Optimum Projection Screen Size

To a Projection Screen Size optimum screen size relates to the aspect ratio, viewing distance, image resolution, and to a lesser degree secondary factors such as screen gain, projector brightness and screen door effect. It's actually a balancing act.

Generally fixed screens are the optimum choice for best results as the screen material is stably supported and unlikely to stretch and become wavy. Motorized screens place no stress (stretching) to the screen during lowering. Side wire tensioned models are a good option. Manual pull-down or pull up screens stretch (tension) the screen material which can cause screen surface distortion over time. Portable screens are the least stably supported and most likely to have screen surface distortions. Auto image Optimization function auto sizes and adjusts images for optimum picture performances, allowing you to fully  concentrate on your presentations rather than time consuming manual adjustments.

Generally optimum Projection Screen Size depends on Projector Native Resolution (aspect ratio), Ceiling Height (screen height) and Distance from Screen to Audience (minimum screen width). A screen should be at least as wide as 1/6 of the distance between the screen and the viewer farthest from the screen.
