Da-Lite Contour Electrol 153" Electric Projection Screen

The Contour® Electrol® is the latest ceiling or wall-mounted electric screen offering simple installation and versatile integration into any room. Designed to blend with a wide range of interiors, this screen delivers dependable performance for presentations, home theaters, education spaces, and corporate environments. The Contour Electrol is available in a variety of finishes and veneer options, allowing you to tailor the look to your decor while keeping the focus on your content. Note that this model does not include the Tensioning Cable System; for a tensioned solution, explore the Tensioned Contour Electrol option. Enjoy dependable, easy-to-install projection with a clean, streamlined profile that complements your space rather than dominating it.

• Easy installation and flexible mounting: The Contour Electrol 153" is designed for straightforward ceiling or wall installation, making it an ideal choice for both new builds and retrofits. Its compact headbox fits neatly into a room’s architectural line, while the mounting system provides robust support for long-term use. Whether you’re outfitting a home theater, classroom, conference room, or training space, this screen offers a smooth, professional look with minimal setup time, so you can start presenting sooner.
• Finish and veneer customization: A variety of finishes and veneer options lets you harmonize the screen with your interior design. From rich wood veneers to modern veneer laminates, you can match wood tones, metals, or neutral surfaces to create a seamless integration with paneling, cabinetry, or architectural details. This customization ensures the screen doesn’t look like a separate device in the room but rather a natural extension of the space.
• Premium projection performance for clear imagery: The Contour Electrol employs a Matte White viewing surface with standard gain characteristics that deliver accurate color reproduction and uniform brightness across the screen. With a 153" diagonal screen, you’ll appreciate generous viewing angles and sharp image clarity for presentations, films, and slides. The electrically operated mechanism provides smooth, quiet operation, so your content remains the star of the room—no distractions from mechanical sounds or manual adjustments.
• No tensioning cable system included (and why that matters): This Electrol model is designed for standard installations without the Tensioning Cable System. If your space requires an ultra-flat, tensioned surface for uniform sag control or a larger, more rigid surface, you may consider the Tensioned Contour Electrol variant. For many rooms, the standard Contour Electrol provides excellent image uniformity and a clean aesthetic at a lower price point, making it a practical option for a wide range of environments.
• Ideal for versatile environments and uses: Whether you’re delivering corporate presentations, streaming a movie night, or teaching a class, the 153" screen size offers ample viewing for mid-to-large rooms. Its mobility—mountable on either wall or ceiling—adds flexibility for different seating arrangements and room geometries. The screen’s design supports easy maintenance and quick deployment, ensuring you can adapt the space for different events without compromising the quality of your projection.

How to Install Da-Lite Contour Electrol 153" Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation by selecting a sturdy mounting surface and confirming access to a compliant power source. Ensure the space provides adequate clearance for the 153" diagonal screen to fully retract without obstruction.
• Choose between wall or ceiling mounting. Use the provided mounting template to mark pilot holes and confirm alignment with the screen’s housing. Ensure the mounting surface can support the screen’s weight and the dynamic forces of normal use.
• Attach mounting brackets securely to the wall or ceiling. Double-check level and plumb alignment to prevent sag or tilt after installation. Tighten hardware to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to maintain long-term stability.
• Hang the headbox assembly and connect the electrical wiring as directed by the installation manual. Route power cables neatly and away from hot surfaces or moving parts. Restore power and test the motorized operation to verify smooth travel and stopping accuracy.
• Test the projection: verify proper focus, alignment, and image geometry. If needed, adjust the screen position, projector throw, and image geometry to achieve uniform brightness and sharpness across the entire screen. Use the available control interface (and optional remote or wall switch as applicable) to operate the screen and confirm reliable retraction.
