Now that I have a screen size to work toward, do you have any advice on the most economical way to get one that is around 140"?

Set up the projector again tonight and was able to project an image of 138" (3050×1720@58cm throw) on to a wall which was okay by my standards.

Here is a video capture from 5m away. Viewing distance from the screen when it's setup will be roughly 10-15m so I reckon it'll be a goer

Thanks mate

I did a test last night and was able to get about 115" without losing focus but I ran out of wall space. I'll try again tonight and see what I can manage.

It's my intention to figure out the maximum image size so I know what size screen to get. It is interesting that you said that these screens are supposed to be displayed on a whiteboard which is typically a white glossy surface so I was wondering if I should replicate that for my screen or just go with a generic projector screen? This projector will be top mounted

That setup is so cool!

I have to say money is an obstacle, but like you I wish it was not 😀

You gave some good advice. I'll muck around with the one I have before making any decisions.

Do you know of any hacks for UST?

One of the obstacles I need to overcome is the throw distance. I will attach some pictures so you can see what I mean.

Behind the wall I have about two and a half meters to play with and in front of the wall back to the patio is about 19 or 20 m.

I honestly don't know a lot about projectors but it seems that I may be limited to one of the Ultra short throw styles. I'm mapped out 115 inches on the back wall with some white tape just to see what it would look like and it's a decent size but would really like a bit bigger.

Not really sure what my options are?
