I'm interested in the 1830. Can it project a floor-to-ceiling image onto an 8' wall, or do I need a higher model number?

Yes depends upon your image on a transparency how clearly defined it is. And what you place it upon off the ground or floor.

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.
1422312
Yep. From that distance you will need all the reach you can get and the difference for closeuo (8 vs 10) is not significant. Dray6850

The projector can be used with the image upright (tabletop) or inverted Kceiling mount). It can be ceiling mounted. This is how I have mine set up.

This will depend on several factors, projector distance from Screen, will your seats/viewers block any of the projection, hight of ceiling - I have projected from 60 inches to 200 inches in some tests. I am now constructing a home theater area using a wall painted white at ~110" wide and ~62" tall (16x9 ratio or 126" diag). Check the specs but I believe this projector can go over 20 feet wide (try this on the side of you house). This projector is both bright and can project larger than I oringinally imagined. Good luck with what ever you end up with.

Both printers have a rear single sheet feed for thin fine art media according to your reference which has a fairly straight paper path. I can't find any support in that reference for canvas printing - for thin posterboard, (1 to 1.3 mm thick - just over 1/20th" thick) you can use the front feed on the 2400 but media that thick is not supported on the 1800. The reference is a good one, thanks.

Should work perfectly. I use this in my home cinema which would not be the size of a pub venue but I have used it externally and put it on a 130 inch display. Same results as my normal 92 inch display. The only issue you may encounter is if the room is too bright - the image is good but you may want to go with the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020 2D and 3D 1080p Home Theater Projector. It is a lot more expensive option but the image is going to be a lot better in brighter environments like a pub. (As amazon.com as a money back guarantee, maybe try the cheaper projector first to see if it works in your environment) Should work perfectly.

Hi Lawrence. I am not an expert, but I do own the projector you are looking at. I also installed it in our theatre. We hung it at 15' out and the throw is tight. I can't imagine being able to set it up at 8'. But the expert is better to ask. I was able to get through to the BenQ customer service. They were very knowledgeable when I was installing. But it did take several days for them to call back.

I think it would work well if you have a place to put it a straight shot to the screen. I have it 22 feet from the screen and it projects a 210" projection. I think it doesn't do too well with a lot of lighting. You can always try it and return it to Amazon if you're not satisfied. I'm very satisfied with it myself.

I used the "QualGear PRB-717-WHT Universal Ceiling Mount Projector Accessory" for the projector I purchased (BenQ HT-series HT1075 1080P 2,200 ANSI Lumen 3D Full HD Home Theater Projector). It was not 100% intuitive, but had plenty of adjustability and mounting hardware - I would recommend this mount, much better than the previous mount I had. BTW - very happy with the projector - My son uses this mostly for gaming.

I am completing my HT set-up too; only the Receiver and TV are left to buy; my Room is 12 x 12 feet; I was told 54 inch would be too much, so I narrowed it to Panasonic 50V10 vs Samsung 50B860. I want to hang it in the wall and the Samsung is sleemer and nice looking and the hook-ups in the back are sideways (so the cables don't stick out), but I get worried about this "buzzing" mentioned in some posts; apparently some people sent it back and the replacements had the same problem; would hate to go through that; I leave in FL (sea level); wanted to buy it before Christmas and getting a headache out of it.

I have a 60" Samsung led 8000 series and it worked fine. Just make sure you mount it securely because the mount is heavy. Probably I would email or call the manufacturer.

Can I use this by itself instead of an overhead projector? If it takes pix, then how does it project it to screen?

I mounted mine on the ceiling & w/ the lens shifting it got the picture right. Also the projector overhead made it so nothing interferes w/ the picture, (objects,people,vibrations)

Whoops I forgot 1 thing. The newer Epson 85HD is a nice projector, it has a 3000:1 Contrast Ration (the MM72 only has 1000:1) and the 85HD has 2500 Lumens, compared to the MM72 1200, BUT the 85HD has zero vertical or horizontal Lens Shift. Meaning that it has to be placed pretty much right in front and at the right height of the screen. This may be a non issue with some, but for me it was the deciding factor in my getting the MM72 over the newer 85HD. Also, the 85HD only has 2 built in speakers, where the MM72 has 4! Just somethings to consider when looking at these.

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.

This model is for wall-mount only. You would likely be looking for something more like the AZ668i (http://www.amazon.com/AKDY-Style-Az668i-Stainless-Island/dp/B0032N3L58/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371569367&sr=8-2&keywords=AZ-668i).
