Welcome to Projector Tips!
Let's be honest, not every room is conducive for the mounting of a projector. In fact, mounting may not be the only issue that we run into when mounting a projector, there is also the shadow that they can cast from the presenter and the glare in the eyes.
Many major projector companies have solved these issues by releasing ultra short throw projectors. These state of the art projectors feature a very short throw distance, eliminating the problem of the presenter obstructing the projected image, virtually eliminate shadows, glare and distracting projector light. Depending on the style of short throw projector used will determine the mounting method. Many of these projectors are flush mounted directly above or below the projection surface and may only stick out about 12 inches over the surface. (See video in right column) While others like the Epson EMP series, use a fixed arm that is mounted to the wall just above the area you are projecting on; these will stick out about two to three feet over the surface (See video in right hand column) Using the more flush mount projectors like the Hitachi CP/ED series and Sanyo PLC series not only offer flexibility in their mounting, but the can save time and money.
Some companies who offer ultra short throw projectors:
*Hitachi’s ultra short throw CP-A100/ED-A100
*Sanyo PLC-XL50
*NEC WT600
