    Help with planning placement of Benq LK936ST for Golf/HT

    Going to use the lk936st for golf simulator/home theater. Room is 14' wide with 10.5' ceiling. Want to use the 16:10 for golf and 16:9 for theater. I dont want to mess with focus ring so putting screen on wall for HT and then retractable impact screen 18" in front. Then Im going to use sliding mount for projector to move it forward and back the 18". Hopefully I wont have to mess with focus by doing that. I want max image size so the calculator on benq is a little confusing. At max zoom I want 14' wide screen filled. What would be image dimensions in 16:10 mode vs 16:9? The calculator says both will have 94.5" height. I guess that means for 16:10 mode then it will just shrink width? I was hoping I would gain height with 16:10 mode and keep the width. Also curious if I would have to adjust lens height when switching between 16:10 and 16:9 or will the heigh stay the same and width changes?

    If there is one thing I have found setting up a projector it is nothing goes to plan. This is something you will
    just need to experiment with. You chose an excellent projector though. Make sure you have your screens setup and maybe have someone help you hold it up to the ceiling with a ladder and get a rough estimate. You can hold it at different distance and figure out how long you sliding track needs to be.

      Hi op, was looking to use a sliding projector mount to do the same. Were you able to make it work for the LK936ST? Hoping to use a single projector for two different screens if possible.
