Minimum/Maximum mounting distance from screen? - Blu-ray Forum

GordRocks · 07-21-2009, 09:53 PM

Can anyone tell me where to find the minimum/maximum distance that a projector can be mounted from a screen?

I'm seriously considering a Panasonic PT-AE3000U and would like to know the range that it can be mounted from the screen. But as I'm not totally committed to that projector I would like to know if there is a list somewhere of the ranges of other projectors as well.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Depends on the lens....
and the lumens output

I'm a PT-AE3000 owner - the manual provides pretty accurate guidance on the min/max throw range (p. 14):

You need to know what screen size you wish to use with the particular projector. You can then plug the info into various calculators that are available online to get your available throw distances. You can find one at projectorcentral.com

Or you can check in the manual for the PT-AE3k that was posted.
