I am still using a 9-10 year old Panasonic PJ. It's ceiling mounted with a DIY mount as I have a drop ceiling. The Panasonic lens is about 4" below the top of my screen.
My screen is 5" from the ceiling. Screen is 100".
Per the BenQ W1070 manual, at 100" screen, the center of the lens should be 3" ABOVE the top of the screen. This will be a problem mounting as that only gives me 2" for the PJ and mounting hardware.
I see there is a lens shift, but didnt fully understand how much. I am wanting to know how far below the top of the screen I can go, and shift that image up? I tried the BenQ calculator online. After it showed I needed to mount center of lens 3" above top of screen, I clicked the button for the vertical shift. It provided a horizontal line and said 2'6". Again, not sure what that means either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get this PJ, just not sure i can mount below top of screen and use lens shift. Also not sure what type of mount to use as I have to mount above drop ceiling.
Thanks
