With the throw on this projector could I get an 80 inch image when it's ceiling mounted from 11 ft?

For the HD25 to throw an 80" image the lens of the projector has to be minimum of 8ft 9in but can be as far back as 10ft 6in. Since that is from the lens of the projector and the projector mount would be slightly back from that you should be just about right. If you can move it ahead about 3 inches it would perfect. Good luck.

Again, it all depends on how big your screen is. I use mine at about 5ft and get about a 5ft diagonal picture. Remember this is a short throw projector.

Short throw, of course, means you don't have to be far away. I have not tried this in brightly lighted rooms, but it has worked well in moderately (about the level of light at dusk) lit rooms. We have projected this through a muslin cloth screen in a moderately lighted room and the image was decent. I can't really answer the part about short/long throw, but I would image it would depend on the amount of light that would interfere with the "throw" of the projector...so across a longer throw there's more chance for light to interfere?

It will work. The screen will be pretty big at 16 feet so you might have to downsize it for the height of the ceiling. I have mine in about an 8 or 9 foot cwiling and i can adjust the screen to the point where i cant touch the corners with my hands and i am 6' 6" tall. Its a great projector

No, I wished a bigger one was available. My projector can project up to 300 inches, which would take an outdoor movie to a whole other level.

Not sure what you are asking. The projector is attached to the lens. Are you asking the distance from the mount to the lens?

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"

The projector can be used with the image upright (tabletop) or inverted Kceiling mount). It can be ceiling mounted. This is how I have mine set up.

Recommended image size is between 80 and 100 inches however it can project up to 150 inches

I'm not sure, so I just walked outside and measured the approximate distance from where the projector was on Saturday. I would say about 11 - 12 feet. You could probably pull back the projector more but you would need a really big screen and you may loose some of the crisp image quality...maybe I'll make a bigger screen and test it out...

Hi Lawrence. I am not an expert, but I do own the projector you are looking at. I also installed it in our theatre. We hung it at 15' out and the throw is tight. I can't imagine being able to set it up at 8'. But the expert is better to ask. I was able to get through to the BenQ customer service. They were very knowledgeable when I was installing. But it did take several days for them to call back.

I think this screen is like 90" diagonal so you'll want a projector that can project around that number so you don't have a lot of white space when watching something. Most projectors project from like 20"-80" and up so all you have to do is move the projector closer or further away from the screen to get the size you want! But just make sure the projector you buy can reach at least 80" diagonally otherwise the picture won't be as clear on the screen and there will be a lot of extra white space!

Yes, I get about a 4 foot image width with the projector just about 3-4 feet from the screen. I'm using it in 10' x 10' trade show booths.

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!

I have my unit 15 feet away and gives me a 12 foot screen, with a very good picture. This unit is not very forgiving on where you can put, it has to be in the center and just in the right place. I replaced my old bulb projector with this one and had make a lot of changes to my room to make it work right but, now that I have I'm happy with it.

The projector has a throw ratio of .69-.83, meaning for a 100" screen the projector will need to be 69-83 inches away from the screen. I put mine as far back as I could so I wouldn't have to do too much keystone adjustment, since that distorts the image the more you use it.

Picture quality is awesome. However- not sure about your setup, but a short throw doesn't make much sense for an outdoor projector. Also not sure about brightness for outdoors, since there tends to be a lot of light outside that you can't control. Probably safer to look elsewhere.
