We use this projector in our church and get about 10' at about 15' from the screen. We have several short throw projectors from Infocus IN3619 I think that project a10' screen at about 5'. It is about twice the price. Many projector manufacturers build short through projectors you just need to check out their website.

My projector is about 10 feet away from the screen and the largest I can get it is about 8 feet wide.

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.

According to this link http://www.projectorcentral.com/BenQ-SH910-projection-calculator.htm for a 10' wide screen projection range is between 14 & 21 feet.

from my experience you need 15 to 20 feet for that wide of spread. I project 15' by 10' at 20' out from the screen

Sorr, but it does not work unless yu have a true widescreen tv. it will only be partially filling up your screen. regardless of how you set it up, it will not display full screen video unless you have a true widescreen tv.

The projector at 10 ft would throw a very large display probably 110" the problem these projectors have with text is that they use a diamond pixel instead of a square pixel so the edges of text can be fuzzy. If you are using this in a presentation or business environment it will not be bright enough with any light of any magnitude. An open window will wash out colors and contrast. Go with the ml500 (same diamond pixel problem but brighter) or choose a laser / led hybrid with a different dlp chip. I'm not saying this isn't a good projector for its purpose (portability) but if text is your first consideration and portability comes in at a five or six in the list then this isn't the right one for you.

I use this projector on a 100" screen and it works well. But for 16' wide you will need better res. I also of have a Epson 3010e on a 200" screen and it's leaps and bounds a better.

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.

We are using our EX6220 on a 10ftX10ft screen and it holds the focus fine with a 4X3 aspect setting. Haven't tried anything bigger. We have also used the projector on a 16X9 aspect setting on same screen and the focus was fine for us. No problems so far.Dennis

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.

I currently pretty much fill a 10' diagonal 16x9 screen in a room that size with the projector hanging from the ceiling. I used it temporarily from a level about 3' off floor but screen often got blocked whenever anybody moved.

It has a pretty wide range as far as the vertical pitch but that may distort your picture if your projector doesnt have a decent v shift. My ceiling is only 8 feet high and it works perfect. I would guess no higher than 12 feet to get a good view. The mount is really low profile. I don't know if I was much help haha. Good luck!!

I don't think it would work as a regular projector. I just tried the projection option and to get a real clear picture you have to be fairly close to wall which in turn makes the picture you are projecting small. It wouldn't project a big enough picture for a presentation.

It is too wide for your wall. The cross pole though comes in small sections and I suppose you could leave one out and trim the screen down. Even at 10 feet wide though I found that it was a little to narrow. Bottom line is that you may be able to make it work but it is not designed that way. Additionally you may find that 8 foot is not enough to record. in. Start by setting up your area as you would like to have it. Now set your camera up were it would go. Now imagine the huge lights...Is there enough room for the camera to focus in on you without also filming the lights or edges of the wall. Good luck It is too wide for your wall.

Picture quality is awesome. However- not sure about your setup, but a short throw doesn't make much sense for an outdoor projector. Also not sure about brightness for outdoors, since there tends to be a lot of light outside that you can't control. Probably safer to look elsewhere.

It definitely depends on the throw of the projector, for example my Benq W1500 is rated as a 1.07 to 1.71 zoom throw, So I multiply 144"(screen size) x 1.07 and then again x 1.71 and I know that I need to set this projector between 154"(12'-10") and 246" (20'-6") away from the screen.

I am using this in a custom built machine to run the displays at a church. I am running 2 large venue projectors (split with an HDMI dist. amp), a 70" foldback monitor, and 2 24" monitors. It works very well and have had no issues with the mini DP to HDMI adapters.

I would say yes under two conditions. First, the mural you are projecting will probably have to fit on no more than a standard piece of 8.5x11 paper. When I use this for instruction in math, I typically can count on having the full page (portrait style) being captured by the camera--but no more. Secondly, your projector needs to have an appropriate focal length for this to work as well. Hope that helps.

The following throw distances are for a 120" screen in the the projector's native 16:9 aspect ratio. These are the closest and farthest distances (wide and tele) of the lens' zoom capability for this screen size. * Be aware of the pros and cons (mainly overall brightness and sharpness) of using the extreme ends of the zoom range. 141.3" to 300.8" (total inches) or 11.775' to 25.066' (total feet) or 11' and 9.3" to 25' and .792" (total feet with inch increments) or 359cm to 764cm (total centimeters) The projector also has a very wide range for lens shift (changing the height of image and offsetting either left or right. *The image quality will be best the closer these control are to center. Using lens shift alters where the light is being projected in relation to the center of the lens. The more these controls are used, the farther off center the light will exit from the center of the lens where it is best focused. It is capable of: 1 Horizontal height 47% 2 Vertical height 96% This translates to moving the picture up or down (off center) by 97% of the image height in either direction and left to right (off center) by 47% of the image width. Because theses adjustment are based on moving a rectangular image through a circular lens you cannot use the extreme ends of both vertical and horizontal adjustment. The adjustments directly affect each other. This means for a screen size of 120" (which will have a length of 104.4" and a height of 59.4") the projector has the ability to move the image 57.618" above/below or 49.068" left/right off center (from its original position). This is a very versatile range. Imagine (3) 120" screens mounted atop one another, utilizing the lens shift its just a hair short of being able to display on any one of those screens by adjusting the dial (without moving the projector).

It depends in how much space you have and if you use a regular projector you might get get in the way of the image and see your shadow on the screen..it could work but depends on your situation...shot throw can be mounted closer to the screen so you don't get in the way of the image
