Projector needed to fill my 10 ft x 10 ft screen

Need help finding a projector for my 10x10 screen .thank you

Hi, you won't be able to completely full a 10x10, but you wouldn't be too far off when running a 4x3 ratio. What would be more helpful is knowing how far back you would want the projector, will it be ceiling mounted? Will it be directly central to the screen? This would allow suggestions based on whether you need short throw, a standard lense, horizontal keystone etc. Also, what would be your budget?

First thank you for your reply. I do have a Epson 705hd projector. I have a large room it's 10ft wide 10ft tall and 24 ft long . I hung it on the ceiling with the zoom it fills the side to side great. But the vertical is about 29 inches short of the hole vertical part. Hope this information helps you to help me . Thanks again for your time . Also need a good lap top to run the optishot . I was looking at the asus rog with the 950m graphics card . I would like it to look as good as I can make to show off to my friends lol

First off, I don't have optishot, but from what I've read on here, it's not very demanding on GPU, so I would say any half decent setup should work fine.

Regarding your screen being filled, unless you do some major horizontal scaling, you can't fill a square box with a rectangular shape. Your projector is native 4x3, so in order to get that to fill 10ftx multiple by 2.5... leaving you at 10ft x 7ft 6"

wanted to jump in on this quandary... I have 19.5 feet to my screen (with 1.5 feet behind) 9.5 ceiling, projecting to a 8x10.5 screen. I assume 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio.

The project central calculator makes me concerned because good regular throw projectors need 22ft and the ST ones 8-10feet, which puts the ST projector between the ball and the screen. and I have kids who can undercut a teed ball at a higher launch angle than my lob wedge!!

other issue: its recommended on these forums to get as fast as a PC as possible for the higher end processing speeds and nVidia graphic cards, aprox $1500. Which is fine. But then you have to wonder if the projector will be good enough to show that great graphics! So one looks at the input lag #s for projectors described as great for "gamers"....

so i am lost in this rabbit hole of options and maximizing the various variables of video quality which relies on computer and projector...

Thanks for any insight or recommendations...
