What image size can be projected? |
A: |
The projected image size can be from 30 to 300 inches (measured diagonally) for a 16:9 image. The size is determined by the distance the projector is placed from the screen. Use the following table as a rough guide for projector placement: | 16:9 aspect ratio | | Projection distance | Diagonal image size (width x height) | 2.8 to 6.2 feet 0.87 to 1.88 m | 30 in. (26 x 15 in.) 76.2 cm (66 x 37 cm) | 3.8 to 8.3 feet 1.17 to 2.52 m | 40 in. (35 x 20 in.) 101.6 cm (89 x 50 cm) | 5.8 to 12.5 feet 1.77 to 3.80 m | 60 in.

(87 x 47 in.) 254 cm (220 x 120 cm) | 11.8 to 25.1 feet 3.59 to 7.64 m | 120 in. (106 x 59 in.) 305 cm (270 x 150 cm) | 14.7 to 31.4 feet 4.50 to 9.56 m | 150 in. (130 x 75 in.) 381 cm (330 x 190 cm) | 19.7 to 41.8 feet 6.01 to 12.76 m | 200 in. (179 x 98 in.) 508 cm (440 x 250 cm) | | 4:3 aspect ratio | | Projection distance | Diagonal image size (width x height) | 3.5 to 7.6 feet 1.07 to 2.31 m | 30 in. (24 x 18 in.) 76.2 cm (61 x 46 cm) | 4.7 to 10.1 feet 1.44 to 3.09 m | 40 in. (32 24 in.) 101.6 cm (81 x 61 cm) | 7.1 to 15.3 feet 2.18 to 4.66 m | 60 in.
