Product Description
The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage with SightLine is a ceiling-recessed electric projection screen engineered for commercial AV installations requiring architectural integration and high performance. At 156" diagonal in 21:9 ultra-wide format (approximately 71" H x 133" W viewing surface), this screen suits large boardrooms and all-hands facilities with mixed lighting. The SightLine cable-drop system replaces traditional black drop fabric with 3-4 thin cables, creating a floating screen appearance and enabling variable vertical positioning within a 70"/180cm range. The two-stage installation installs the case during rough-in and the surface assembly during finishing. The 21:9 ultra-wide format supports hybrid video conferencing. The HD Progressive 0.9 surface with 0.9 gain delivers versatile performance across commercial projectors in mixed-lighting environments. TruGuide electric tensioning, Smooth Roll Technology, LVC control, and UL 2043 Plenum Rated case are standard. This ceiling recessed 21:9 ultra-wide projection screen carries a 5-year limited warranty.
