Da-Lite DL15730L 174" Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide Projection Screen (HD Progressive 0.9)

Product Overview

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide is a wall or ceiling-mounted motorized projection screen in 21:9 format, purpose-built for hybrid video conferencing environments where all meeting participants — in-room and remote — must be seen and heard equitably on a single contiguous display surface. This 174" diagonal model (DL15730L) features the HD Progressive 0.9 surface — a versatile surface optimized for variable lighting environments, offering a balance between brightness and ambient light performance. At 21:9 format, the screen spans the full width of a conference table view, eliminating the need to split the presentation across multiple displays. The TruGuide tensioning system and Smooth Roll Technology maintain a consistently flat, wrinkle-free surface throughout the product's service life. The Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide is also available in 16:9 HDTV format — see the Tensioned Contour Electrol series at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

The Da-Lite Tensioned Contour Ultra-Wide 174" DL15730L mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without requiring a recessed housing. The 21:9 ultra-wide format has become the standard for hybrid video conferencing deployments, enabling unified display of remote participants, shared content, and in-room camera feeds in a single panoramic view. The HD Progressive 0.9 surface delivers a gain of 0.9, making it well-suited for conference rooms where lighting conditions vary throughout the day — it performs effectively in both partially lit and fully lit environments when paired with appropriately specified projectors. The Silent Drive System minimizes motor noise during screen travel. Standard LVC with a three-button Decora wall switch is included for standalone operation. Optional SCB-100 or SCB-200 RS-232 serial control boards and Video Projector Interface are available as factory options. TruGuide tensioning applies uniform tension across the full ultra-wide surface. 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 Ultra-Wide mounts directly to a wall or ceiling surface without a recessed housing. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for recessed installation alternatives.

Q: Why choose 21:9 ultra-wide format for a conference room?
