Want to set this up on a 10 foot high ceiling, with a 120" screen mounted at mid-wall height. Is there distortion in the angle?

There should not be with the keystone correction. The very discerning eye may pick something up with excessive keystone, but with only a 10' high ceiling it shouldn't be too much keystone correction.

Looks like it will work just fine based on the measurements I took of mine. To get a 45 degree angle one end will be 3 feet off the wall. Just something to keep in mind when planning your space.

Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue. You can clearly see the full picture while practically standing next to it....but honestly, who even stands that far to the side watching TV anyway, to me that's a bogus specification. Trust me, this TV has an amazing picture. You would be totally throwing away your money on something more expensive. Something else to keep in mind, you can't always trust the video feeds that big box stores feed their sets. Sometimes that have worse feeds going to certain TV's because they need to meet a sales quota. ALSO, those TVs on the wall at the stores are NOT calibrated for the best viewing. I have my sharp 70" on the Dynamic mode, everything just pops more. Hope that helps.

I just got mine last night... viewing angles aren't as great as LCD's, that's for sure... left and right as well as up and down. I really didn't appreciate just how big this thing was going to be til it came in. I have it up too high and you can notice the difference pretty easily from having your eyes on level with the center of the screen and being above/below that point. I have a chair that is about 45 degrees and you can also notice the picture dim compared to sitting straight in front, but its not too bad. I wouldn't want to sit at much more of an angle than that though. I'd say its got about 90 degrees of solid viewing and then it starts noticeably degrading. You're definitely going to want to sit as close to head-on to this thing as you can get with your eye-level near the center though. I think the up/down viewing angle is worse. Very happy though overall... Kind of shocked what I got for my money. I was looking to get the biggest best TV I could for under $1k and frankly, I ended up with more than I bargained for.

I'm using it at about 10.5 and it filled my 100" screen. It does have some adjustment so there is option. It is my guess it can do at less a 90" from 9 feet and get a adjustable wall mount not ceiling

That would just be a normal top-up configuration like having it on a desk. It will need to be tilted down pretty steeply since the normal forward projection is already "Up" relative to level. That is why upside down ceiling mounts (like mine is) have to be tilted up at a strange angle if the screen is near the ceiling (like mine is too). You may also have trouble with sufficient keystone adjustment with the screen that far 'down' below the projector. But it should work for you. I'll check this next time my projector is on (maybe tonight) and I'll update this answer if I don't think the Keystone will adjust that far down. If I don't add an update, assume it will work fine.

Not really. I would suggest mounting it if you want to do that. The viewing angle is not bad, but not amazing either. If you are going to watch at an angle I would reconsider. Also note that the stand legs are perpendicular to the screen and take up space.

Back of the ceiling is def. an option. We have ours mounted in our theater approximately 25ft from the screen. Crystal clear picture and very easy to point and adjust. Good Luck!

We did not see much problem with off angle viewing on our LN52A630, but we are within 60 degree of the centerline of the TV. I would suggest buying a stand or wall mount that pivots or extends out from the wall. But you have probably already thought of that. The wall mount was quite a challenge to install. First, the bracket has to be centered between two wall studs, which restricts the optimum position of the TV. Second, with the wall mount we bought, it was very hard to work backwards from the desired elevation of the TV to the proper location for the lag bolts holding the bracket on the wall. Third, because of the weight of the bracket and the TV, this is definitely a two-person job.

If you tried doing that, you'd want to make sure the only thing that's upside-down is the pole itself. But I'm not sure how you'd be able to use the monitors so close to the ceiling. The pole itself isn't that long.Logically, there wouldn't be any difference in the stresses or resistance if only the pole is upside-down.Aside from the shortness of the pole, the only other problem would be the difficulty in attaching the pole securely to the ceiling.

My projector is 12' from wall I have it on a appox. 100 " diagonal. To me and my family it look's great!

In my environment the viewing height is too high at about 3' from the ground. Sitting in the couch 12' away I had to look upward at the screen (56" model). Although I did not see any issues with the picture quality it was annoying to look upward. My solution was to place a thick book under the rear of the set, thus tilting the entire unit forward. (be careful not too much). tilting the unit made a big difference in viewing comfort

It would take some adjustment, some actual modification to the hardware. I will tell you this, you will be disappointed in this unit. It does not hold solidly and the TV feels very precarious in the mount. Look for another ceiling mount.

yes, mine looks perfect. At first I thought the lowest setting was still too high, but after a week it seems just right - viewed at 12'

My ceiling is also about 11 feet. I was able to adjust the settings on my projector, and was able to get it to show perfectly. I really think it is dependent on your projector. You may want to put it on top of a ladder, and see if you can adjust the image. Hope this info helps.

I also have a 60 inch flat screen I wouldn't say it will extend completely at 90° but it will be close everybody in the room will be able to view the television

We mounted it using the arm drop extension. It pivots at the part attached to the projector, not at the end attached to the ceiling. The pivot works very well - we have it set regularly to display on our projector screen, but can swivel the projector 90 degrees to display on the side wall (which is just white) for when we want to view from the other end of the room (it is a long basement room). Not a common need - we use it set up specifically for the projector screen the majority of the time, but a nice feature to have.
