Using a 'Screen Calculator' for Home Movie Projector Screen Installations

Check out a calculator that dynamically calculates all of the necessary data to set up your home theater projector and screen correctly the first time. Tribal Screen's Projector Screen Calculator includes data for every projector in production using an illustrated image that easily adjusts your projector for various screen sizes and throw distances.

You start by choosing a projector manufacturer from a drop down box. Next, a drop down box lists all of the available Projector Modelsfrom that company.

Now, choose the aspect ratio for the screen you will be using. There are two sliders to adjust. One is for adjusting the throw distance, or the distance from the projector to the screen. Or, you can use the second slider for adjusting the diagonal screen size to get an Accurate Measurement for how far away to place the projector.

The calculator uses the projector specifications for the type of lens, zoom and digital correction capabilities to help you create a profile for the perfect picture. This is an incredibly helpful tool for anyone with a new DLP or LCD projector. With all of the 1080p and 720p projectors hitting the market you will find this calculator is an invaluable tool for beginning and advanced home theater enthusiasts.

Tribal Projector Screens is taking the guess work out of creating the perfect big screen picture in your home.
