Da-Lite Advantage Series, 177" x 236" with Matte White - 36979BL
Large venue ceiling recessed electric screen, 177" x 236" Matte White surface with 4:3 aspect ratio
The Da-Lite 36979BL is an Advantage Series ceiling recessed electric screen designed for large venue front projection. Measuring 177" x 236" (749.6 cm x 449.6 cm) with a 295" diagonal, this screen features a non-tensioned Matte White surface. It is built for professional installations where architectural aesthetics are a priority, as the ceiling trim is designed to conceal the rough opening, eliminating the need for additional trim work after installation. This model includes a standard black drop and a slot closure door. The 120V (60Hz) motor features built-in standard low voltage control, allowing for flexible operation. For construction efficiency, this series supports a two-stage installation: the screen case can be installed during the rough-in stage, while the screen surface assembly is installed during the finishing stage. The white powder-coated case is UL plenum rated and is TAA compliant.
