Is there a formula at determine aspect ratios? I want to make a screen that is 1.78:1. I still need to determine how wide or tall I need to make it. I was just wondering if there was a formula so I could plug my numbers in.

This is a trick question...right? Just multiply the desired height of your intended screen by 1.78 to get the width.


Example: 4 feet high would result in 7.12 feet wide so the measurements would be 4 x 7.12 feet.

Try this calculator: www.sonydisplaysystems.com/display/downloads.html


It's for Sony projectors, but it allows you to plug in aspect ratios and get all the screen measurements.

Then, to get the diagonal, take the square root of the width squared plus the height squared.


sqrt(4^2 + 7.12^2) = 8.17 feet (98 inches)
