Can you set the projector to 2.35:1 aspect ratio so it will fill my screen when watching movies?

The short answer is no. In order to fill 2.35:1, you would need to use the (limited) zoom feature, then focus until it's where you want it. However, it will still display in 16:9, so the top and bottom of the projection would still be outside your screen. Secondarily, some of your on screen controls may be outside of your 2.35:1 screen. Hope this makes sense!

Some movies it is the only way. However you can go into your TV menu under TV aspect ratio and change to 4x3 mode, zoom 1, theater mode, even widescreen. Each time you choose one of these formats you will pay a price for the aberration that it will cause to your viewing screen. Should you watch BEN HUR on Blue Ray the picture is so small it's uncomfortable to watch. Most DVD'S will tell you on the back what format it is in. You can find all the formats on the web [somewhere] and their ratio relative to your TV. Enjoy

yes you do need to go into setting and change a few things including the sound output and mirror image to work . also note that if you want to watch a movie on your tv from your computer library in full screen mode you have to adjust that as well.

16x9 is your aspect ratio. Which ever projector you have will tell you what it's native aspect ratio is and that is what that manufacture has it set for the optimal performance. 1080P is based on the projectors output capabilities and the 200 is from corner to corner diagonally.

At 8' feet with the lens adjusted as large as it will go this projector throws a W:67.5" x H:38.5" at 1920 x 1080 resolution for me. I'm not sure what aspect ratio your screen is, but this will leave you with considerable white space at 8' throw on a 10' wide screen. Also, this projector is fairly bulky and the fan is noticeably loud. Though it does a great job of exhausting hot air, this may be a negative if you or your potential customers are stuck standing by it. It does work well when the circumstances favor it, however I would suggest you consider more alternatives given the provided scenario. Take a look at the following link, particularly "Example 2": http://www.theprojectorpros.com/learn-s-learn-p-theater_throw_ratios.htm

I'm not sure, but all my movies are widescreen. it'll have the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

You can change the image size by moving the projector closer or further from the screen (or white wall). I can fill up a portable widescreen screen easily. The resolution is good too. I deal in detail so it's important to keep the detail more than the size.

Here are some settings I found that might help you out: Main Picture Menu: - Picture Mode: Movie (set this before any of the rest!!) - Backlight: 10-20 (based on preference and ambient light in room, you can change this at the end to your liking) - Contrast: 100 - Brightness: 52 - Sharpness: 60 - Color: 51 - Tint: G50/R50 (center) - Picture Size: Screen Fit (otherwise you could very well lose some pixels) Advanced Settings: - Dynamic Contrast: Off - Black Tone: off - Flesh Tone: -5 - RGB Only Mode: Off - Color Space: Custom --- Red: 61, 0, 0 --- Green: 0, 50, 0 --- Blue: 0, 8, 54 --- Yelow: 89, 77, 0 --- Cyan: 0, 50, 50 --- Magenta: 53, 0, 50 - White Balanace: --- R-Offset: 23 --- G-Offset: 18 --- B-Offset: 22 --- R-Gain: 22 --- G-Gain: 31 --- B-Gain: 26 - Gamma: +1 - 10p White Balance: Off (trust me, not worth it!! Unless you have a professional calibration tool) Picture options: - Color Tone: Warm2 - Digital Clean View: Auto - MPEG Noice Filter: Off (removes details from many scenes) - HDMI Black Level: Low - Auto Motion Plus: Standard - Cinema Black: Medium

You have to flip the projector up side down. If it doesn't line up after trying it a few different ways then you got the wrong mount. (it took me a minute to figure it out)

The projector base is 5x5 so no you cannot project a larger image at one time.

It is hard and disappointing, this is biggest flaw of this projector. The way I improved this problem was through the menu of the DVD/Blueray, experimenting with the setting of brightness and contrast, display resolution. I tried every combination with the projector menu with no success.

No. I'm using it now with no replace anything. Resolution is low ,320*240, but I can enjoy movies with this projector.

Actually why would someone have an expensive wide screen and watch it at 4:3 is beyond me. It becomes very hard to see and it is like your TV has shrunk. Most recent flat screens will widen it without too much distortion.
