For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the average projection distance is 5040 mm and with a vertical offset of 274 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 5.0 m (5000 mm), the closest match in the "Projection distance (mm)" column is 5040 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 120'' (about 3.0 m) screen is required.
