Find the right location - HD Video Projector Wall

Find the right location - HD Video Projector Wall The first step is figuring out where you're going to put the thing. You'll need enough space for the projection itself -- either a screen (recommended) or a patch of blank wall (as close to white as possible). The bigger that space, the better. Projectors can deliver images as small as 40 or 50 inches and as large as 300, measured diagonally. Keep in mind that larger images will be dimmer and, depending on the projector, may start to expose the individual pixels (aka "screen door effect"), especially if you sit close to the screen. Bigger images also require you to move the projector further back. And unless you mount the projector on the ceiling, you won't be able to sit in the path of the beam, so consider the seating arrangement.  Most projector companies offer screen size calculators on their websites, letting you figure out how far back you can place the specific model you...

Set up the screen (optional) - HD Video Projector Wall

Set up the screen (optional) - HD Video Projector Wall If you have a screen, the next step is getting that set up. And we highly recommend a screen.

Before you permanently mount anything, do a trial run with the projector and the screen to make sure you've got your sizes and distances correct. https://www.cnet.com/

Get the right height - HD Video Projector Wall

Get the right height - HD Video Projector Wall For this how-to, we're assuming you're using the most common projection orientation: a table mount from the front. The concept is similar for ceiling mounts, however. If you don't get the height correct, the image will be trapezoid-shaped. That might not be a huge deal for you, but if you're trying to perfectly match the edges of a screen, it can be frustrating or impossible. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET Most projectors have an "upwards throw." What this means is the image is projected above the center of the lens. How much higher varies depending on the model. This is good for placement on a coffee table, or mounting on a ceiling, as the image will be close to the center of the wall or screen, even though the projector itself is closer to the floor or ceiling.  However, this means that placing a projector on a stand behind you is a cha...
