Questions

Projector & Screen FAQ.

What is throw ratio?

It is the throw distance divided by image width. A lower ratio gives a bigger image from a shorter distance.

Which aspect ratio is best?

Many home bays use 16:9, while wider rooms may use 16:10 or 4:3 for more vertical room.

Do you supply projectors?

We design the picture and install the projector. We can recommend options for your room and budget.
