How big will the picture be if we put the projector 13 feet away from the wall?

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.

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

It will still look great, just have in mind this is a short throw projector. I have mines about 9ft on a 120" screen and image is awesome.

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 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-hd20Hope that helps!

The only downside for a home install is having enough room. The projector needs to be about 15 ft away (thats my guestimate) from the wall in order to focus properly. But it's a solid projector that is VERY bright. We've had no trouble with ours.

basement will probably be dark so almost any projector will do. the nice thing is the short throw of that projector. But it can also be a bad thing. My projector is actually pretty close to the wall (like 10 feet) because it has such a wide angle of projection to get a 10feet wide image. Very often you won't be able to put it at the other end of the room or you'll endup with part of the image on the side walls.

As with any projected image, the distance of the projector from the surface you're projecting it on to has a huge effect on the size of that image. We have found that the image is most clear and large when the projector is a minimum of 15' feet away from the surface. This is not a good product to be used in a small space.

This projector has a big picture. Mine gives us a 75" screen at 7' away. If the ratio holds, your diagonal screen distance would be 14'. I'm pretty sure Epson has a calculator for this on their website

The size of the projection is based on the distance from the wall or screen. It is sharp up to 4sq feet from 10 ft away.

Nice smooth white wall along with external surround sound speakers.... set the projector at least 18 ft away to beam anywhere from 90 to 115" projection on wall.

It depends entirely upon how far from the wall you want to mount your projector. If you search for projectorcentral dahtcom go to their Projection Calculator Pro and put in the model number PJD5533w. Be sure to change the Aspect Ration to 16:9 You will find that in a room with ambient light, you want to mount the projector a maximum of 14 feet 6 inches from the screen. This will give you a horizontal image of 127 inches. (62"x111"). If you get screen material from Carl's Place (here on Amazon) you can get most material up to 71"x126" for standard shipping rates. It will come rolled in a tube so that there are not creases. I bought the FlexiGray from him because my projector is in the Man Cave/Bar/ Casino where there is ambient light and I wanted enhanced contrast in a room that wasn't pitch black (very happy with the results). This projector will throw a much larger image (check the calculator) The result will be a loss of brightness, and a reduction in image quality. Also, you may find that you will have to settle for using a painted wall as your screen. This projector does not have much of a throw range, so you should calculate your screen size based on where you want to mount the projector, or base your projector location on your desired screen size. Hope this helps.

Sorry we returned this projector and required distance from the wall was one of the determining factors. It needed to be ten feet or less from a screen or wall if there was any light at all in the room. In a dark room it became 15 feet. The machine isn't powerful enough to really be useful in anything but a very small dark environment. Everything was manual adjustment requiring a lot of time just to set the thing up and lots of tinkering to keep it the way you wanted it.

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... :)

It's short I'll guess about 6 feet. But to be honest It's still in it's original package, since I was replacing the projector only.
