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 184" diagonal, HDTV 16:9 format screen features the HD Progressive 0.6 surface — a high-contrast, low-gain surface delivering superior ambient light rejection, optimized for high-lumen 4K and Ultra HD projectors. The massive 160"x90" viewing area is designed for auditoriums, large training facilities, and multipurpose venues where large-format projection commands the space. 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.

Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 184 inch projection screen HD Progressive 0.6

Product Description

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Electrol 184" HD Progressive 0.6 represents the largest standard diagonal in the Tensioned Contour Electrol line, delivering a full 160"x90" viewable surface from a wall or ceiling surface-mount housing. At this scale, the HD Progressive 0.6 surface is particularly well-matched to high-lumen projectors — 8,000 lumens or greater — as the lower gain distributes brightness uniformly across the viewing surface without hot-spotting. The Silent Drive System minimizes motor noise during screen travel. The standard 12" black drop provides proper visual separation at the top of the viewing area. LVC integration supports dry-contact AV relay connections, 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 160"x90" surface, maintaining critical flatness 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.
