Ultra-short-throw projectors are excluded — they sit inches from the wall, not at room distance. Very large sizes are geometry only; brightness becomes the real limit.

Frequently asked questions

From 8 ft a standard projector fills up to about 73 inches; divide your distance by the throw ratio, then by 0.87, to get the diagonal.
