A: |
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, ideally at a height where its lens is between the top and bottom of the screen.  For a 4:3 image, the projector can be from 3.5 to 38.4 feet (1.06 to 11.70 m) from the screen. For a 16:9 image, the projector can be from 2.8 to 31.4 feet (0.87 to 9.57 m) from the screen.Use the following table as a rough guide for projector placement: | 16:9 aspect ratio | | 4:3 aspect ratio | | Projection distance | Maximum diagonal image size | | Projection distance | Maximum diagonal image size | | 2.8 to 6.2 feet | 30 in. (26 × 15 in.) | | 3.5 to 7.6 feet | 30 in. (24 × 18 in.) | | 3.8 to 8.3 feet | 40 in. (35 × 20 in.) | | 4.7 to 10.1 feet | 40 in. (32 × 24 in.) | | 5.8 to 12.5 feet | 60 in. (51 × 28 in.) | | 7.1 to 15.3 feet | 60 in. (47 × 35 in.) | | 7.8 to 16.7 feet | 80 in. (71 × 39 in.) | | 9.6 to 20.4 feet | 80 in. (63 × 47 in.) | | 9.8 to 20.8 feet | 100 in. (87 × 47 in.) | | 12 to 25.5 feet | 100 in. (79 × 59 in.) | | 11.8 to 25.1 feet | 120 in. (106 × 59 in.) | | 14.4 to 30.7 feet | 120 in. (94 × 71 in.) | | 14.8 to 31.3 feet | 150 in. (130 × 75 in.) | | 18.1 to 38.4 feet | 150 in. (118 × 91 in.) |
