using a 20ft throw, and only 1x zoom, I will get about 100" diagonal. With this, how much ambient light will be too much for this unit?

It's hard for me to quantify "ambient light" amount and my threshold for "too much" might be different from yours, but I suspect you'll be ok. I have about same throw but zoomed a bit to fit my 110" diagonal screen. My room has a south facing window and sliding glass door, both behind the projector (so even further from the screen). During times of bright sunlight the image is washed out enough to "notice" but not so much that it becomes annoying. With curtains pulled it reduces the light enough that any washing out is un-noticeable.

I am amazed how clear and sharp the photos are at a distance of 100' plus during day light hours. At night it's a different story. The subject has to be fairly near to get a good picture. I would guess between 25 to 50 feet.

so far i've looked about 100 yards without a problem. If you are looking directly at the unit and know what you're looking for there is a minimal IR glow that can be dimmed with the touch of a button

I can see almost 100 yards clearly, if there is total darkness. If there are other lights off to the sides it makes it more difficult.

I think it will not be bright enough to enjoy.The Image is not clear if it is projected to more than 6 feet.

Tongfeng Z. A good question. My throw distance is about 20 feet which makes an image 20 feet from corner to corner. I will try 10 feet tonight and let you know. There is a zoom function so I will give you the minimum and maximum.

In my opinion you need a better range of optics. There is very little light gathering ability difference between x40 and x42. I would recommend the 8x40 and 10x50's. I know, the 10x50 are heavier but they also are better in low light. You never know when you are going to see something that is a once-in a lifetime occurence. I think it is worth the weight.

I just set this up w/ a 110" screen @ a throw distance of 10.5 ft. Some pixellation is noticeable at 720p but very minor. It really depends on your source. 1080p looks amazing. The projector is a light cannon and picture is amazing. You won't regret it.

I have found it best at 15 to approx. 40 ft. Up close it seems to blur.But, I am more than pleased with the Moultree D-444.

For a 50" diagonal image, 5.4 feet., according to projetorcentral.com . I get a fairly bright 60" diagonal image in my small den with dim lighting from an adjacent room.

It may at trigger at 100ft. You probably would not see what triggered it very good at that distance in total darkness. It will trigger at that distance the downfall would be the total darkness. Day pictures you would get a good picture. The camera is a very good one.

It depends heavily on how bright you want the effect to be and how far away you are able to place the fixture. In addition, there are two different lenses that allow you to have a wider or narrower field of effect based on your needs. In essence, there is no good way to answer. I can tell you from experience that I have had a usable effect covering an entire wall at the end of a large ballroom using the narrower lense in extremely low light, but to do so I had to place the unit itself at the opposite end of the room.Sorry if this is less than helpful...

I doubt it, the resolution on this monocular is probably inadequate to your needs. In general, night vision resolution is pretty limited after 100 yards.

I believe daylight would be infinite. It is a small aperture lens so anything beyond a hundred yards might be more difficult to make out in brushy conditions. No zoom capacity, fixed aperture. We use ours for security purposes at a cabin site so we are less than a hundred feet but daytime color is very good. Night time at 50 feet is challenging to make out personal identification. Shutter sped is slow though detecting wild game would not as much of a problem. Hope that helps a little.

Its nice to have the extra 20mm for low light applications. Cost is a factor though, depends on what you want to use it for. I think the larger unit is better for a number of different aplications

The distance depends on ambient light. You get 150-200 feet. It's ok. I'd pass and get something else. I've had mine for about a year. It's ok, and good for the price, I wish it were a more focused beam and less flood. All led naturally provide flood aLight sound the beam
