The optimal distance between the projector and the screen is 3-5 meters. Generally speaking, the normal focal length is about 3 meters to project an 80-inch screen. This should be adjusted according to the size of the screen and the actual parameters of the projector.

The best distance between the projector and the screen is generally 3-5 meters. If you want to project an 80-inch screen, it should be at a distance of 3 meters.

The optimum distance between the projector and the screen also depends on the installation distance and projection distance.

The calculation method of the installation distance is:

Minimum installation distance (m) = minimum projection ratio × projection screen width (m)

Maximum installation distance (m) = maximum projection ratio × projection screen width (m)

The projection distance refers to the distance between the projection lens and the screen, and this value is related to the projection size. You can use the Projector Calculator to calculate the distance.

Taking a living room with an area of 25 square meters as an example, the best projection size is 80-100 inches. When the distance from the projection lens to the screen is less than 4 meters, the projection size should preferably be controlled below 100 inches, and when it is greater than 4 meters, it is suitable for projecting extra large images of more than 100 inches.
