If a projector says it has a throw ratio between 1.35-1.6:1, I'm curious which of these is the 'natural' throw of the projector.


I'm assuming that the other number is obtained by using the projector's digital zoom which would work by not using a portion of the LCD, and would therefore be undesirable.


The throw ratio compares the distance from the screen to the DIAGONAL, right? Not the horizontal width?


(Just in case it matters, this is the throw ratio specified for the Sanyo Z1.)

cfoster,


I'm sure the throw ratio is normally showing for the optical zoom, not the digital zoom. The range basically depends of the zoom range of the lens. So, it can use the full LCD panel at any distance.
