How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance

This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room. The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.

1.Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance.

2.Refer to the table on page 15 and find the closest match to your measurement in the average distance from screen column labelled 'Average'. Check that your measured distance is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average distance value.

3.Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen diameter listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance.

4.On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the vertical Offset value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to the

horizontal plane of the projector.

For example, if your measured projection distance was 4.5m (4500mm), the closest match in the Average column is 4682mm. Looking across this row shows that a 3000mm (3m) screen is required. If you can only obtain imperial sized screens, the listed screen sizes on either side of the 3m screen are the 9' and 10' screens.

Checking the min and max projection distance values for the these (9' & 10') sizes, indicates that the 4.5m measured projection distance will fit these screens too. The projector can be adjusted (using the zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes at that projection distance. Be aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values.
