Da-Lite IDEA Series Screen - Dry Erase Projection Screen - Interactive Display - 94in Screen

Transform classrooms and conference rooms into interactive learning environments with the Da-Lite IDEA Series Screen. This 94-inch diagonal projection surface doubles as a magnetic whiteboard, offering a seamless blend of digital projection and hands-on writing. The IDEA Screen delivers a projection-quality image while serving as a reusable, erasable workspace—ideal for brainstorming sessions, real-time collaboration, and dynamic presentations. Engineered for compatibility with interactive displays and ultra-short throw projectors, it provides a hotspot-free writing surface that keeps your content sharp and your ideas flowing from screen to board.

• Interactive projection surface with magnetic dry-erase capability: The IDEA Series combines a high-quality projection screen with a durable magnetic whiteboard. Write with standard dry-erase markers, erase cleanly, and reuse the same space for countless sessions. The writable surface is designed to stay ghost-free under projection, ensuring your annotations remain legible even during fast-paced, multi-user interactions.
• Touch-friendly versatility for shared spaces: Use the screen as a touch-enabled interactive display in classrooms, training rooms, or boardrooms. The surface supports touch input when paired with compatible interactive projectors or software, enabling on-screen annotation, collaborative marking, and real-time feedback without clutter or wasted time switching between devices.
• Premium projection quality with short-throw efficiency: Optimized for ultra-short throw projectors, the IDEA Screen minimizes keystone issues and glare while delivering a bright, clear image. Its 0.4:1 throw compatibility helps maximize room clearance and reduce shadows, making it ideal for intimate spaces where participants gather close to the screen.
• Sturdy, adaptable installation for diverse environments: Designed for easy wall- or ceiling-mounted installation, the 94" IDEA Screen suits classrooms, training facilities, and corporate spaces. The robust frame and surface materials resist daily wear, while a clean, professional finish suits any interior design. A flexible mounting system simplifies placement even in rooms with limited mounting depth.
• Durable, user-friendly maintenance and long-term value: The combination of a high-contrast projection surface and magnetic writeable layer reduces setup time and maintenance. Surface cleaning is simple with standard dry-erase cleaners, and the screen’s durable construction stands up to heavy use, ensuring reliable performance throughout its lifetime while preserving image quality and writing clarity.

how to install Da-Lite IDEA Series Screen

• Unpack and inspect components, ensuring all mounting hardware is present and undamaged. Verify the screen size and model match your installation plan (94" diagonal, IDEA Series).
• Determine mounting location and measure to ensure proper clearance for the screen, projector, and any user seating. Confirm wall or ceiling mounting surfaces are capable of supporting the weight and load of the screen.

• Hang the screen assembly onto the brackets, securing it tightly with the included hardware. Double-check that security fasteners are tightened and the screen is firmly mounted with no movement.
• Connect power and signal cables for the projector and any interactive devices. Calibrate the projector alignment to ensure a square, edge-to-edge image on the screen. If using interactive features, configure the compatible software or hardware per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Perform a test run covering projection quality, writing capability, and touch interaction. Clean the surface if needed, and ensure markers erase cleanly without ghosting. Train users on proper marker use and cleaning procedures to maximize longevity.
