The Da-Lite DL15257BL is a 78" x 139" (159" diagonal) Advantage Series electric projection screen designed for ceiling recessed applications.

The 16:9 HDTV format features a Matte White non-tensioned surface and a standard black backing to maximize projected brightness for front projection. This SKU is a Case/Box Only for Rough-In, allowing the enclosure to be installed during the construction phase and the screen surface assembly to be added during finishing. The unit includes standard 120V (60Hz) motor operation with built-in standard low voltage control and a slot-style closure door. This TAA Compliant product is manufactured in the US and features a white powder-coated case with a UL plenum rated enclosure.

Questions about this part
Will the DL15257BL fit my 16:9 display setup?
Yes, this 159" diagonal screen is specifically configured for a 16:9 HDTV format with a 78" height and 139" width.
How does the SightLine cable drop affect installation?
SightLine uses 3 or 4 thin cables to hang the screen, which provides a floating effect and eliminates the need for a black drop. The cables accommodate a standard 70" drop distance between the ceiling and the top of the screen.
What else do I need to purchase for control?
While this model includes standard low voltage control, you can add accessories like the DL16521 PoE Injector controller or the DL16522 RF (BLE) Remote controller for expanded operation.
Can I adjust the vertical drop distance of the screen?
Yes, the SightLine system allows for variable vertical placement. While the standard drop is 70", you can opt for a 10-ft SightLine option using part number DL16476.
What tools are required for installation?
The installation requires the tools listed in the Da-Lite Advantage Series instruction manual to properly secure the housing to the structure above the drop ceiling.
