Hello
I am planning to get the HC3800 along with a 106" project screen. However, I would like to know what mounting distance should be and what the viewing distance should be for such a big screen? I want to make sure the screen is not too big, as my room is only a little longer 12' feet long. The projector will be ceiling mounted and I will be sitting against the 12 feet wall.
If 106" is too big, then I will consider a small screen...
thank you!
Answer
The distance varies among projector models because of the lenses used.
This projection calculator says that for your projector you could place the projector as close as 10' 8" or as far as 15' 11" and still fill a 106" screen: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Mitsubishi-HC3800-projection-calculator-pro.htm .

btw because im projecting in my bedroom i can only have my throw distance max 4.1m back so that may mean that cheaper alternitives are available because they dont need a very long range throw distance and i found this projector on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HD-Home-Theatre-LCD-Projector-TV-HDMI-DVB-T-USB-SD_W0QQitemZ200230415483QQihZ010QQcategoryZ22610QQcmdZViewItem
does it look like it could do the job??
Answer
A projector will work fine in a bedroom, as long as you can get the room dark/dim, the fan noise doesn't bother you (some are quieter than others) and it can project a large enough picture for you.
The maximum image size will be limited by the optics. That said, at a viewing distance of 3-3.5 m you probably don't want an image larger than about 2-2.25 m (diagonal) anyway, and many projectors will do that.
The projector you found is one I'm not familiar with, but it looks like an OK model (and unlike most it appears to have a TV tuner). The weakness is the contrast ratio -- which is a bit low, BUT typical of projectors in the price range. For your budget you can't expect to find much but "business projectors" (vs "home theatre") which means they will be a little weak on video processing and contrast ... but they will work fine for games.
I'd query the seller re fan noise level (I may have missed it, but you want a level of 30 dB or less ... and all I saw was something about a 3 fan design), confirm the image size capability at whatever viewing distance you intend to use ... and ask about replacement lamps (cost, where to get, etc ... you will need one every 3000 hrs or so).
Remember when talking about throw distance it is measured to the front of the lens from the screen surface.
The link another respondent sent re projectorcentral.com is a good one for info, reviews, etc on projectors.
