Optoma GT1080 Darbee quality projector with zoom

[Golfbeat]

I am trying to decide on a projector and really like the Darbee. However, I would like to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 without having to slide the projector backwards and forwards. Can somebody recommend a short throw projector with zoom which would enable switching between 4:3 and 16:9 without having to move the projector? Does it actually exist? Thanks.

Golfbeat can I ask why you would ever use the 4:3 orientation? For example, when you run a golf simulator you'd use a 16:10 orientation and movies 16:9.

That makes sense, I think there are a lot of projectors that scale between 16:9, 16:10 and 4:3. I have the Darbe but always use it as 16:10 or 16:9 on my 14 X 8 screen. I'll check to see how it looks when you switch to 4:3 and if you would need to zoom or not.
