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 projectors native aspect...

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. It is 
recommended that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should 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...
