Projector throw distance

I got an email today asking for help identifying what type of projector a church should purchase. In their email, they said they need a multi-purpose projector that would be used in their church service and as a mobile projector. They also mentioned that the projector would sit 75 feet from the screen in their church service.

Throw distance is probably the detail that most people overlook when researching and purchasing a projector. If you have a projector that’s 5 feet from your screen, the image is going to be very small. As you move the projector backwards, the image size increases. You have to be careful to purchase a projector that will fit your screen based on where the projector is located in your room. But never fear, the good folks at projectorcentral.com are here to save the day! They have included a calculator on their website that allows you to see and adjust the throw distance and the screen size to help you determine which projector and screen is right for you. Check them out...they’re a great resource.
