Determining the optimal distance between your Projector and wall or screen, or known as the throw distance, depends on the type of projector you have and the desired image size with a specific ratio. For example, with a throw ratio of 1.5:1, you would position the projector at a distance that is 1.5 times the width of the screen away from the wall. 

Short throw projectors are designed to be placed close to the screen, ideal for smaller rooms where minimising distance is crucial. Standard throw projectors have moderate throw ratio, usually 1.0 to 2.0, creating clear and sharp image. Long throw projectors with a throw ratio greater than 2.0 require greater distance between the projector and the screen to project a large image, suitable for larger rooms or venues. 

Remember to have the right HDMI cables as this can impact the quality of the image shown from your projector. Here's a tip, start by measuring your room, then refer to the projectors specifications to determine the correct positioning. If you're unsure, our friendly experts can help you calculate the positioning and the perfect throw distance for your home theatre setup.
