Enter your screen size, throw ratio, and other relevant details into the calculator to determine the optimal throw distance for your Panasonic projector.

Throw Distance Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the throw distance from your projector to the screen.

Throw Distance = Screen Size * Throw Ratio / 12

Variables:

  • Throw Distance is the distance from the projector to the screen (feet)
  • Screen Size is the diagonal size of the screen (inches)
  • Throw Ratio is the ratio of the distance from the projector to the screen to the width of the image

To calculate the throw distance, multiply the screen size by the throw ratio and then divide by 12 to convert inches to feet.
