FAQ

How far should a projector be for a 135 inch screen?

A standard-throw projector needs about 11.8–19.6 ft from a 135" screen. Check your projector’s throw ratio — multiply it by the 117.7" screen width to get the exact distance.

Can I use a short-throw projector for a 135" screen?

Yes — a short-throw model sits just 3.9–7.8 ft away, and an ultra-short-throw projector only 1.76–3.43 ft (basically against the wall).

What size room do I need?

For standard throw, allow at least 19.6 ft between the projector and the wall. Tight room? Pick a short- or ultra-short-throw projector.
