Adjusting the Projected Image
You can adjust the size and focus of the projected image.
Resizing the Projected Image
The size of the projected image depends on the distance of the projector from the screen.
The following table describes the general guidelines for projector distance from the screen.
Screen Size (16:10) Projection Distance (A) Projection Distance (B)
Diagonal (inch) mm Inch mm Inch mm
70 1778 20.4 517 7.2 182
80 2032 23.5 596 10.3 262
87.2 2215 25.8 655 12.6 320
90 2286 26.7 677 13.5 343
100 2540 29.9 759 16.7 424
Projection Distance A(mm) =Screen size (mm) x 0.296. Tolerance is around 3.1%.
For example, Projection Distance (655 mm) = Screen Size (2215 mm) x 0.296.
