Da-Lite Large Advantage Electrol 271" Electric Projection Screen

Engineered for large-venue performance, the Da-Lite Large Advantage Electrol 271" Electric Projection Screen blends premium engineering with streamlined installation to deliver a pristine, professional presentation surface in spaces where image clarity and aesthetic finish matter most. This Electrol model belongs to Da-Lite’s Advantage line, a family designed to simplify ceiling installations by incorporating built-in trim that completes the look without the need for additional finishing work. The result is a clean, seamless ceiling-to-screen transition that hides rough openings and preserves a crisp, architectural line across venues such as convention centers, lecture halls, houses of worship, airports, theaters, and corporate campuses. With its expansive 271" diagonal, this screen supports immersive displays for modern data-rich presentations, cinematic footage, and large-format content, ensuring audience members at all distances enjoy uniform brightness and accurate color reproduction.

• Impressive large-venue coverage: The 271" diagonal delivers a cinematic-scale image ideal for auditoriums, lecture halls, houses of worship, conference centers, and large classrooms, enabling presenters to command attention from the back rows while preserving detail and color accuracy across the screen.
• Integrated ceiling trim for a flawless finish: Part of the Advantage Electrol design, the ceiling trim is built in, eliminating the extra step of finishing the rough opening. Once installed, the trim conceals the installation gaps for a professional, gallery-worthy look that blends with the room’s architecture.
• Quiet, reliable electric operation: The screen uses a smooth, low-noise electric motor with simple remote control operation, and compatibility with wall switches for convenient control from anywhere in the room, making it suitable for frequent use in education, corporate events, and large presentations.
• Rugged construction that lasts: Built to withstand high-traffic environments, the housing and mechanism are designed for durability and long service life. The screen maintains flatness and alignment during frequent cycles, minimizing wrinkles and sag so images stay crisp from first frame to last.
• Quality projection surface with broad viewing angles: The matte white projection fabric provides uniform brightness and broad viewing angles, ensuring accurate color and clear images for audiences seated throughout the venue, whether using standard HD or modern 4K content.
