Da-Lite, a division of Legrand | AV, is introducing its redesigned HD Progressive screen surface portfolio, tailored to meet the changing demands of the AV industry. By incorporating user feedback and aligning with AV technology advancements and projectors, Da-Lite has developed these new surfaces to address installation requirements better. The updated HD Progressive 1.0 and HD Progressive 1.0 Perf surfaces will be available starting February 1, 2025. This more focused portfolio enables integrators to match the growing popularity of 4K projectors with high-quality screen surfaces.

The HD Progressive 1.0 is a front projection screen that supports resolutions up to 16K. Offered in seamless sizes as large as 16 feet, this surface is recommended for use with laser projectors featuring ultra-short, short, and standard throw lenses. Its bright white finish delivers exceptional image clarity, vibrant color, and uniformity across the screen, making it ideal for everything from conference and training rooms to large-scale venues and edge-blending setups.

The HD Progressive 1.0 Perf is another front projection screen developed for high resolutions up to 4K. This acoustically transparent surface is available in seamless sizes up to 8 feet and is ideal for installations where speakers are placed behind the screen. It works seamlessly with laser projectors and offers a neutral white finish, ensuring vibrant image quality.

"Our new HD Progressive surfaces were designed with the future of AV installs in mind," said Patrick Kittredge, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Da-Lite & Middle Atlantic. "This new screen surface technology carries on the integrity and ingenuity of the Da-Lite brand by comprehensively addressing installer needs for a more streamlined selection." (Legrand | AV, 2025)

Both screen surfaces are GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold certified, meeting rigorous standards for indoor air quality. They are also easy to maintain, washable with mild soap and water, flame-retardant, and mildew-resistant.
