A projector's throw ratio links the distance to the screen with the image width.

The math behind it

image width = distance / throw ratio. For 16:9, the diagonal is width x sqrt(1 + (9/16)^2).

Worked Example

Throw 1.5 at 4 m gives a 2.67 m wide image (about 121-inch diagonal).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is throw ratio?

Distance to screen divided by image width - lower means a wider image up close.
