Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen - 208in Electric Wall or Ceiling Mounted Screen

The Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen delivers premium large-format imaging with durable engineering for commercial spaces and high-end home theaters alike. This electric, wall- or ceiling-mounted screen combines a robust, two-piece aluminum case with dependable mounting brackets to support a commanding 208-inch diagonal surface. Designed to preserve image brightness and clarity on front projection surfaces, it features a standard black backing and a seamless projection surface for consistent, distortion-free visuals across the entire screen. With effortless setup and smooth, quiet operation, the Cosmopolitan is an ideal solution for executives’ boardrooms, conference centers, classrooms, or any venue that demands a large, professional-grade display.

• Large-format clarity and impact: The 208-inch diagonal creates an immersive viewing experience that fills expansive rooms with crisp, detailed imagery. Whether presenting financial forecasts, training modules, or cinematic content, this screen yields a compelling visual impact that commands attention and supports effective communication in corporate, educational, and hospitality environments.
• Electric, motorized convenience: Operated by a simple control mechanism, the Cosmopolitan's electric lift provides smooth, reliable retraction and extension. The motorized design minimizes setup time, reduces wear from manual handling, and ensures consistent performance across frequent use in busy venues or daily teaching sessions.
• Superior brightness retention with black backing: The standard black backing helps retain projected brightness on front projection surfaces, delivering richer contrast and more accurate color reproduction. This design helps mitigate light bleed and enhances image depth, even in rooms with modest ambient light control.
• Sturdy, space-saving construction: A two-piece aluminum case houses the screen mechanics and fabric, while integrated mounting brackets support secure wall or ceiling installation. This durable build stands up to regular use in commercial spaces and remains unobtrusive when not in use, preserving the room’s aesthetic and sightlines.
• Seamless projection surface for uniform viewing: The Cosmopolitan offers a seamless surface that minimizes visual seams and distortions across the viewing area. The result is a consistent image from edge to edge, offering predictable performance for presentations, lectures, and cinema-style content in large-format formats.

How to install Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen

• Plan the installation location carefully, ensuring there is sufficient clearance for the 208-inch diagonal when fully extended and adequate space above for the ceiling-mounted option. Verify there is a reliable electrical outlet nearby to power the motorized mechanism, and check that the wall or ceiling structure can support the weight of the two-piece aluminum case.
• Assemble and attach the mounting brackets to the chosen surface according to your room’s dimensions and mounting requirements. Use the appropriate anchors for the wall or ceiling material, and ensure brackets are level to guarantee smooth, even operation when the screen moves up and down.
• Hang the two-piece aluminum screen case onto the mounted brackets, securing it firmly. Confirm that the case aligns correctly with the reference marks and that the front surface remains free from obstructions or debris that could affect image quality when projecting.
• Connect the screen to the electrical supply and configure the control method (remote control or switch) for operation. Ensure all power connections are safe, weatherproof if needed, and compliant with local electrical codes. Test the motor to confirm it extends and retracts smoothly without binding or unusual noise.
• Perform a final alignment and test with projector placement at the intended throw distance. Check for edge-to-edge image coverage, ensure the screen sits plumb, and verify that the projection surface remains flat without wrinkles. Calibrate any auto-iris, keystone correction, or zoom settings on the projector to optimize the final image quality on the Cosmopolitan surface.
