FAQ

How far should a projector be for a 165 inch screen?

A standard-throw projector needs about 14.4–24 ft from a 165" screen. Check your projector’s throw ratio — multiply it by the 143.8" screen width to get the exact distance.

Can I use a short-throw projector for a 165" screen?

Yes — a short-throw model sits just 4.8–9.6 ft away, and an ultra-short-throw projector only 2.16–4.19 ft (basically against the wall).

What size room do I need?

For standard throw, allow at least 24 ft between the projector and the wall. Tight room? Pick a short- or ultra-short-throw projector.
