I have a large room with high ceiling, will the high ceiling be an issue with this short throw projector? If so, is there a mount that will telescope?

Not likely. Mine is mounted on a ten foot ceiling. And my picture doesnt start until below 8 foot. You use the keystone adjust to account for trapezooidal effect. The projector does however require a fairly specific ceiling mount.

Yes you can set len then focus to make it fit Also you can mount it on the ceiling The closer you are to the wall the smaller it isBy the way awsome projector for the price 3d is good but looks better on ps3 xbox

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!

Yes, it is built to be close to the ceiling. If you want it to hang low you probably need and extension or buy a different mount.

Yes you can adjust however you want it. But make sure the mounting hole locations on your projector do not interfere with thr base plate of the ceiling mount.

We mounted it using the arm drop extension. It pivots at the part attached to the projector, not at the end attached to the ceiling. The pivot works very well - we have it set regularly to display on our projector screen, but can swivel the projector 90 degrees to display on the side wall (which is just white) for when we want to view from the other end of the room (it is a long basement room). Not a common need - we use it set up specifically for the projector screen the majority of the time, but a nice feature to have.

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.

As long as you have an hd projector and enough space in the room it is great. Make sure you can control the amount of light in the room.

yes, if mounted to ceiling it will work from about 20-25 feet from projector.

I mounted mine on the ceiling & w/ the lens shifting it got the picture right. Also the projector overhead made it so nothing interferes w/ the picture, (objects,people,vibrations)

I use the projecter at 3 meters away from the wall , it gave me more than 100 inch , huge projection , becouse its short throw .

The only downside for a home install is having enough room. The projector needs to be about 15 ft away (thats my guestimate) from the wall in order to focus properly. But it's a solid projector that is VERY bright. We've had no trouble with ours.

Yes, it would work well for this. The projector has to be a fixed distance from the screen which is probably about 4-5 feet to get to 120 inches, but should not be an issue since you are not mounting it. You can determine that with an online calculator. The Lumens are pretty high so should have pretty good visibility at dusk. Only other issue is it is not true HD (1080p) but still looks really good. I use it for my indoor Golf Simulator and it does the trick.

Picture quality is awesome. However- not sure about your setup, but a short throw doesn't make much sense for an outdoor projector. Also not sure about brightness for outdoors, since there tends to be a lot of light outside that you can't control. Probably safer to look elsewhere.

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'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.

the Little nub on the bottom in the front is actually a screw which when turned will adjust the front end of the projector higher or all the way in is as low as it goes, I usually just place my projector on a small table or small stand or stage floor depending on where I am using it. You can buy a stand if you want to suspend it from the ceiling. I hope this info helps
