Da-Lite DL15689L 156" Tensioned Advantage with SightLine Ultra-Wide Projection Screen (HD Progressive 1.3)

Product Overview

The Da-Lite Tensioned Advantage with SightLine 156" 21:9 Ultra-Wide Projection Screen (DL15689L) with HD Progressive 1.3 surface is a ceiling recessed 21:9 ultra-wide projection screen with a higher-gain surface engineered for long-throw projection installations or facilities where projector lumen output requires gain assistance to achieve target screen brightness at the 156" diagonal. This Da-Lite SightLine floating screen commercial AV product features a 1.3 gain surface that amplifies projector output, making it the appropriate specification when throw distance or projector brightness requires additional gain. The 21:9 ultra-wide format supports hybrid video conferencing projection screen deployments. At approximately 71" H x 133" W, this Da-Lite commercial projection screen installation is suitable for large conference rooms and boardrooms with long-throw projector infrastructure.

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 addresses large conference rooms with long-throw projection distances. The SightLine cable-drop system creates a floating screen appearance with 70"/180cm variable positioning. The two-stage installation process 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 1.3 surface with 1.3 gain compensates for brightness falloff at long throw distances; note that higher-gain surfaces have a narrower viewing cone—confirm seating geometry before specification. TruGuide electric tensioning, Smooth Roll Technology, LVC, and UL 2043 Plenum Rated case are standard. This ceiling recessed 21:9 ultra-wide projection screen carries a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• SightLine Cable-Drop System — Replaces black drop fabric with 3–4 thin cables, creating a floating screen appearance and allowing variable vertical positioning up to 70" from ceiling to screen top edge.
• 21:9 Ultra-Wide Format — Designed for hybrid video conferencing solutions displaying in-room and remote participants simultaneously on a single surface.
• Two-Stage Installation — Case installs during rough-in construction; surface assembly during finishing stage, reducing coordination requirements between trades.
• TruGuide Electric Tensioning System — Maintains uniform surface tension across the full viewing area to eliminate wrinkles and surface distortion.
• Smooth Roll Technology — Prevents surface deformation during retraction cycles, maintaining flat viewing surface over the product’s service life.
• Standard Low Voltage Control (LVC) — Integrates with third-party AV control systems via dry contact relay without requiring high-voltage switching at the control point.
• UL Plenum Rated Case — Approved for installation in plenum air spaces per UL 2043, meeting commercial building code requirements in most jurisdictions.
• Ceiling Trim-in-Place Design — White powder-coated aluminum case with closure door conceals the ceiling opening; no additional trim work required after screen installation.
• HD Progressive 1.3 Higher-Gain Surface — 1.3 gain surface amplifies projected brightness for longer throw distances or lower-lumen projectors; confirm seating geometry against gain curve before specifying.
• Seamless Viewing Surface — No center seam; maintains visual continuity across the full 156" ultra-wide viewing area.

Typical Applications

• Large conference facilities with long-throw projection infrastructure
• Boardrooms where projector lumen output requires gain assistance at 156" diagonal
• Multi-purpose rooms with extended throw projector setups
• Corporate training rooms with long-throw AV infrastructure
• Government conference spaces with architectural ceiling requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the SightLine feature and how does it differ from standard black drop?

A: SightLine replaces the traditional black fabric drop with 3–4 thin cables, creating a floating screen appearance, 70" variable positioning, and open space above the screen for cameras or speakers.

Q: Is this screen compatible with standard AV control systems?

A: Yes. LVC integrates with Crestron, AMX, Extron, QSC via dry contact relay. Contact creationnetworks.net for integration assistance.

Q: What projectors are compatible with the HD Progressive 1.3 surface?

A: Designed for longer throw distances or projectors requiring gain assistance. Confirm seating geometry against the gain curve before specification. Contact Creation Networks for a projector-screen compatibility consultation.

Q: Can this screen be installed in a plenum air handling space?

A: Yes. UL 2043 Plenum rated per IBC and NFPA 90A requirements.

Q: What is the two-stage installation process?

A: Case installs during rough-in; surface assembly installs during finish phase after painting and ceiling tile work.

Q: What warranty does Da-Lite provide on this product?

A: 5-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
