As far as I know, the HD120 have the shortest throw between all the optional lenses.


The HD-10L lenses have the shortest throw distance at 76 inches.

I think there is another problem with hanging the PJ so low, the light from the screen comes back into the tubes and damages the contrast, am I right?


Yes this does happen.

OK, that's good to know, even if my HD120 do focus, I'll still have the HD10 for a bigger screen.

No actually, I didn't find it interesting with my old BG808s. I'll give it a try.

There is so much scattered information there it is hard to glean the info we need. Glad you got what you wanted.

Well, I tested the optical focus at my projection distance.
I managed to get focus, but I had to turn the dials up to the end. I don't think I get the best focus.
I'll mount it and afterward see weather I need HD10L lens.
