Buying Da-Lite Screens: things to consider

There are a few aspects to think about when you are shopping or browsing through our top-of-the-line collection of Da-Lite Screens. First off, is the screen going to be in a room that will be solely devoted to being a screening room or will your home theater be in a multi-functional room? If you have reserved a completely separate space for your home theater to be built, then a permanent screen that is built into a cabinet or hid behind a curtain would be an optimal choice. If you plan to have your home theater serve multiple uses, then you would want to consider Da-Lite Screens that incorporate a projection lift. That way, when you are not watching a movie, the screen is lifted and tucked away out of sight.

In order to decide on how big a screen you should purchase, industry experts say that the rule of thumb for size is that you should measure the distance from the screen to the audience. The height of the screen should at least be 1/3 of that measurement. So, for example, if your seating was nine feet away from the projection screen, you would want your movie screen to be at least three feet high.
