Throw distance is the distance measured from your projector to the screen. This calculation 
determines if there is enough room to install your  projector with a desired screen size and if the 
image size will be the accurate size for your  screen. To estimate the throw distance take the 
horizontal width of the screen and multiply it by  the lens throw ratio. The result...
