in large-format installations.
Q: Can I add RS-232 control after installation?
A: RS-232 control must be factory-installed. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net before ordering.
