My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Throw distance? Screen size?

13 years ago
I'm dealing with an open concept room that I may not be able to have a drop down projector mount, I was looking for alternatives this would work possible for my application. Just looking for limitations with a projector that low.

    It was approx 11 - 12' Throw and the screen was 72" below the mantle of the fireplace.

    It was planned well in advance and there is a 3/4" PVC pipe run in the slab. We ran 4 - Cat5e cables for video can control. Two were use for connecting an HDMI video Balun. One provided network connection for Xbox. In carried audio back to the receiver for the Xbox.
