Da-Lite 89955LS Tensioned Advantage Electrol HDTV Format Projection Screen (65x116", HDP 1.1 Contrast

Product Overview

The Da-Lite 89955LS Tensioned Advantage Electrol is a ceiling-recessed motorized projection screen sized at 65" x 116" (133" diagonal) in HDTV 16:9 format with an HD Progressive 1.1 Contrast surface. This model addresses conference rooms and meeting spaces where moderate ambient light is present and improved black levels are needed alongside a wide viewing angle. The HD Progressive 1.1 Contrast surface combines a gray base with a reflective top layer to enhance contrast for DLP and LCD projectors. The TruGuide tensioning system maintains a flat image plane suitable for 4K and UHD content.

Product Description

The Da-Lite 89955LS is designed for ceiling-recessed installation in conference rooms and commercial meeting spaces where full lighting control is not achievable. The 65" x 116" viewing area provides a 133" diagonal image at 16:9 HDTV aspect ratio, suitable for mid-size to large conference rooms. The HD Progressive 1.1 Contrast surface uses a gray-base construction with a reflective top coat that improves perceived black levels and image contrast compared to standard matte white surfaces. At 1.1 gain, the surface maintains a wide viewing angle, ensuring consistent image quality across the seating width of a typical conference table arrangement. The TruGuide tensioning system holds the screen fabric under consistent lateral tension, preventing edge curl and surface waves that reduce image sharpness. The steel recessed housing includes a closure door that seals the ceiling opening when the screen is stored. Low-voltage motor control integrates with commercial AV control systems via dry contact trigger. IR and RF remotes are included. The LS suffix indicates this unit includes a low-voltage switch control system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the HD Progressive 1.1 Contrast differ from standard matte white?

A: The Contrast surface uses a gray base layer that absorbs ambient light more effectively than a white base, improving black level reproduction. The reflective top coat maintains brightness while the gray base deepens shadow detail, resulting in higher perceived contrast.

Q: What does the LS suffix indicate?

A: The LS suffix indicates the screen ships with a low-voltage switch control system included, simplifying installation in spaces where a separate control accessory would otherwise be required.

Q: Is this screen compatible with 4K UHD projectors?

A: Yes. The HD Progressive 1.1 Contrast surface is compatible with 4K UHD, 1080p, and all standard projector outputs. The TruGuide tensioning system maintains the flatness required for sharp 4K focus across the full image area.

Q: Can this screen integrate with a Crestron control system?

A: Yes. The low-voltage motor accepts a dry contact trigger, which is the standard interface for Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other commercial AV control processors.

Q: What warranty applies to this screen?

A: Da-Lite products carry a limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks or Da-Lite directly for current warranty terms for the 89955LS.
