how far should projector be from screen

 Projector distance is dependent on the size of your screen, as well as the size of your room. For example, a projector screen will be closer to the wall if it’s a smaller screen closer to one’s face. Is it too close?

Probably not, but for those who want a better angle view from their seat might need to adjust some things accordingly.

 The best way to maximize your viewing experience is by following these basic guidelines: If you have a small projector and small screen, move them as close together as possible without touching.

*For home theater setups with 180-inch screens and projectors measuring 120-inches high by 90-inches wide, place them four feet from each other

.Projectors are sometimes placed on lecterns or podiums to project an image upwards onto a screen. When the projector is also used for presentations, it may be placed on the floor stage-right with the audience seated stage-left.

A very common use of projectors is in classrooms, where they are used to show students where they need to work on their assignments. Projection screens are often incorporated into interactive whiteboards,

 which combine aspects of both whiteboard and traditional projector technologies.The distance your projector should be from the screen depends on a number of variables. You can’t just say that it should be one foot away or two feet away; this will need to depend on the size of the screen and how much space you have.

1. Find out what size your projected image will be (and thus what size you would like your end result to be). For example, if you have a projector capable of projecting a 1080p image, but want a 4K image at the end, you'll need to take into account that 1080p is only 2 megapixels and 4K is 8 megapixels so there will not be sufficient pixels in either height or width.

Projectors come in a wide range of sizes and resolutions, but when it comes down to the basics, just how far does a projector need to be from your screen? How far away you place your projector affects its brightness and sharpness. While the optimum distance varies by size and type of project, in general:Smaller projectors will require less space than larger projectors.

Place your projector perpendicular to your screen; don't tilt it up or down.The width of the image projected onto the screen is half the height of the image projected onto a surface (e.g., if you want an 80-inch (200-cm) wide image on a 100-inch (250-cm) tall surface). The optimal distance for projection is usually between one and two times the size of the projected image. If you are projecting onto a screen that is 10 feet high, your projector should be somewhere between 10 to 20 feet away from the screen.If you're unsure, it's best to err on the side of caution and give it some extra space. One last thing: Remember that if your projector isn't in focus, then this distance will change accordin
