Formulas
The Projection Formulas use the image width for calculation. Image height is the same for all aspect ratios, only horizontal image
size varies when using a 16:10 aspect ratio screen. For proper projector placement, determine the image width for a desired screen
size. Use the Screen Formulas below to calculate all screen dimensions. Plug in the image width “W” for a 4:3 aspect ratio image in
the Projection Formulas.
Refer to the diagrams (page 5) and charts below for popular screen sizes 16:9 screens:

Note:
Tilting the front of the projector or down by more than 45° from level could reduce lamp life by up to 20%.
