Da-Lite 85399LS Tensioned Advantage Electrol HDTV Format Projection Screen (65x116") Da-Tex

Product Overview

The Da-Lite 85399LS Tensioned Advantage Electrol is a ceiling-recessed motorized projection screen with a 65" x 116" (133" diagonal) HDTV viewing area and a Da-Tex rear-projection surface. Da-Tex is designed for installations where the projector is positioned behind the screen, allowing audiences to view the image from the front without seeing the projector. This configuration is used in broadcast studios, trade show displays, and any venue where projector concealment is required. The TruGuide tensioning system maintains a flat surface. This model includes a low-voltage switch.

Product Description

The Da-Lite 85399LS provides a ceiling-recessed Da-Lite electric projection screen with Da-Tex rear projection capability for commercial AV installations requiring projector concealment. The 65" x 116" viewing area at 133" diagonal and 16:9 HDTV format is compatible with all standard HD and UHD rear-projection setups. The Da-Tex surface is a translucent material that transmits projected light from the rear while providing a viewable image from the front. This configuration is selected when the projection throw space is available behind the screen plane and audience access or aesthetics require keeping the projector out of the room. The TruGuide tensioning system maintains consistent lateral tension across the screen material, preserving image flatness for sharp focus across the full image. The ceiling-recessed steel housing with closure door conceals the screen when not in use. The LS configuration includes a low-voltage switch. The motor accepts dry contact triggers for integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and similar systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What projector placement is required for Da-Tex rear projection?

A: The projector must be positioned behind the screen in a dedicated rear-projection space. Short-throw rear-projection lenses can reduce the required depth behind the screen plane. Consult a Da-Lite certified installer for throw distance calculations.

Q: Can this screen be used for front projection if needed?

A: Da-Tex is optimized for rear projection. Using it for front projection will result in significantly reduced image quality. If front projection is required, choose a different surface such as HD Progressive 1.1 or Da-Mat.

Q: How does this integrate with commercial AV control systems?

A: The low-voltage motor accepts a dry contact trigger for integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other commercial AV control platforms.

Q: Is a specific projector type required for Da-Tex?

A: Da-Tex is compatible with any projector technology (DLP, LCD, laser) when used in a rear-projection configuration. Confirm the lens and throw distance with your projector manufacturer.

Q: What warranty applies to this product?

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