Ceiling mount projector options for SIG10 enclosure

[flyer139]

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a garage setup using a SIG10 enclosure and wish to ceiling mount the projector above what will be shared space parking a pickup when not in use. That being said, the projector will need to have a comfortable clearance above the vehicle which complicates the installation as far as vertical offset is concerned. From what I can deduce from the enclosure specs of the SIG10, the top of the screen will be ~ 4.5 inches from the top of the frame which extends out 5’. That creates a very narrow mounting window so as not to create a shadow from the top of the frame onto the top of the screen.

Has anyone here run into issues with this? I’m trying to find a projector combination of native offset and lens shift that will solve the problem without using a bunch of keystone correction. I have a few options in mind (Optoma ZU606TST-W, BenQ LU935ST & ViewSonic LS921WU) but not 100% sure they will work. As this is my first foray into projectors I’d appreciate any expertise and experience that the group could share!

I've set up a home theater three different times in my houses, and I learned that if you mount the projector to where the center of the lens is level with the top of the screen, you shouldn't have any issues. Go to the menu settings of the projector and select "ceiling mount". Also, make sure that you set the projector far enough back to cover the height of the screen. Then, use a custom resolution from a PC to ensure that it fills the entire screen. Most people suggest covering the width of the screen, but it's not entirely accurate if you have space above and below the picture. It's not as immersive when viewed that way. This post is old so I'm not sure if this is going to help as you probably already set this up.
