Do you have to have a certain size projector for this? I'm looking for a gift for my brother who has a projector but I know nothing about either.

The projectors that I researched will project an image from 20"-300" . The closer the projector is to the screen, the smaller the image. The 115" diagonal screen is a great size. I've set up the screen in the back yard several times for movie nights. You can hang the screen on a fence or from the low eave of the house. I like the screen but you will need to use the anchors (that are provided) on all 4 corners. Let me know if you have any other questions.

We purchased this with a regular projector that hooks up to our laptop. We used regular computer speakers and it worked out great!

We purchased the Epson VS230 projector. I would recommend highly. Most projectors can be adjusted to fit this screen. You either just have to move it forward or back, but any projector purchased in the last couple of years have an adjustment button to get it to fill the screen! Good Luck!

This is a great screen. I use it strictly for outdoors due to it capabilities to do rear projection. It also can do front projection. What kind of projector does he have? LCD OR DLP? Lumens dictate the brightness of the projector. The brighter the better i say... but regardless of the projector it is a good screen for indoor and outdoor. I believe this same company makes a square one now that looks really good... lwt mw know if you have any other questions

The projector doesn't really matter because they all are adjustable when it comes to the size of the picture they project. The screen you are looking at will accept an 8 foot image. If you are looking to project a bigger image they do make screens that are larger in size.I have this screen and it works great for me. We use it outdoors and can watch a movie from over 50 feet away and no one has a problem seeing the picture.

You can use it in or out side. also you can project from behind you just need to adjust the setting on the projector so it beams the image flipped if you are agin project from the rear. it truly enhances the quality of the image since it's a silver screen. As in the fall it starts to get darker out earlier, it will be nice to have a movie night or watch a game outside.

I think this screen is like 90" diagonal so you'll want a projector that can project around that number so you don't have a lot of white space when watching something. Most projectors project from like 20"-80" and up so all you have to do is move the projector closer or further away from the screen to get the size you want! But just make sure the projector you buy can reach at least 80" diagonally otherwise the picture won't be as clear on the screen and there will be a lot of extra white space!

Yes. I use the same exact set up. Just remember that it's a short throw projector and will need to be about 5ft (give or take) away from the screen.

You do need a projector. I already had one that my school provided, but I don't know what brand it is.

You don't neede a projector you dcan connect to a big screen tv via an rgb connector, same cable you use to connext a desktop to a monitor. If you pan to use it for presenttions then you would want a projector viewsonic makes good ones, look for the hights lumins and be aware that the bulbs for these projectors are around $200

I would call their tech support. I bought this projector and LOVE IT. I called them with the screen size and the distance and they told me exactly where to place it and how far down it had to hang.

the projector works great! However you will need to hook it up to another sound Device for everyone to hear a room that size.

So I just purchased this.... my projector is 13.5 feet away from the screen and I MIGHT be getting 80inch... is there a setting i'm missing? i've adjusted everything I can manually

It was a great idea but I had a hard time setting up my projector and the unit to get a clear copy . This is basically a mirror in a frame that you set on a surface and point your projector to play into it and then record what plays on the mirror with a device. the area was approx. 6-8 inches square that you had to get your projector to fit into . I had to have a lot of room and be far enough away to get it to fit in the mirror space. It was just awkward and I finally gave up and sent it back. They refunded me immediately. Good luck!

I honestly don't know if it would fit, but I do not recommend this product. It is not sturdy enough to hold the projector up and in addition after I ordered it I found that a small (stronger) stand came with my mini projector.

Hi Lawrence. I am not an expert, but I do own the projector you are looking at. I also installed it in our theatre. We hung it at 15' out and the throw is tight. I can't imagine being able to set it up at 8'. But the expert is better to ask. I was able to get through to the BenQ customer service. They were very knowledgeable when I was installing. But it did take several days for them to call back.

Maybe but good luck finding an actual model number for it because this is a no name projector spend a little bit more and get a viewsonic. Easily replaceable bulbs and name brand you can trust.

I wouldnt recommend this projector. It came broken and missing cords and I sent it back and got another one still broken but with cords. Id recommend spending the extra money and getting one from best buy or somewhere like that.

Yeah!!.. Maybe space would be ok, you wanna spend money? buy this thing.. otherwise look for another projector (maybe a little more expensive, but operational)

I believe you need to move the projector closer for the image to get smaller or farther away to get larger. I really haven't used this projector yet, so you might want to contact tech support at Artograph.

It can be any size. It depends on the distance between the projector and the screen or the wall. I tried on a screen up to 100 inches (4mx4m)

Sure. It's the minimum. For a better performance, visit the Epson site and in the projectors support you will find a projector calculator, which is perfect to show you the best size that fit your distance.
