Throw Ratio vs Lens Shift: What’s the Difference?
Selecting the right projector involves understanding more than just resolution and brightness. At XTEN-AV, we emphasize that two key specifications—Throw Ratio and lens shift—play vital roles in determining image size, placement flexibility, and overall viewing quality. While these terms are often mentioned together, they serve very different purposes in projector installation. Misunderstanding their differences can lead to common projector placement mistakes, including distorted images, uneven brightness, or incorrect screen sizing.
