I've been trying to find a projector for my specific room characteristics, and am still coming up with nothing. So, I'm reaching out to the community for some help. If projectorcentral.com had a way to search for vertical offset, this might have been slightly easier
Let me start off with some "limitations" in this garage space as it's a goofy layout. 2.5 car garage, two separate single-car garage doors about 4 feet apart . I'll have the existing garage door opener and chain removed and a wall-mount unit (Liftmaster) installed. I can also shorten the tracks an additional 18". Unfortunately the tracks must stay as Calgary doesn't have anyone who knows about (or carries) slide-to-side or side-hinged garage doors. The tracks are hanging about 6" away from the ceiling. Hitting towards the garage door seems the easiest, as there are fluorescent lights and a furnace to deal with, if facing the opposite way. Note: this side of the garage will still need to be used for two motorcycles, so it can't be set up permanently
Ceiling height: 107"
Proposed image height (from floor): 96"
Image Width: 120" (could be as wide as 144", but would have to hit offset from centre)
Distance from ball to screen: 8' - 9' (protects from hitting above screen?)
Bottom of projector to floor: > 98" (set above hitting area, positive vertical offset required)
So, without casting shadows, and having the projector mounted to the ceiling. what options do I have?
