How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size Select your screen size. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled '4:3 Screen Diagonal'. Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled 'Average'. - Page 19 11667 12222 There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics.
