UST Projector Screen Placement: Plan the Wall, Cabinet and Seats
Ultra short throw projectors are close to the wall, but that does not make placement automatic. The cabinet, image height and screen size all influence one another.

Start with the projector manual
Every UST model has its own relationship between image size, distance from the wall and vertical offset. Do not copy another projector's measurements. Use the exact model's installation diagram.
Measure the screen, not just the diagonal
A 100-inch 16:9 image is about 87.2 inches wide; 120 inches is about 104.6 inches wide. Add the frame, wall margins and any speaker clearance.
Account for cabinet depth
The projector may need to sit farther from the wall for a larger image. That can push the cabinet into the room. Measure furniture depth before committing to 120 inches.
Set image height for real viewing
Mounting too high can force viewers to look upward for long periods. Balance cabinet/projector geometry with a comfortable screen centerline from the seating position.
Check Fresnel orientation carefully
Directional screens must be installed in the correct orientation. If the product has a 'PRO' versus ceiling-mounted 'PRO A' style variant or orientation-specific material, confirm the version before assembly.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mount a UST projector on the ceiling?
Some models support it, but the screen material and orientation must also be compatible.
Should the screen be centered on the wall or the seats?
Center the viewing experience around the main seating position when possible.
How do I know the required projector distance?
Use the exact throw-distance or installation chart for your projector model.
