Projector Throw & Screen Size Calculator

Work out the image size a projector gives at a distance from its throw ratio, or the distance for a screen width.

From the projector datasheet (distance divided by image width).

Results

Image width: 3.00 m

Image height: 1.69 m

Image diagonal: 136 in

Distance for a 2.5 m wide image: 3.75 m

Zoom lenses have a throw-ratio range -- run the numbers at both ends of it.

How it works

Image width is the throw distance divided by the throw ratio; the height follows from the aspect ratio and the diagonal from both. The distance for a given screen width is that width x the throw ratio.
