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).

put the projector further from the screen, the further you put it the bigger the object mine at present is at 14 foot from the screen and its 144"

I prefer when I'm by myself to sit about six feet away from my 120 inch screen, so that the spectacle fills my entire field of vision. With the projector properly mounted above there's a steep slope of projection so that a person can get relatively close to the screen without blocking the projection. Since my big screen is in a fairly small room, guests tend to sit about 10 feet back from the screen.

I usually set my projector back about 15-20 feet front or rear. It's a great screen!!!

The projector has a throw ratio of .69-.83, meaning for a 100" screen the projector will need to be 69-83 inches away from the screen. I put mine as far back as I could so I wouldn't have to do too much keystone adjustment, since that distorts the image the more you use it.

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.

I have 120 inch screen and seating is about 15 feet away. It is comfortable but a feet or 2 more would be appropriate.

Distance from projector depends on the projector. Mine projects the full 12' diagonal size from about 25'...

Not even close. Per Optoma's website, this projector has only a 1.2 zoom. If you need to be that far back and display that small of a screen, your choice of projectors gets very small--perhaps nonexistent. I have an older Panasonic with a 2.0 zoom, and I can display 110" from over 17' away. But even my projector would only go down to 120" at 20 feet. You need a bigger screen!

My projector is 11 fr from the screen and my picture size is 80" diagonally... of that helps any....it does have an awesome picture...and great value

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.

Yes it is. And is perfect for that. A 120 inches screen projected in front of you!

I've used the projector within 4 feet of the screen. Adjustment is easy from the menu. In bright room, screen is picking up ambient light, but picture quality is still good - for presentation purposes.

I use a 125in. Stewart screen from 15 to 20 yrs. ago. This was before the screen improvements of today. The light output is so good from this projector that at a distance of 15ft. it is still possible for a good picture in 50% ambienet room light. Like with all front projectors the less light bouncing off the screen the better.

The quick answer is 11 to 13 feet for a 100" wide screen. Here's a link that answers your question for other screen sizes (press the aqua colored "Distance Calculator" button): http://www.visualapex.com/Epson/Projector-Specifications.asp?For-The=Home-Cinema-730HD#specials FYI you can plug in any screen size in the above link and see the corresponding throw distance and recommended seating distance. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, it would work well for this. The projector has to be a fixed distance from the screen which is probably about 4-5 feet to get to 120 inches, but should not be an issue since you are not mounting it. You can determine that with an online calculator. The Lumens are pretty high so should have pretty good visibility at dusk. Only other issue is it is not true HD (1080p) but still looks really good. I use it for my indoor Golf Simulator and it does the trick.

The projector doesn't really matter because they all are adjustable when it comes to the size of the picture they project. The screen you are looking at will accept an 8 foot image. If you are looking to project a bigger image they do make screens that are larger in size.I have this screen and it works great for me. We use it outdoors and can watch a movie from over 50 feet away and no one has a problem seeing the picture.
