Direct answer
Match the projector to screen aspect ratio, image width, mounting position, ambient light, native resolution, and available throw. Throw ratio determines lens distance for a given image. A projector that cannot fill the screen from a safe location creates blank areas, spill, shadows, or a club hazard. Short-throw models are common, but the exact lens and screen calculation still matters.
Brightness is important where task lighting or windows cannot be fully controlled, while contrast and calibration determine image quality. Protect the projector from clubs and balls, route cables safely, and allow ventilation and filter access. Carl's projector-selection guide explains the core calculations.
