celexon Manual Pull-Down Screen Professional Plus 220 x 165 cm (108" 4:3) for Presentations and Education

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

The Rollo Professional Plus is celexon's high-quality, manually operated pull-down screen with a 220 × 165 cm viewable area (108", 4:3) for classic projectors with a normal throw distance. When needed, simply pull the image down by hand – no power connection required. After use, the projection surface disappears neatly back into the housing, so the room remains fit for everyday use.

Key benefits at a glance

You can get a pull-down screen for very little money – the Professional Plus makes the difference in the details and is designed for frequent use over many years:

• Slow retraction instead of snapping back: The gear-based slow-return mechanism rolls the fabric up in a controlled, quiet manner, protects the fabric and mechanism, and is designed for many roll-down and roll-up cycles.
• More robust, three-layer fabric: The stabilising woven layer makes it hang more calmly and evenly than a single-layer fabric; matte white with gain 1.2 for a bright, neutral image.
• Black back and flush weight bar: for a clean image and a premium look.
• No power connection needed: simply pull down by hand and roll back up.
• Fire-rated fabric: also suitable for commercial and public spaces.

Is this screen the right choice?

• Yes, if you are looking for a high-quality, permanently mounted viewing surface for multi-purpose rooms such as living rooms, offices, meeting, training or club rooms 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.
• 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.
• Not ideal if you need the best possible flatness on very large viewing areas – in that case a tensioned screen tensions the fabric more evenly using a lateral tensioning system. If the viewing area is to remain permanently visible on the wall, a fixed-frame screen is the permanently tensioned solution.

Picture quality: three-layer fabric for an even, 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. It is made up of three layers: a matte white front coating, a stabilising woven layer in the middle and a black back. The integrated woven layer stabilises the fabric and ensures much calmer flatness than simple single-layer pull-down screens.

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-coated back absorbs stray light 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 Plus 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 4 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 3.5–4.5 m in a home cinema with an image width of 220 cm; in a conference or training room, the back row should be no more than about 9.9 m away.
• Mounting: on the wall or ceiling, hung or screwed in place; basic screws and wall plugs for wall mounting are included (check the wall structure beforehand), 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, especially as the smaller formats weigh only a few kilograms.
• 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 Plus: simple and no power needed

The Rollo Professional Plus works entirely without power: simply pull the fabric down by hand to the height you want, and you're done. This is made possible by a high-quality gear-based slow-return mechanism: unlike simple spring mechanisms, the fabric rolls up in a controlled way without snapping back, which protects both material and mechanism in the long term. 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.

Because so little technology is built in, there is hardly anything that can fail, and operation is immediately clear even to inexperienced users – ideal for training, club and meeting rooms used by different people.

Applications

Presentations, conferences & training: a high-quality, permanently mounted viewing surface for meeting, seminar and club rooms that needs no technology or instruction and only appears when it is needed. The screen fabric is certified to fire rating B1 (certificate), so the Professional Plus is also suitable for commercial and public spaces.

Home cinema & living room: a large 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.

Avoid direct sunlight: if the screen hangs directly in front of a sunlit window, the fabric heats up and may warp. So don't place it directly in front of such a window, or shade the window with blinds, a roller blind or curtains while the screen is lowered.

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 Plus

Does the Rollo Professional Plus 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 Plus is operated purely by hand: you pull the fabric down and let it roll back up in a controlled way. 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.

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 Plus 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 an inflatable outdoor screen such as the celexon INF Professional. The pull-down screen is not weatherproof – always bring it back inside after outdoor use.
