Can i get some ideas of throw distances and related screen size(width is sufficient) people are using?

I've used this outdoors (at night) on a 20' diagonal screen. Distance between the projector and the screen is about 20-25ft or so. Didn't measure exactly. Works wonderfully on my setup.

As long as you have a decent throwing distance. Probably need about 20 to 30 feet to throw. Also nice to have something behind Bounce for errant throws. Enjoy!

8.8 inches is the diagonal measurement of the screen. Reception is very good but details are very hard to see because thee screen is small. This unit is not for viewing sporting events but it is suitable for security and movie viewing. It is not for people with aging eyes.

Screen width is 29.5". The width probably includes amazing built in suround sound speakers.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

The largest I've done so far is 8 X 11, standard paper size. Should handle anything up to the size of the screen, I'd think.

I am able to go between an 83 to 99" image at about 11' throw distance. Measurements are +/- 1" as I did them alone with a tape measure. Good luck!

It's about this size: http://www.torpac.com/images/torpac4.gif (on a 1024x768 screen, 72dpi) if your looking for actual size viewing

Hello Travis. Well I can tell you that I have mine at 12'. The screen size is about 80" wide and the quality is very good. It's almost like a large flatscreen.

go to the viewsonic webpage and click on projector calculator. I used an Elite fixed screen dimensions of 71" x 41" and the throw distance was 10' 4"

My screen size is 126 inches and the projector is 15ft away. The picture looks awesome!

I don't game on my wide monitor, but looking at the manual, I would think the best setting is "high." It does say that the screen might stick at times on high, so if that happens, you could try medium instead.

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.

Hey TJL, it is. It's not the biggest screen out there, but it is perfect for small conference rooms (less than 40 people), and should do well for a birthday party. I bought it to do small-scale housing market presentations and its served me well. Not too heavy to tote around, and relatively easy to set up.

How did you measure? Usually the size listed is diagonal across the corners of the screen.

I use a large image size albeit at a shorter throw distance. At 50' Some quick calculations tell me that the minimum 16:9 aspect projection will be ~319" diagonal (~8,100mm) or ~278" (~7060mm) by ~156.4" (~3970mm).This is ok, if the room is fairly dark during projection although this is entirely subjective.I believe it is also important to check if the vertical shift is acceptable to you as the image will be about 54" (~1360mm) above the normal plane of the projector (or below if ceiling mounted).All aside, page 18 of the freely downloadable manual will likely be more helpful than any subjective explanations.

I think this screen is like 90" diagonal so you'll want a projector that can project around that number so you don't have a lot of white space when watching something. Most projectors project from like 20"-80" and up so all you have to do is move the projector closer or further away from the screen to get the size you want! But just make sure the projector you buy can reach at least 80" diagonally otherwise the picture won't be as clear on the screen and there will be a lot of extra white space!
