How can I mount the projector so that it can be translated horizontally and aligned with the screen? I will be mounting this on the ceiling.
I just purchased the BenQ ht2050a, which apparently has vertical shift only. Almost every ceiling mount that I have seen has rotational adjustment and sometimes vertical adjustment.
I can't find any tutorials or information on how to set the horizontal positioning of the mount. It seems like either the projector or the mount would need a way to translate the lens parallel to the screen, but surprisingly I can't find either that do this. Am I missing something?
My projector screen is already mounted and hung. Next I will need to mound the projector in line with the existing screen. I know that I can set the rough distance by measuring and calculating the center of the screen from the perpendicular walls. How critical is the horizontal placement of the projector? I'm assuming that by the time I drill holes and screw the mount into the support that the position will not be exact.
