is this a short throw projector?

No quite sure how you define short throw but my only problem has been getting it "small enough" to project in the area I need it to project it. Can easily cover an entire wall!

Hi Jeff, just remember, a short throw is meant to give you optimal picture from a shorter distance. I have backed this projector up as far as 20 feet and recieved a phenomenal huge picture with great clarity! Also, as far as the angle, I have had mine on the floor and then just adjuated the keystone to the correct angle to get a straight picture. Hope this helps.

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.

You may be shopping the incorrect product. This is a projection screen for projectors. It is simply a screen nothing more. Not projection televisions, but DLP/overhead/throw projectors. Best of luck in your search.

No, it most likely does not have the drivers for a projector. It is used for USB flash drives and gaming controllers mostly.

We use this projector in our church and get about 10' at about 15' from the screen. We have several short throw projectors from Infocus IN3619 I think that project a10' screen at about 5'. It is about twice the price. Many projector manufacturers build short through projectors you just need to check out their website.

Keep in mind short or ultra short throw projectors (1.5ft to 4ft) may complicate the installation

at 90" from the 'screen' to the front of the projector, it throws an image with 58" diagonal on 'tele' and 80" diagonal on 'wide' zoom setting. this model has a digital zoom, not the physical zoom ring that some models have. hth. -doug

It depends in how much space you have and if you use a regular projector you might get get in the way of the image and see your shadow on the screen..it could work but depends on your situation...shot throw can be mounted closer to the screen so you don't get in the way of the image

I didn't actually check the extremes so I probably can't give you a great answer. Have you checked out one of these calculators? http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator.cfm....It was helpful for me. I can tell you I'm projecting from around 14 ft and it looks great on a 133" diagonal screen. There's a decent discussion that helped me here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1271155/throw-distance-optoma-hd20Hope that helps!

I think it's considered short throw, but it's not ultra-short.. You can get a 100-inch diagonal from as close as 93 inches away. Sooo, to find the closest the projector can be for any diagonal size, multiply by 0.93. Want a 120 inch diagonal? The closest the W1500 can be is 120*0.93 = 112 inches.. (9 feet 4 inches).

This is not an HD projector. It is XGA resoution (1024 X 768). If you send an HD video to it, it will be downsized and have a black strip on the top and bottom of the image.

Yes. But, id advise you to find a cheaper projector if thats all you want to use it for. This is a top notch projector and if you wanted it for home viewing and portability out to the driveway then great. If its just for driveway use save yourself some money and get a cheap couple hundred dollar projector.

Nope. Not at all. If you looking for a projector for outside. 3lcd is the brightest projector for outside. Don't use DLP for outside they suck.

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)

Yes, that is the projector I have. You will only need to use the short arms, you won't need the extension pieces. The Epson 2030 is pretty awesome, you will not be disappointed!
