How close can you use the projector from the back side and still get a good picture on a 72in. x 96in. screen.

The picture is really bad on this projector. Blurry and pixelated. You need a 1260 x 800 to ensure you can read what's being shown or have crisp pictures.

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.

the projector is tiny and light it actualy fits in the palm of of you hand.I have mine 6ft away from the screen and it gives off a picture size of about 32" and does not need to be in dark rooms. I have not tried it further away but i would say that it would work fine as the spec says to give up to a 100" screen which would be about 18ft.

It will still look great, just have in mind this is a short throw projector. I have mines about 9ft on a 120" screen and image is awesome.

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.

In your case, both 16:9 or 4:3 screen ratio will be fine. It all depends on what type of screen you are projecting to, this projector will give you as big as you want plus the light is very bright even from a distance. I used it mostly in a 100-300 size hall and it shows great quality picture. Hope this helps.

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.

I've never used the projector over it's maximum distance, but it has worked very well in medium sized conference or meeting rooms. It is bright enough that the room need not be totally darkened. Low lighting in the room still allows for a clear picture on the screen.

This projector has a big picture. Mine gives us a 75" screen at 7' away. If the ratio holds, your diagonal screen distance would be 14'. I'm pretty sure Epson has a calculator for this on their website

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!

that would depend on the how big of a screen you want and what angle you are projecting. I have my projector mounted on the ceiling and projecting a 110" image on my wall. I have rather good definition although the angle form the ceiling mount makes one corner of the projection not as clear as the rest,(there is a lens focus that you adjust for different distances) but from what I have read on every projector this is a very common problem. I would recommend this projector over any other. between it's value and clarity its a great buy for a big screen without the big price. let me know if you have any other questions.

I use the full resolution 1280x800. I use a white projection screen and the picture is pretty good. I have a custom 90" screen that I built from white blackout cloth. If you go big you must have a super dark room. We can still watch sports with the lights on, but it is a bit washed out, but in complete darkness the projector is superb.

I use a large image size albeit at a shorter throw distance. At 50' Some quick calculations tell me that the minimum 16:9 aspect projection will be ~319" diagonal (~8,100mm) or ~278" (~7060mm) by ~156.4" (~3970mm).This is ok, if the room is fairly dark during projection although this is entirely subjective.I believe it is also important to check if the vertical shift is acceptable to you as the image will be about 54" (~1360mm) above the normal plane of the projector (or below if ceiling mounted).All aside, page 18 of the freely downloadable manual will likely be more helpful than any subjective explanations.

I believe with the 3500 lumens you could push a 50' screen and it would still look sharp. I do a 40' screen with a 2000 lumens projector and it looks great, but it has to be dark. I am not an expert, but I have been doing outside movies for the neighborhood for over 10 years for fun.

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.

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.

I prefer when I'm by myself to sit about six feet away from my 120 inch screen, so that the spectacle fills my entire field of vision. With the projector properly mounted above there's a steep slope of projection so that a person can get relatively close to the screen without blocking the projection. Since my big screen is in a fairly small room, guests tend to sit about 10 feet back from the screen.
