Review the result and adjust your projector placement accordingly.

For best results, ensure your projector is placed at the calculated distance and that the screen is positioned at the correct height for your seating arrangement.

Formula Explained

The throw distance (D) for a projector is calculated using the following formula:

D = (S × T) / 2

Where:

D = Throw distance in feet
S = Diagonal screen size in inches
T = Throw ratio (varies by projector model)

The throw ratio is a specific value for each Epson projector model that determines the optimal distance for the best image quality.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the throw distance for a 100-inch screen using an Epson EH-TW8500 projector:

Given:

Screen size (S) = 100 inches
Throw ratio (T) = 1.2 (for EH-TW8500)

Calculation:

D = (100 × 1.2) / 2 = 60 feet

Result: The recommended throw distance is 60 feet.
