Hi, everyone, if I put the projector 7 1/2 feet away from the wall or screen, how big of the picture can I get ? By diagonal please, thank for answer

at 90" from the 'screen' to the front of the projector, it throws an image with 58" diagonal on 'tele' and 80" diagonal on 'wide' zoom setting. this model has a digital zoom, not the physical zoom ring that some models have. hth. -doug

I actually set my projector about 8 feet from the screen that I have to do power point presentations on. I don't think that you will have a problem focusing from a shorter distance.

Hi Lori. I set it up about 8 feet away from the wall and it projected clearly like a 45 - 60 inch tv screen. Clear and bright with lights off.

I think it's considered short throw, but it's not ultra-short.. You can get a 100-inch diagonal from as close as 93 inches away. Sooo, to find the closest the projector can be for any diagonal size, multiply by 0.93. Want a 120 inch diagonal? The closest the W1500 can be is 120*0.93 = 112 inches.. (9 feet 4 inches).

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 distance50 inches 44-53 inches80 inches 71-85 inches100 inches 89-107 inches 150 inches 134-161 inchesSo if you have an 80" screen, you will need to have the project about 6-7 feet from the screen.

It's hard for me to quantify "ambient light" amount and my threshold for "too much" might be different from yours, but I suspect you'll be ok. I have about same throw but zoomed a bit to fit my 110" diagonal screen. My room has a south facing window and sliding glass door, both behind the projector (so even further from the screen). During times of bright sunlight the image is washed out enough to "notice" but not so much that it becomes annoying. With curtains pulled it reduces the light enough that any washing out is un-noticeable.

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"

The answer to this question depends on how close you are to the wall. In other words how large do you want to project? I've found the projector works poorly in well lit areas when more than a couple of feet from the wall. You might want to consider something like this for your solution http://www.amazon.com/AOC-E1649FWU-USB-Powered-Portable-Monitor

According to the manual, the minimum throw distance is 3.9 feet. You might lose some clarity at that distance though. I have mine installed at 12.9 feet, bringing it closer was possible. Best bet is to try it and if it doesn't work, buy a short throw distance projector. Good luck.

Yes, I get about a 4 foot image width with the projector just about 3-4 feet from the screen. I'm using it in 10' x 10' trade show booths.

I have mine set for 10 feet away to project about a 45 inch screen. I bought a pull-down blind at Home depot for $50 that covers 7 feet by 5. Much cheaper than a projection screen.

this is an interesting projector. very large projected images...within 30 inches of a wall or screen. the projector lens is actually convex hence the "short throw" feature. as you move the projector away from the wall or screen, it very quickly becomes extremely large...approximately 8' hign about 6' from the wall

I didn't actually check the extremes so I probably can't give you a great answer. Have you checked out one of these calculators? http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator.cfm....It was helpful for me. I can tell you I'm projecting from around 14 ft and it looks great on a 133" diagonal screen. There's a decent discussion that helped me here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1271155/throw-distance-optoma-hd20Hope that helps!

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... :)

I use the projecter at 3 meters away from the wall , it gave me more than 100 inch , huge projection , becouse its short throw .

About 84 inches diagonal, try to look for the manual online as a PDF it has the distance to screen size ratios. Anyway I got this projector and returned it because the image quality is not that great it is not true 1080p it can play 1080p video but the projector is native 720p. The PF85U is way better, although more expensive 85U is true 1080p with a 16:9 ratio.

The size of the projection is based on the distance from the wall or screen. It is sharp up to 4sq feet from 10 ft away.
