The Elite Screens VMAX Tab-Tension 3 delivers a premium projection experience with a combination of smart engineering, durable construction, and a pristine image surface. Designed for spaces from modern home theaters to collaborative classrooms and business environments, this 120" electric projection screen blends convenience with professional performance. The centerpiece is CineWhite® ISF matte white flexible material that provides accurate color rendering, wide viewing angles, and a uniform brightness across the screen. Paired with the innovative tab-tension system, it pulls the surface taut from every edge, eliminating waviness and ensuring a perfectly flat projection surface that remains pristine whether you’re delivering a cinematic movie night or a data-rich presentation. Electric operation makes setup and usage effortless, allowing you to deploy the screen at the touch of a button, even in rooms with high ambient light and varying projector placements.

• Premium projection surface: CineWhite® ISF matte white material offers excellent color accuracy, high contrast, and a wide viewing angle. The surface is engineered to minimize hotspots and provide a uniform image from any seating position, ensuring consistent picture quality in both darkened home theaters and well-lit conference spaces.
• Tab-Tension 3 technology: The tab-tension system pulls and tightens the screen fabric on all four sides. This design combats surface waves and edge curl, producing a perfectly flat, warp-free image. It’s ideal for ultra-short, short-throw, and standard-throw projectors, delivering a professional, cinema-like finish every time.
• Electric motorized operation: A reliable motorized mechanism raises and lowers the screen smoothly and quietly via remote control. The quiet motor lets you watch films or give presentations without mechanical distractions, and the compact housing keeps the installation neat and unobtrusive in your space.
• Versatile installation and compatibility: Suitable for ceiling or wall-mounted applications, the VMAX Tab-Tension 3 adapts to a variety of room geometries and projector placements. Its large 120" diagonal size provides an immersive viewing experience for most home theaters while remaining practical for classrooms and meeting rooms.

how to install Elite Screens VMAX Tab-Tension 3

Preparing for installation starts with choosing the right mounting location. Ensure you have a solid ceiling or wall surface capable of supporting the screen’s weight, and confirm your projector’s throw distance aligns with the 120" diagonal for the intended seating arrangement. You’ll typically mount the screen housing to the ceiling or wall using the included hardware and ensure the screen sits plumb and level for optimal image projection.

Step 1: Measure and mark mounting points. Use a level to ensure the wall or ceiling brackets will hold the screen squarely. Mark the locations for the mounting screws, taking into account any ceiling beams or studs if mounting overhead.

Step 2: Attach the mounting brackets. Secure the brackets to the chosen surface using the provided anchors or hardware appropriate for the wall structure. Double-check that the brackets are level and aligned with one another to avoid tilt in the screen housing.

Step 3: Mount the screen housing. Lift the screen unit into place and slide or bolt it onto the prepared brackets. Ensure the housing is firmly attached and that the screen can lower smoothly without obstruction.

Step 4: Route power and test. Connect the screen to a suitable power source and use the remote control to test the lowering and retracting motion. Listen for smooth operation and verify the fabric unfolds evenly as it lowers. If you notice any misalignment, adjust the mounting screws slightly until the screen sits perfectly flat.

Step 5: Calibrate throw alignment and seating. With your projector installed and the room arranged, fine-tune focus, keystone correction, and screen position to achieve the sharpest image. In bright rooms, consider ambient light control or screen gain adjustments to optimize contrast and brightness.

Maintenance tips: Keep the projection surface clean by gently brushing away dust with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or solvents that could affect the surface finish. Periodically inspect the mounting hardware and motor housing to ensure all fasteners remain tight and that the screen retracts smoothly after use. The VMAX Tab-Tension 3 is designed for long-term reliability, but routine checks keep performance at its peak.

Frequently asked questions
