How can I tell how large an image the projector will throw at a certain distance?
The X1 has a zoom lens, so there is actually a range of image sizes available from any particular distance. The best way to determine that range is with the use of the X1 projection calculator provided by InFocus. Remember that the distance is measured from the front of the lens to the screen. You will need to leave 16 inches or so behind that point for the rest of the projector and to allow room for cables. The X1 throw ratio [(distance from screen to lens) / (screen width)] ranges from 1.89 to 2.27.
