How close to the screen can the projector be run? What would the image size be at typical presentation distances?

I have mine set for 10 feet away to project about a 45 inch screen. I bought a pull-down blind at Home depot for $50 that covers 7 feet by 5. Much cheaper than a projection screen.

I wouldn't run it any closer than 5 to 6 feet. Closer than that the screen is too small and might not have the best clarity. I have mine at about 11' and in 16:9 I have a 78" "screen".

That sounds about right. Mine is 16' away for a 100" diagonal screen. If you need something shorter I'd strongly suggest a short throw projector.

It can be any size. It depends on the distance between the projector and the screen or the wall. I tried on a screen up to 100 inches (4mx4m)

I didn't actually check the extremes so I probably can't give you a great answer. Have you checked out one of these calculators? http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator.cfm....It was helpful for me. I can tell you I'm projecting from around 14 ft and it looks great on a 133" diagonal screen. There's a decent discussion that helped me here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1271155/throw-distance-optoma-hd20 Hope that helps!

go to the viewsonic webpage and click on projector calculator. I used an Elite fixed screen dimensions of 71" x 41" and the throw distance was 10' 4"

this is an interesting projector. very large projected images...within 30 inches of a wall or screen. the projector lens is actually convex hence the "short throw" feature. as you move the projector away from the wall or screen, it very quickly becomes extremely large...approximately 8' hign about 6' from the wall

86" diagonal at a 16:9 aspect ratio. You can go to projectorcentral.com and there is a calculator for almost all projectors allowing you to know the screen size vs. throw distance and recommended seating distance away from the screen.

Sorry, I didn't keep it long enough to try that. All I know for certain is: it will project a GREAT photo up to a 24" X 30" display size. Nothing larger without blur & pixelation.

I've had it 20 feet away from screen, image was great. Haven't tried it further because I speak with laptop and projector up front with me. Hope this helps.

I am working from memory, but we got a sixty inch screen from no more than five feet away. It may depend on your projector and its ability to widen the image. But, for the cost, this screen has proven to be highly effective for our needs in a rather tight space. Hope that helps.

I have the projector suspended from the ceiling got a large classroom (30'x20'). It is 12' from the screen and projects a picture approx. 8' wide. There are lights on in the room and this projector's picture is clearly visible from all areas of the room.

Ok Eileen, this question doesn't give me enough information, so I did some experiments. If I place the screen 17" away from the front of the projector it can be focused to a sharp picture. At that distance I played the DVD movie "The Croods" and the widescreen picture was approximately 13.25" in diameter or just over 12" wide. Then I moved the screen out about 25" away from the front of the projector until the widescreen picture was 17" wide and then focused it and it was a sharp picture. I then changed movies and played the Blue Ray movie "Ice Age" and it projected the same size picture, but it was slightly sharper. Hope this helps you... :)

We use this projector in our church and get about 10' at about 15' from the screen. We have several short throw projectors from Infocus IN3619 I think that project a10' screen at about 5'. It is about twice the price. Many projector manufacturers build short through projectors you just need to check out their website.

About 84 inches diagonal, try to look for the manual online as a PDF it has the distance to screen size ratios. Anyway I got this projector and returned it because the image quality is not that great it is not true 1080p it can play 1080p video but the projector is native 720p. The PF85U is way better, although more expensive 85U is true 1080p with a 16:9 ratio.

I didn't check myself but I mounted my projector 14 feet away as well (I think that was a recommended distance) and It played amazing hd quality on my 100 inch screen and its bright! I would love to know how much distance you can get outside. It'll save me from testing it out on the side of my neighbors house.

Distance from projector depends on the projector. Mine projects the full 12' diagonal size from about 25'...

Not sure what you are asking. But my screen is 150" and blue ray and HD are fantastic. Fantastic projector. Worth the money!!!
