Calculation methods for screen dimensions
You can calculate more detailed screen dimensions from the screen diagonal.
16:9 size
2.35:1 size
Screen height (SH)
= SD (m) × 0.490
= SD (m) × 0.392
Screen width (SW)
= SD (m) × 0.872
= SD (m) × 0.920
Minimum distance (LW)
= SD (m) × 1.189 − 0.04
= SD (m) × 1.256 − 0.04
Maximum distance (LT)
= SD (m) × 2.378 − 0.05
= SD (m) × 1.899 − 0.05
NOTE:
You can tilt the projector body less than approximately ±30 ° vertically and ±10 ° horizontally. 
 •
Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s life.
