Which projector do I need for this setup? Trying to find one for Black Friday!

[McTiger05]

I'm trying to find a projector that fits my space and screen size. I'll have a 12' wide x 9' high screen, and running in 4:3 aspect ratio. I will be hitting a little offset about 8.5' away from the screen. I was planning on mounting the projector at 9' height and about 9' away from the screen so it's just behind and above me. I'm having trouble figuring out which projectors will fit these criteria. Any recommendations? Ideally closer to $500-600 range.

I purchased ViewSonic PJD6352LS from Allsportsystems last year. There is an image adjustment feature to get the corners of the picture as close to screen edges as possible. It is about 9 ft from the screen. I believe the price was very good and the projector is working out great. I had originally purchased optoma gt1080 darbee and couldn't get the picture to fill out the screen due to the need to have the lens a certain distance above the top of the screen. Luckily I was able to return that projector.

Hi Mike, wondering how this projector has panned out for you. Still like it? Got a buddy who wants to sell me his for cheap, projectorcentral.com says it’s got everything I need in terms of filling the space just looking for anecdotal advice. Also had the 1080 in mind, happen to remember any significant difference in brightness or picture quality? Thanks in advance

I have the benq th671st. It had a zoom adjustment so it's very simple to adjust and fit the entire screen. I'm using 16:9 93 inches x 132 ish.
it has a focus and zoom adjustment pictured below. I just adjusted the screen size and took pics. Very simple.
