Introducing the Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 133 Electric Projection Screen — a premium, motorized projection solution engineered for superior image flatness, effortless operation, and versatile installation in professional and home theater environments. Built around Da-Lite’s renowned Cosmopolitan tensioned design, this 133-inch screen delivers a wrinkle-free, uniform viewing surface that maintains perfect image geometry from edge to edge. The two-piece aluminum housing provides robust rigidity, while the integrated mounting brackets support seamless wall or ceiling installations. Whether you’re outfitting a conference room, classroom, or immersive home cinema, this screen blends high performance with refined aesthetics, ensuring clean lines and a discreet profile when not in use.

• Premium tensioned surface for warp-free images: The Cosmopolitan tensioning system keeps the screen taut across the full width, delivering a crisp, distortion-free picture with consistent brightness and contrast. This design minimizes edge curl and wave patterns that can occur with non-tensioned screens, so your content looks as the creator intended, from modern 4K and beyond to standard-definition programming.
• Versatile installation options: The two-piece aluminum case is engineered for straightforward wall or ceiling mounting, with dedicated brackets that simplify alignment and attachment. This flexible setup supports various room geometries and ceiling heights, helping you achieve a clean, professional installation whether you’re affixing the screen above a conference table, in a media room, or at the front of a classroom.
• Motorized, quiet operation: An electric drive lowers and retracts the screen smoothly, with minimal noise and vibration that won’t distract from presentations or cinematic moments. The motorized mechanism is designed for heavy-use environments, offering reliable performance over many years of daily operation while preserving a pristine viewing surface.
• Flexible control and integration: Choose a Decora-style three-position wall switch for intuitive, on/off and auto operation. For more advanced setups, the Cosmopolitan 133 supports optional built-in low voltage control and the Video Projector Interface (VPI), enabling seamless integration with projectors, automation systems, and room control networks for centralized management and scripting scenarios.
• Durable build and easy maintenance: The screen is housed in a rugged, purpose-built enclosure crafted to withstand frequent use in commercial or residential spaces. The surface is designed for easy cleaning and long-term durability, with a finish that resist smudges and fingerprints, keeping the unit looking professional and ready for the next presentation.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan 133 Electric Projection Screen

• Plan the installation: determine whether you will mount to wall or ceiling, check structural support, and confirm available projection clearance and throw distance for your room.
• Unpack and inspect: verify all components are present, including the two-piece aluminum case, mounting brackets, and all required fasteners compatible with your ceiling or wall structure.
• Prepare the mounting surface: locate studs or structural members, mark positions for brackets, and ensure the mounting area is clean, level, and free of obstructions that could impede screen travel.
• Install the housing: secure the two-piece case to the wall or ceiling using the provided brackets and fasteners. Use a spirit level to confirm a perfectly level installation, which is essential for even screen tension and optimal image geometry.
• Attach the screen and align: connect the screen to the housing following the manufacturer’s guidance, ensuring proper alignment along the horizontal and vertical axes. Confirm the screen retracts and deploys without rubbing or interference.
• Electrical and control setup: connect the motor to an appropriate power source as per local codes. If you are using a wall switch, wire it to the Decora-style control; if using VPI or a low voltage control, follow the included wiring diagram for proper integration with your projector system or automation controller.
• Test operation: power on and test the raise/lower function, verify smooth movement, listen for unusual noises, and check that the screen reaches its full travel without binding. If needed, make minor adjustments to ensure perfect level alignment and travel range.
• Final adjustments and clean-up: secure any loose cables, tidy the installation area, and install any dust covers or trim pieces if included. Confirm that the screen remains taut and wrinkle-free after several operation cycles.
