celexon Manual Pull-Down Screen Professional 280 x 210 cm (138" 4:3) for Presentations and Education

celexon Manual Pull-Down Screen Professional: the high-quality pull-down screen for multi-purpose rooms

The Rollo Professional is celexon's quality manual pull-down screen with a 280 × 210 cm viewable area (138", 4:3) for conventional projectors with a standard throw distance. Whenever you need it, simply pull the screen down by hand – no power connection required. After use, it rolls back up and disappears into the sturdy, powder-coated housing, so the room stays fit for everyday use.

Key benefits at a glance

What makes this screen stand out:

• Matte white fabric with gain 1.2: bright, colour-accurate reproduction for a clear, neutral image.
• Sturdy, powder-coated housing: a hard-wearing surface instead of simply painted profiles.
• Designed for frequent use over many years: noticeably better built than typical entry-level pull-down screens.
• Black, opaque back and black borders all round: no light shining through from behind, higher perceived image contrast.
• No power connection needed: simply pull down by hand and roll back up, lockable at several positions for different image formats.
• Wall and ceiling mounting: hung or screwed in place, mounting hardware included.

Is this screen the right choice?

• Yes, if you are looking for a quality, permanently mounted viewing surface for a living room, office, meeting, training or club room that disappears back into its housing after use.
• Yes, if you deliberately want to do without electrical installation: simply pull down, project and roll back up, with no power or remote control at all – if you still want motorised operation without fixed wiring, there are battery-powered screens.
• A deliberate choice if your projector outputs 4:3 or you specifically want this image shape; with a pure 16:9 projector, a white strip would otherwise remain unused at the top and bottom.
• One step up: if you want controlled, quiet retraction (slow return), a three-layer fabric or the 16:10 format, the celexon Rollo Professional Plus is the right choice.
• Want more convenience? If the screen is mounted high up or somewhere hard to reach, or you'd rather control it at the touch of a button, a motorised screen is the right choice.
• Not ideal if you use a laser TV or ultra short throw projector; for these you need a laser TV/CLR screen.

Picture quality: matte white fabric for a bright, neutral image

The matte white fabric with gain 1.2 reproduces colours neutrally and, with a sufficiently bright projector, delivers a clear image for Full HD and 4K content. Gain 1.2 gives a slightly brighter image than a neutral gain 1.0 fabric.

If you are looking for even smoother flatness with frequent professional use, the Rollo Professional Plus offers a three-layer fabric with additional stabilisation.

Projector light and ambient light always compete on the screen surface: ambient light brightens the dark parts of the image and weakens contrast. How punchy the image looks therefore depends mainly on the brightness of your projector and how well the room is darkened; a matte white fabric cannot actively suppress ambient light. Where there is a lot of ambient light, ambient light rejecting screens (ALR) get more out of the image and deliver deeper black levels.

The black, opaque back prevents show-through from behind and keeps the picture clean. The black masking border all the way round frames the image and increases perceived contrast.

“My wall is already white, so why do I need a screen?” Wall texture, small irregularities and slightly tinted wall paint cost sharpness and colour accuracy, however – a projection fabric, by contrast, provides an even, precisely white and smooth surface on which a projector can display its image cleanly.

Will the Rollo Professional fit your room? Dimensions and planning

Important before you buy: a screen needs more space than just the image width. The key details at a glance:

With this 4:3 format the black top drop is minimal (around 5 cm), so you can position the image height flexibly. Although the fabric can be locked in several positions, we recommend always pulling it out fully, because the fabric's own weight then tensions it best.

The key points for planning:

• Seating distance: around 4–5.5 m in a home cinema with an image width of 270 cm; in a conference or training room, the back row should be no more than about 12.2 m away.
• Mounting: on the wall or ceiling, hung or screwed in place; suitable mounting hardware is included (designed for solid masonry walls; for other surfaces you may need your own hardware), installation by two people recommended.
• Semi-portable: if it is hung up rather than screwed in place, it can be taken down and rehung elsewhere; practical when moving house or for temporary installations.
• Wall not clear? The celexon wall spacer for the Professional series creates up to 50 cm of distance, for example in front of a shelf, windowsill, whiteboard or TV.
• Tip: Mark out the dimensions on the wall with masking tape beforehand – you'll see straight away whether the image size, image height and housing are right.

Operating the Rollo Professional: simple and no power needed

The Rollo Professional works entirely without power: pull the fabric down by hand using the handle on the weighted bottom bar to the height you want and let it click into place. Thanks to the multi-stage locking, you can stop the screen not only at full size but also at intermediate heights – handy if you use different aspect ratios depending on the content.

To roll it up, give the fabric a short tug and guide it upwards in a smooth movement. Important: don't let it shoot up unguided – guide it with your hand so the spring roller mechanism runs smoothly and is protected. If you want particularly controlled, quiet retraction without snapping back, the Rollo Professional Plus offers a gear-based slow-return mechanism.

Applications

Presentations, conferences & training: a quality, permanently mounted viewing surface for meeting, seminar and club rooms that needs no technology or instruction and only appears when it is needed.

Home cinema & living room: a large, neutral image for film and series nights that rolls back up after use and doesn't permanently dominate your living space.

Format tip: If film and home cinema are your main focus, a 16:9 screen is usually the better choice – the black masking neatly frames the widescreen image and makes it more immersive. The 4:3 format is the right choice if you use a projector with the same format, mainly show presentation, training or document content, or want to use the image height flexibly.

How to keep your pull-down screen looking good for a long time

After use, the screen disappears back into the housing, protecting the fabric from dust and sun. For lasting smooth operation, fully extend and retract it once at regular intervals and do not install it in a permanently warm environment; the PVC surface is sensitive to temperature. Clean only with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, never with alcohol or cleaning agents.

A frequent wish: hanging the opaque screen directly in front of a window. In direct sunlight, the fabric heats up there and may warp – so don't place it directly in front of a sunlit window, or shade the window while the screen is lowered.

Used frequently? If you roll the screen down and up every day, the more robust three-layer fabric of the Rollo Professional Plus is designed for a longer service life – together with the slow-return mechanism, which protects fabric and mechanism every time it retracts.

Professional or Professional Plus?

Both are manually operated celexon pull-down screens with matte white fabric (gain 1.2) and no power connection; the Professional Plus steps things up further in mechanism, fabric and formats. The links take you straight to the matching size.

In short: the Rollo Professional is the quality choice with a sturdy, powder-coated housing and gain 1.2 fabric; the Professional Plus goes one step further with the slow-return mechanism, the three-layer fabric and the additional 16:10 format.

Have you thought of everything?

• Matching projector: business projectors or home cinema projectors
• Prefer the touch of a button? If electric operation is an option, a motorised screen extends and retracts the image by remote control.
• Create distance from the wall: the celexon wall spacer for the Professional series, if the wall is obstructed by a shelf, windowsill or TV.
• Different size or version? You will find all versions of this series in the overview of celexon manual pull-down screens and the complete screen range under celexon screens.

Frequently asked questions about the celexon Rollo Professional

Does the Rollo Professional work with a laser TV or ultra short throw projector?
No. This matte white pull-down screen is designed for conventional projectors with a normal throw distance. Laser TVs (ultra short throw projectors), on the other hand, project from below at a very steep angle; for these you need special laser TV or CLR screens with a matching microstructure.

Does the screen need a power connection?
No. The Rollo Professional is operated purely by hand: you pull the fabric down and roll it back up. So no power socket is needed where it is mounted. If you would rather control the screen by remote, a motorised screen is the right choice.

What's the difference between the Professional and the Professional Plus?
Both are manual pull-down screens with matte white fabric (gain 1.2) and a sturdy, powder-coated housing. The Rollo Professional Plus goes one better: a slow-return mechanism for controlled, quiet retraction, a three-layer fabric with additional stabilisation, plus the 16:10 format and larger viewing areas. For most classic installations, the Professional is already the right choice.

Can the screen stay extended permanently?
Occasional extended use is fine. If the surface is to remain permanently visible, a fixed-frame screen is the right solution; if better flatness for large formats matters, a tensioned screen.

Can I mount the screen on the ceiling?
Yes, wall and ceiling mounting are both possible. Depending on the size, you hang the screen from the supplied fixing points or screw it firmly in place – to suit the surface and the flexibility you want.

Can I use the Rollo Professional on the move or in the garden?
To a limited extent. If it is hung up rather than screwed in place, it can be taken down and rehung elsewhere – practical for changing rooms or temporary set-ups, for example at trade fairs or training sessions. However, it remains a screen for fixed indoor mounting: for frequent, portable use a portable screen is the better choice, and for the garden or outdoor events a weatherproof, inflatable outdoor screen such as the celexon INF Professional. The pull-down screen is not weatherproof – always bring it back inside after outdoor use.
