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 model suits large boardrooms and multi-purpose conference centers. The SightLine cable-drop system creates a floating screen appearance and enables variable vertical positioning within a 70"/180cm range. The two-stage installation process installs the case during rough-in and the surface assembly during the finish phase. The 21:9 ultra-wide format supports hybrid video conferencing. The HD Progressive 1.1 standard matte white surface with 1.1 gain offers wide viewing angle compatibility with virtually all DLP, LCD, and laser projector types. TruGuide electric tensioning, Smooth Roll Technology, LVC control, and UL 2043 Plenum Rated case are all standard. This ceiling recessed electric screen with variable drop height is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
