FAQ

How far should a projector be for a 220 inch screen?

A standard-throw projector needs about 19.2–32 ft from a 220" screen. Check your projector’s throw ratio — multiply it by the 191.8" screen width to get the exact distance.

Can I use a short-throw projector for a 220" screen?

Yes — a short-throw model sits just 6.4–12.8 ft away, and an ultra-short-throw projector only 2.88–5.59 ft (basically against the wall).

What size room do I need?

For standard throw, allow at least 32 ft between the projector and the wall. Tight room? Pick a short- or ultra-short-throw projector.
