Matte White
One of the most versatile screen surfaces and the number one choice for situations where
ambient light is controllable. It's surface evenly distributes light over a wide viewing
area. colors remain bright and life-like, with no shift in hue. Screen surface may be
cleaned with mild soap and water. flame retardant and mildew resistant.
Gain - 1.0
Viewing Angle - 50°
High Contrast Matte White
Designed for moderate output DLP and LCD projectors, this
screen surface is a grest choice when video images are the main source of
information being projected and where ambient light is moderately
controlled. With its specially designed gray base material and
reflective top surface, this screen material is able to provide very good
black levels without sacrificing the white output level.
Gain - 1.1
Viewing Angle - 45°
Glass Beaded
A glass beaded screen surface has the ability to achieve a higher gain by reflecting more
of the projected light back along the projection axis. glass beads impregnated in the
screen's surface provide additional reflectance providing a screen surface for vibrant,
life-like color reproduction at moderate viewing angles. Not recommended for areas where
screen will be subject to abuse or soiling.
Gain - 2.5
Viewing Angle - 30°
Silver Matte
A uniquely designed screen surface with a specially
designed silver finish. This surface is perfect for situations where a
silver surface is necessary for polarized 3-D projection. The matte
finish of this surface successfully rejects ambient light.
Gain - 1.1
Viewing Angle - 30°
Video Spectra 1.5
This screen surface is especially designed for demanding video and LCD projection applications where a balance of higher
gain and greater viewing angle is required. The special pearlescent surface may be cleaned
with mild soap and water. Flame retardant and mildew resistant
Gain 1.5
Viewing Angle - 35°
High Power
This screen is a technological breakthrough. The "exclusive" multi-layered
surface provides the high reflectivity of a glass beaded surface with the unique ability
to clean the surface when required. It's smooth textured surface provides the highest gain
of all typed of screen surfaces with a moderate viewing angle. Can be cleaned with mild
soap and water and is flame retardant and mildew resistant. With a High Power screen the
light will reflect back to it's source, be it windows or a projector. Not to be used in an
installed projector situation because the light will reflect up to the projector, not out
to the audience.
Gain - 2.8
Viewing Angle - 25°
Super Wonder-Lite
Super Wonder-Lite employs a scientifically designed ridged lenticular pattern, embossed
into an aluminum vinyl and textile laminate. It's free from objectionable glare and hot
spots, even in partially darkened rooms. It's washable and mildew resistant. Not available
in all screen types since the material needs to be tensioned.
Gain - 2.5
Viewing Angle - 50°
Wide Power
Wide Power combines the features of a higher gain screen surface of 2.2 with a wider
45 degree viewing angle. The smooth acrylic surface may be cleaned with mild soap and
water. Wide Power is only available on the Deluxe Insta-Theater screen line.
Gain - 2.2
Viewing Angle - 45°
Non-Supported
Vinyl
Dual Vision
A unity gain flexible fabric capable of both front and rear projection. The surface is
ideal for video projection where light is controllable. With its exceptionally wide
viewing angle, each seat in the audience will observe a uniform, bright, sharp image with
no color shift.
Gain - 1.0
Viewing Angle - 50°
Da-Mat
A smooth, white, vinyl finish surface for precise image reproduction. Provides an
exceptionally wide angle of view with little loss of resolution. It is a highly flexible
unsupported vinyl fabric and may be folded or rolled.

Viewing Angle - 50°
Cinema Vision
A unique unsupported vinyl surface that offers a bright, uniform image with no color
shift no matter at what angle you view the image.
Gain - 1.3
Viewing Angle - 45°
Pearlescent
This surface utilizes an unsupported vinyl creating a very smooth Pearlescent coating
that provides high reflectivity and brilliance without loss of image quality or
resolution.
Gain - 2.0
Viewing Angle - 35°
Borders & Drop
Screen Borders
Black masking borders are standard on all Da-Lite front projection screens at no extra
charge. Borders enhance the perceived brightness of an image on a screen. The human eye
perceives the image to have more contrast and a sharper picture with brighter colors.
Borders also allow the projected image to "bleed-off" the screen for
professional appearing presentations.
Drop
Drop is also available on most Da-Lite wall/ceiling and electric screens. Drop is extra
fabric added to the top or bottom of the screen to adjust the screen surface to within
normal viewing heights. Drop can be specified in either black or white.
Rear Projection Screens
Da-Lite offers three types of Rear Projection Screens: Diffusion, Profiled and
flexible fabric screens.
Da-Lite's Polacoat Diffusion Screens offer two types of substrates, transparent acrylic
(Da-Plex) or glass (Da-Glas) and choice of six extremely fine, precise optical coatings.
Da-Lite profiled type screens feature a lens on their back surface which is formed by a
series of concentric circular grooves each cut at a different angle. These grooves reduce
the incident angles of light rays from the projector making more light available for
transmission directly to the audience.
Flexible fabric screens are generally used for situations where portability is a prime
concern. It offers high light transmission for optimal viewing.
Note: Custom gain performances are available upon request.
