Any idea how far away the projector would need to be for the image to fill a 4'x6' screen? I'm trying to build my outdoor theater.

I'm not sure. I think the screen I project onto is about that size but the image doesn't FILL the screen. But I've just tried projecting slides, etc., from my laptop for a class; I haven't tried projecting movies yet.

It's a projector, you can move it up closer or further back to get whatever size you want. you can do a few inches to a few hundred inches. I've had mine at 330" and it looked okay ( not overly bright) but 92" or 115" wouldn't be a problem at all.

put the projector further from the screen, the further you put it the bigger the object mine at present is at 14 foot from the screen and its 144"

This projector has a big picture. Mine gives us a 75" screen at 7' away. If the ratio holds, your diagonal screen distance would be 14'. I'm pretty sure Epson has a calculator for this on their website

My screen size is 126 inches and the projector is 15ft away. The picture looks awesome!

That sounds about right. Mine is 16' away for a 100" diagonal screen. If you need something shorter I'd strongly suggest a short throw projector.

It varies based on distance, but it is quite large. We have the projector about 8-10 feet from the wall (we project directly onto white wall), and the image is very large. The manual has the following information: Screen/image size Projection distance 50 inches 44-53 inches 80 inches 71-85 inches 100 inches 89-107 inches 150 inches 134-161 inches So if you have an 80" screen, you will need to have the project about 6-7 feet from the screen.

the projector is tiny and light it actualy fits in the palm of of you hand.I have mine 6ft away from the screen and it gives off a picture size of about 32" and does not need to be in dark rooms. I have not tried it further away but i would say that it would work fine as the spec says to give up to a 100" screen which would be about 18ft.

At 8' feet with the lens adjusted as large as it will go this projector throws a W:67.5" x H:38.5" at 1920 x 1080 resolution for me. I'm not sure what aspect ratio your screen is, but this will leave you with considerable white space at 8' throw on a 10' wide screen. Also, this projector is fairly bulky and the fan is noticeably loud. Though it does a great job of exhausting hot air, this may be a negative if you or your potential customers are stuck standing by it. It does work well when the circumstances favor it, however I would suggest you consider more alternatives given the provided scenario. Take a look at the following link, particularly "Example 2": http://www.theprojectorpros.com/learn-s-learn-p-theater_throw_ratios.htm

Yes, it will fill a 100 inch screen at about 12 feet in distance from the projector.

The image can be as large as you want, but it gets dimmer as it gets larger as with any projector. You can use this calculator to get an idea of the distance-to-screen vs image-size ratio http://www.projectorcentral.com/InFocus-IN116-projection-calculator-pro.htm

I am working from memory, but we got a sixty inch screen from no more than five feet away. It may depend on your projector and its ability to widen the image. But, for the cost, this screen has proven to be highly effective for our needs in a rather tight space. Hope that helps.

That is dependent on how far the projector is from the surface it is projected onto.

Couple of questions.1. Is your projector a short throw or long?2. What is your desired screen size?

Currently our projector is approx. 14.5 feet away from our screen, which is 125" and it fills it up completely. There is no pixelation and the screen resolution is incredible. We couldn't be happier with the BenQ.

I believe with the 3500 lumens you could push a 50' screen and it would still look sharp. I do a 40' screen with a 2000 lumens projector and it looks great, but it has to be dark. I am not an expert, but I have been doing outside movies for the neighborhood for over 10 years for fun.
