Typical Placement?

[James James]

Just starting to look into adding a projector and proper impact screen but unsure of typical placement.

My room is 3.82m wide (150") and 5m long (197"). Height is slightly problematic at 2.62m (103").

I have been using the room without issue with my outdoor net but want to start projecting an image onto a proper screen.

My outdoor net is currently 1.1m from the rear wall, I hit from a distance of 2.3m to the net; it is white archery baffle.

Intention is to get the Optoma 1080 Darbee.

Short term I was going to try the projector with my outdoor net and see how I find it; this net is 2m square.

Last step planned is to get a proper screen (prob electric ceiling mounted).

Bearing this in mind where would you typically mount the projector? Between the screen/net and myself, directly overhead, or further back?


TIA,

Depends on what you want for a screen size, here is a page you can use to find out what screen size you have at what distance.

Also you might want to check out the Optoma EH412ST it has a few more features than the Optoma GT1080Darbee. I am waiting on delivery of mine, they were not suppose to ship til August 4 2019, but I pre-ordered and they shipped it out early and mine is suppose to be delivered today.
