What is Standard Throw?
In the context of projectors, a standard throw refers to a projector that is designed to produce a large image from a relatively short distance away from the screen or wall.
Standard throw projectors typically have a throw ratio of between 1.2:1 to 2.0:1, which means that for every foot of screen width, the projector should be placed between 1.2 to 2 feet away. Standard throw projectors are commonly used in classrooms, boardrooms, and home theaters where there is limited space for mounting the projector. They are also useful in situations where the projector needs to be placed close to the screen, such as in small conference rooms or classrooms. Standard throw projectors are typically less expensive than long-throw or short-throw projectors and can produce a large image from a relatively short distance. However, the image quality may suffer if the projector is not positioned correctly or if the ambient lighting conditions are not optimal. Overall, a standard throw projector is a versatile and cost-effective option for producing a large, high-quality image from a short distance. It is important to consider the specific requirements of your intended use case when choosing a projector, including the size of the room, the distance from the screen, and the intended use of the projector.
