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.
If you need a 4:3 screen to project a 4:3 picture and your measured projection distance is 
3000 mm, please refer to Table A1
 on page  14. The closest match in the  Distance from 
screen (mm) column is 2933 mm. Looking across this  row shows that a 80 (about 2.0 m) 
screen is required.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. 
BenQ recommends that if you intend to perm

physically test the projection size and distance  using the actual projector in situ before you 
permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projectors optical characteristics. 
This will help you determine the exact mounti ng position so that it best suits your 
installation location.
