Well, like most questions, the answer is "it depends". I used this free calculator to make sure this projector would work with the screen I already have given the smaller dimensions of my living room. http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator-pro.cfm Projector data for most models is available. For this one, just select InFocus and IN116 from the drop down menu and go from there. You'll be able to calculate the distance you need to setup to achieve a given screen size and also the recommended seating distance range for that size. Your room/seating arrangement may be the limiting factor.

This will depend on several factors, projector distance from Screen, will your seats/viewers block any of the projection, hight of ceiling - I have projected from 60 inches to 200 inches in some tests. I am now constructing a home theater area using a wall painted white at ~110" wide and ~62" tall (16x9 ratio or 126" diag). Check the specs but I believe this projector can go over 20 feet wide (try this on the side of you house). This projector is both bright and can project larger than I oringinally imagined. Good luck with what ever you end up with.

I use a 125in. Stewart screen from 15 to 20 yrs. ago. This was before the screen improvements of today. The light output is so good from this projector that at a distance of 15ft. it is still possible for a good picture in 50% ambienet room light. Like with all front projectors the less light bouncing off the screen the better.

Page 2 of http://www1.viewsonic.com/assets/149/27847.pdf shows projection distances and image sizes, I am using it at a 7' 10" projection distance to get 72" W = 41" H = 83" diag

I have mine set for 10 feet away to project about a 45 inch screen. I bought a pull-down blind at Home depot for $50 that covers 7 feet by 5. Much cheaper than a projection screen.

I have a 135 inch screen and it worked fine. I would however have liked .5 adjustment instead of 1. I very much recommend this unit.

That depends on how big of a screen you want. Look at the lense for the throw info

If it's important to you that the image spans the entire impact screen, then maybe you need one. I use a regular projector and in my opinion it doesn't take away from the experience at all.

I would recommend reviewing the specs on your projector and consider the environment you will be using the screen (i.e. Indoors, low light, room dimensions, lighting type etc). That should help you determine the best screen match for your equipment.

The size of the projection is based on the distance from the wall or screen. It is sharp up to 4sq feet from 10 ft away.

Our projectors throw about 14 feet onto a 5' x 7' screen. There is a handy calculator at http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator.cfm

Viewsonics website has a distance calculator that will helo you match the projector to the screen size you have. .

The largest screen I have projected on is a 10' x 20' white tarp hung on a baseball backstop for an outside movie night. Projected in HD 1080p. Image looked great. A 12' x 21' screen with the projector set back 37' in a dark room will still look good. Check out this site for detailed info on screen size.http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-EH500-projection-calculator-pro.htm

I can't say for sure, but I would think that any projector could be used to display on this screen. It is rectangular in shape- might be the only problem if your projector displays in square format.

There are a lot of factors that go into answering this including size of the projected image, ambient light, whether you're doing front projection or rear projection and the surface upon which you are projecting the image. I use mine primarily in front projection mode on a 132 inch diagonal Camp Chef screen outdoors. The image looks every bit as good as my high-definition flatscreen television in the living room.

I think it depends on your projector. I was surprised that I needed to be fairly close, maybe 5 to 6ft. I'm very happy with the screen, it's big, but easy setup and breakdown. Hope this helps. :)

Check out this link here:http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-HD25e-projection-calculator-pro.htmIt helps you calculate throw distance and size depending on how far the projector is from the screen.The Optoma is an excellent projector and great value for money but, compared to some other projectors, is a little more inflexible in placement and sizing options.I have a 106" screen projected from about 13' back. Looks great, no complaints.

Recommended image size is between 80 and 100 inches however it can project up to 150 inches

The width of a projection is measured diagonally not horizontally. The projection site is 134" frameless... so count a few inches less if you plan on framing it
