Positioning your projector
15
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video 
format each factors in the projected image size.
4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9 
(widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to 
the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height 
equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and 
positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of 
the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting 
onto angled surfaces).
If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it 
projects at a slightly downward angle.
You can see from the diagrams on page 
, that this type of projection causes the 
bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of 
the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image.
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size 
increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for 
both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly 
proportional to the projection distance.
BenQ has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining 
the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the 
perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), 
and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen 
(offset).
How to determine the position of the projector for a given 
screen size
1.
Select your screen size.
2.
Refer to the table on page 
 and find the closest match to your screen size in the 
left columns labelled 
Using this value, look across this row to the 
4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 
aspect display area
