My in progress build and projector question.

[Travrav40]

Appreciate all the info here, I have my simulator functional, just need to adjust the projector to fit the screen, not sure how. Running e6 on iPad with Mevo+ any helpful links appreciated.

What adjustments are you hoping to make? I have a similar projector

[Travrav40]

I would like to fill the screen if possible, but a lot of the custom resolutions are windows based which I have a gaming laptop but haven’t spent the $1k on tgc2019 yet as this has been a bit more expensive than anticipated.

You probably need to adjust the position of the projector. Moving it back should enlarge the image for you and then adjust the resolution to what looks best.

[Travrav40]

Thanks for the reply, I figured there was a software option potentially. I followed projectorcentral.com from a position standpoint but must of hosed something up.

Where did you get that screen and mount from?

[Travrav40]

Par2pro.com the instructions ask for more clearance from the ceiling but it rolls up just fine. I had no issues with install or assembly.

Typically in the projector settings you can stretch the image on the screen, zoom in an out to fill the space.

You need to reposition your projector, use projector central but use the height of your screen to determine the mounting position, your projector will be further away than where it is now.
The picture will inevitably become too wide for your screen and will project on the side walls, but you will be able to adjust it by setting a custom resolution either in windows or in NVIDIA control panel...
The main thing here is to set the projector position based on the HEIGHT of your screen

[Travrav40]

Thanks, appreciate the response. I will post pictures after my adjustment. And side / ceiling protection are installed.

Also, the iPad projects at a 4:3 resolution. If that is what your screen is sized for, you will want your projector to be set to its max resolution. At least on my BenQ, setting it to 4:3 will further reduce the iPad image size.

[Travrav40]

Thanks, I will adjust that as well. Appreciate the input and happy 4th all!
