Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format 
each factors in the projected image size.

(expressed as 4:3). To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the 
projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projectors native aspect width. This 
will result in a...

the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently 
install it, so as to make allowance for this projectors optical characteristics. This will help you 
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.
