My ceiling has a large 10"x10" wood beam in the center. How bad would the distortion of the projection be?

If you are able to put the projector near the center of the room it should be fine. On the side of the room the projection should only be messed up just behind the beams path.

The projection is going to "map" the profile of your ceiling. So you are going to see the projection going on your beam too. Is going to be visible but not dramatically. I have a large fan in the middle of my ceiling (witch is much worst than your beam) so part of the projection is on it. But because the projector can be angled so you can "aim" the portion of the ceiling you want and especially because the projection is rotating and every part of the projection is going to "fly" in front of you at one point, it never bother me.

You could, but it needs to be in the back of the room so it would need to clear your seating. The further away it is the bigger picture you can project. I bought a bracket for under $30 and put it in drywall ceiling with no studs, worked perfectly. Awesome projector!

It has a pretty wide range as far as the vertical pitch but that may distort your picture if your projector doesnt have a decent v shift. My ceiling is only 8 feet high and it works perfect. I would guess no higher than 12 feet to get a good view. The mount is really low profile. I don't know if I was much help haha. Good luck!!

It is not narrow. 6 feet away the beam cone is about 6 feet in diameter I would estimate. Area lighting not spot

that would depend on the how big of a screen you want and what angle you are projecting. I have my projector mounted on the ceiling and projecting a 110" image on my wall. I have rather good definition although the angle form the ceiling mount makes one corner of the projection not as clear as the rest,(there is a lens focus that you adjust for different distances) but from what I have read on every projector this is a very common problem. I would recommend this projector over any other. between it's value and clarity its a great buy for a big screen without the big price. let me know if you have any other questions.

I think it primarily depends on your material. So long as it isn't opaque you should be good. I experimented with a few translucent materials such as plastic sheeting, a backyard awning and a bedsheet and it looked great from the other side. You are always going to lose some brightness but thankfully this projector has a higher lumen count. You might have to customize your settings and bump up the values of brightness and tweak some colors, but you should be good for rear projection.

I mounted mine on the ceiling & w/ the lens shifting it got the picture right. Also the projector overhead made it so nothing interferes w/ the picture, (objects,people,vibrations)

I doubt if you would be happy with this light on a picture that large. The light is only 9 inches long, and not terribly bright, so centering the light on a picture that wide is probably asking too much.

I can't give you the exact specifications but I do know that the beam it projects seems fairly narrow. You'll have to back up a ways to get it up to 10' x 10'. That might effect how bright the image is, so you might be well advised to allow for darkening the room a little bit. The image that I usually project is about 5'x5' from about 5 or 6 yards away. That's because the presentations I make are usually with groups of only 20-30 people.

I have zero vibration coming from my projector as I would expect from any projector of quality, but I can also say it would still take some seriously violent vibration to shake my mount. I could damn near hang from it. If you install it correctly there should be zero movement. Make sure you screw the base into a ceiling truss/stud and not into the drywall...

I did very little adjusting on the high beams... the projectors are not movable. I would try it first before I would do anything to it.

Hello there, in a room that size the beam would only be a little under 2 feet in diameter, ofcourse that would depend on the distance from the target and also the angle with which the beam cascades. You can 'cheat' a little to get a slightly wider beam if you play with how you mount the unit and cascade the beam towards the target, but it would only be a slight improvement in size. Other than mounting it as far back as you can or even mounting it in a bigger room, you're pretty much limited. hope that helps, God Bless.

It is a spot light, you would not be pleased with the narrow beam. However, if you diffuse it with wax paper or something similar, the beam is much softer and wider.

I believe you can get that answer on their website. The further back you place the projector, the wider the expanse. Of course if you go too far back, the lights are dim. It goes up pretty high in my trees.

Probably not. The glossy surface of the screen would make the projection look bad. Kinda like photographing something glossy with a flash.

I believe so.... I am mainly using this for home theater in a dark room, it does well. But some light didn't affect the projection. It's best thing is its life of bulb, less weight and power saving
