"Why would you think that the further back you place your projector the worse the image is? Where did you hear this information?" My contractor's friend who happens to own an entertainment store told me this. He said that the further back the projector is, the much you lose brightness and contrast, and hence, quality. He recommends no more than 23 ft back for my projector. "...If you had perfect optics, you could project from 1,000 feet and the image would look great. That is (obviously) an exageration, but with a good lens on a good projector, any distance they give you to project from is perfectly acceptable." Will you think my Fujitsu will work fine at that distance? I had to do a lot of investigation to get this throwback figure but I would like to get your opinions. Thanks. Warm regards, Luong Do

Hello again. Final question (hopefully): I know that the further away I put the throwback distance for any projector, the less the quality of the picture, but my question is that can I play around with the zoom? In other words, can I put the projector closer to the wall (20 ft instead of 25.3 ft) and increase the zoom to 1.27 instead of 1.00 and still get excellent quality picture while still keeping the 160 inch screen? Thanks. Sincerly, Luong Do
