The screen snaps on to the holders and not slide on. I have a recessed space for my screen as well. You should have no problems.

The screen has a rib around the perimeter of the material and is stretched onto the frame.

The frame is about 2 inches thick all the way around. It hangs up just like a picture frame. I recommend the cinewhite screen. The power gain and cinegrey have hot spots in the picture. Great product overall. Looks really nice and preforms well.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light. -Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement. -Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out. -Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.

What is 4K resolutions? yes, it does HD and 3D. It is Awesome. Feels like the movie is coming right at you. Better than the theater. I have it on a 12 x 10 foot wall, painted with extreme flat white paint and the projector is about 25 feet back., maybe a little more. We have textured walls, but it doesn't affect the picture at all. No pixelation is seen, edges are crisp. We just love it, but it was expensive. We did not mount it, it's just sitting on a shelf at ceiling height.

I have the 100" airbright 3d it works decent I have a great viewing angle. Every time someone comes over to watch the game or movies they all love it. I do have some sort of image imperfection on the screen. Its only noticable on a white screen projected. I did send back one screen because of it and it was the same type of imperfection on the new screen. The problem is you won't see it until the screen is fully put together. I said forget it the second time around it was not that major to have to restrech another screen..overall I would give this screen a 7.5 out of 10. Its the best you will find for the money.

Stephen,We uncover lots of pipes on the wall and there was no way to install Toto in the wall (no room), so we give up and return it back. We went with plan B. It is good to have many options/plans when you renovate a bathroom because you never know what might get uncover while tear down walls or check the older pipes.Kind regards,

This model did connect from the front. The main frame attatched to the wall and the brackets once attatched to the tv just dropped on to the frame. As far as a recessed space, you need to be able to access the rear of the tv once it's on to secure it safely... so keep it in mind. It really is a low profile mount so watch your space!

I have not got around to installing my 10x10 frame as of yet ( this happens when your honey-do list grows daily) so I went and arranged the framesto configure for a 10x6 setup. Within just a few minutes I had the desired 10x6 as the frame members slide within each other allowing you to eitherextend or shorten for the desired footage. Just be careful of the sharp edges! Hope this helps and good luck with your flooring

I think it really depends on how close to the wall/screen you are mounting the projector. Mine is 16 feet from the front of the projector to the wall and easily covers every bit of my 10' 8" (diagonal) screen with excellent resolution. So from 12 feet you should be able to project a very large quality image.

I'm on 110 in screen which is frankly to big for the room, but you free like your watching IMAX or 3D of every show because stuff is so big. I most likly should have done 8ft screen max. My room is only 18 long so I have the projector on the ceiling at 17ft and the screen on the other side. My main seating are is 12 ft from the screen making my 110 in seem like 20ft instead of 10ft plus

Ok Eileen, this question doesn't give me enough information, so I did some experiments. If I place the screen 17" away from the front of the projector it can be focused to a sharp picture. At that distance I played the DVD movie "The Croods" and the widescreen picture was approximately 13.25" in diameter or just over 12" wide. Then I moved the screen out about 25" away from the front of the projector until the widescreen picture was 17" wide and then focused it and it was a sharp picture. I then changed movies and played the Blue Ray movie "Ice Age" and it projected the same size picture, but it was slightly sharper. Hope this helps you... :)

There are two things to look at one is the cooling of the projector. A recessed install may not give enough air circulation. The second and probably most important is the screen height. This unit does not offer any offset so technically the top of the lens needs to be at the top height of the screen. You can use the keystone feature to work around this a bit but it will give a bit of warp to your picture.

Mine is surface mounted and extends from the wall not quite 4.75 inches. For recess mount, the recess portion measures 4.0 inches.

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.

That depends on how you hang it. I have the 100 inch 16:9 screen and installed it using chains and eyelets. It is 8-12 inches from the back wall. That would be plenty of space for picture frames.

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.

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.

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