FAQ
How far should a projector be for a 200 inch screen?
A standard-throw projector needs about 17.4–29.1 ft from a 200" screen. Check your projector’s throw ratio — multiply it by the 174.3" screen width to get the exact distance.
Can I use a short-throw projector for a 200" screen?
Yes — a short-throw model sits just 5.8–11.6 ft away, and an ultra-short-throw projector only 2.61–5.08 ft (basically against the wall).
What size room do I need?
For standard throw, allow at least 29.1 ft between the projector and the wall. Tight room? Pick a short- or ultra-short-throw projector.
