Oddly enough Projector help, from you pro's

[kevowen]

Hi,
I just made my first screw up buying a 4k projector, which was recommended by our AV guy.


I have a cinema room issue (unfortunately its not my cinema).
Firstly which one to buy.
Its a home cinema.
If i add the dimensions would someone be able to help and suggest what is best to buy?
Distance from Projector front to screen is 5m22cm
Screen
L 2.41m
H 1.36m
Diagonal 2.76m
The project fit in a ceiling box on the normal feet (it just slides in.)

AV Feed is via cat to HDMI convertor, to support Apple TV, Sky and Blue ray.
It has a RJ45 (i think it called that) to to do automatic power on and off, which ran from Ipads)

Too much info or?

I bought the view sonic x100 4k but its spread at 5m was about a meter either side of my screen.

Anyone able to help someone sort out their first pheck up in the projector world...

if you go to a website called projector central they have a projector throw calculator. You can put in your screen dimensions and choose different projectors to see the throw ranges they have for that size of screen. That should help you find somthing suitable.
