FAQ
How far should a projector be for a 60 inch screen?
A standard-throw projector needs about 5.2–8.7 ft from a 60" screen. Check your projector’s throw ratio — multiply it by the 52.3" screen width to get the exact distance.
Can I use a short-throw projector for a 60" screen?
Yes — a short-throw model sits just 1.7–3.5 ft away, and an ultra-short-throw projector only 0.78–1.53 ft (basically against the wall).
What size room do I need?
For standard throw, allow at least 8.7 ft between the projector and the wall. Tight room? Pick a short- or ultra-short-throw projector.
