Obtaining a preferred projected image size The projected image size is determined by the distance from the projector lens to the screen, and the video format. The data in the table below is based on a normal projection method and not the result of adjusting the projection angle (1-15 degrees). Projection dimensions Use the illustration and tables below to help you determine the projection distance.
