The Da-Lite DescenderPro 159" Electric Projection Screen delivers a cinema-grade viewing experience with an elegant, space-saving installation. Engineered for professional environments and home theaters alike, this large-format screen combines a crisp 16:9 aspect ratio, a premium Matte White surface, and a recessed/in-ceiling mount to maximize picture quality while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic. Whether you’re presenting in a conference room, teaching in a classroom, or enjoying a movie night at home, the DescenderPro grounds your visuals in accuracy, clarity, and effortless operation.

• Immersive 159-inch diagonal with 16:9 aspect ratio: This generous diagonal is optimized for HD and 4K content, delivering expansive images that fill the viewing field while preserving the correct cinematic proportions. The 16:9 format is ideal for modern video standards, ensuring you experience true widescreen presentation without letterboxing or distortion.
• Matte White screen surface for accurate colors and wide viewing angles: The surface is designed to minimize glare and preserve color fidelity from virtually any seating position. It supports sharp detail and consistent brightness across the surface, making it suitable for rooms with varying ambient light levels.
• 78" x 139" visible area provides a large, usable picture: With a substantial vertical and horizontal footprint, this surface offers the largest possible displayed area within a compact ceiling footprint. This translates to superior legibility for slide text, graphs, and video content from multiple rows of seating.
• Recessed/In-Ceiling mounting for a clean, professional look: The screen retracts into the ceiling, keeping the visual focus on your presentation rather than hardware. This installation method minimizes sightlines, enhances room aesthetics, and protects the screen from accidental damage in high-traffic spaces.
• Electric DescenderPro mechanism for smooth, reliable operation: The motorized system provides quiet, dependable retraction and extension, reducing setup time between presentations and extending the life of the screen through controlled movement. The automated drop-and-stow action helps keep training rooms and classrooms organized and ready for use.
