Projector Screen Size Calculator

Please Note:

Calculations are for reference only. Accuracy is believed to be +/-5%

Enter your throw ratio and your projection distance.

If you know the zoom on the lens you may enter a min. and max for the throw ratio.

Example: The Manufacturer provides only one Throw Ratio at 1.58 but states the zoom to be 1.2.

The min Throw Ratio would be 1.58 and the max throw ration would be 1.58 x 1.2 = 1.896
