FAQ

How far should a projector be for a 150 inch screen?

A standard-throw projector needs about 13.1–21.8 ft from a 150" screen. Check your projector’s throw ratio — multiply it by the 130.7" screen width to get the exact distance.

Can I use a short-throw projector for a 150" screen?

Yes — a short-throw model sits just 4.4–8.7 ft away, and an ultra-short-throw projector only 1.96–3.81 ft (basically against the wall).

What size room do I need?

For standard throw, allow at least 21.8 ft between the projector and the wall. Tight room? Pick a short- or ultra-short-throw projector.
