Need a Zero-Offset Projector (Home Theater) for a wall-shelf.?

I'm looking at a new Projector, and it needs to have the following criteria:

- HDMI & 1080p (duh)

- 110" diagonal (96" wide) on a 10' throw (not difficult)

- LED highly preferred, DLP or "standard" is up to the price

But the kicker is that I don't have a ceiling-mount option, nor table-mount viable. I have a shelf that is set (including lens height) at approximately the center of the screen. Therefore I need a projector with a zero (+/-5%) Offset. This instantly eliminates Optoma and BenQ.

I have an Optoma "tipped down" right now, and it doesn't have sufficient throw or keystone capabilities to accommodate the new room.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    Projector Wall Shelf

  • 6 years ago

    Your problem is unclear. If the shelf in mind is at the common 10 ft distance, and centered on the wall of projection, you should n't need to keystone adjust the image at all. If the shelf is not parallel to the floor, or at least, at a proper 90 degrees to the projection wall, level the shelf. If the shelf is too low or high you might have to tilt the projectors' front up or down,to center the screen then keystone correct the image, but almost all modern projectors of the last ten years include keystone adjustment, most of them automatic keystone adjustment. If your setup is at some skew to the room, you need to do some work on the room and your mounting position. just how it works.
