Will somebody lucky enough to already own one of these fine units please help me out?

Can someone tell me how high the bottom of the projected image would be off of the ground with the projector placed 13' back from the viewing surface and anywhere from 41 to 53 inches off the ground on a shelf at minimum zoom? Is the projected image about 90" diagonal (44" x 79") I just want to make sure the pitch will shoot over my head from the couch in front and hit the screen right.

I'm gonna post a pic of my setup for visual reference. Thanks to anybody willing to take the time to help!

BTW - I've downloaded Mitsubishi's projector calculator, but it doesn't list the HD1000U as a model it calculates.

The calculator I downloaded (version 1.09, the latest one I believe) has the HD1000 near the bottom of the list under the home use category.

Thanks. I just downloaded it again and it gave me v1.09. I downloaded it about an hour ago and it gave me v1.06. Anyway...it doesn't look like it's going to work for my setup. Why'd they have to make the pitch so high?? The search continues...

I was a bit giddy as well when I was downloading the software, as I thought the 1000 could be a great option for an inexpensive 720p projector. Was disappointed to seen that it won't work for me either :(

Well you can always tilt the projector up and use keystone or tilt the screen forward a bit.
