how high should a projector screen be from the floor

 

A projector screen is an important part of a movie theater. It’s where you project the image of the actors and make it look like they are walking into your living room.

This isn’t just for movies though, it’s for any type of show that has people on a stage or in front of a proscenium style area.

The size and location of the screens can vary from theater to theater but it’s something that you need to figure out before you purchase your equipment.

You also need to know how high or low the projector should be placed. This may sound like a simple thing but there are a few opinions about how high or low you should place your screen.

Here’s the info I have on projector screens:

You can find these screens from online retailers such as theater screen company . It is recommended that you search for these screens on Google because some of them aren’t listed anywhere else on the Internet and that is a good thing.

If you find something brand new look for it to list it first on the Internet so other people will know about it if they don’t already know about it. Don’t forget about the size of your screen.

 This is important for making sure that you have enough space for the people to be able to see the movie from where they sit.

Here’s some info on projector placement:

Some people believe that it should be as close to the screen as you can get it without getting it in the way of other people’s seats.

I don’t know why anyone would think this way if no one is sitting in those seats, but some people think this way anyway.

That must mean that they are used to the idea of having a small amount of room between themselves and any screen.

The distance from the projector to the screen is usually measured in either feet or meters, but for simplicity we'll just use feet.

The height of your screen has a huge effect on how bright and clear your picture will be, so you'll want to avoid too-high screens if possible. Keep in mind that screens higher than 10 feet can overstrain your eyes and create eye strain.

It's also worth noting that screens closer to the ground can eventually lead to mild neck pain, or worse yet - back pain! Make sure you consider these factors before deciding on an appropriate height for your projector.

Projector Type and Size

The first thing you'll need to determine before choosing a screen height is the type of projector you'll be using. There are two main projector types: front-projection and rear-projection.

Front-projection requires a very high screen, because the projector is essentially in front of you at all times. The room's walls block a lot of the projection light which means it reaches only about half as far as rear projection.

 Front-projectors also generally have much lower resolutions than their rear-projected counterparts, so their light output can be dimmer.
