ceiling mounted my 4805, points upwards?

[statik]

ceiling mounted my 4805 tonight, the picture looks great etc, the keystone was fairly close, only had to move it from 50 to 55. but the projector has to be aimed upwards, it works fine this way, I just think it looks kinda funny in that position. Is this normal?

guess I just needed to drop the screen about 1.5 feet from the ceiling, or just pull some more screen out, duh.

BTW, which screen are you using?

92x76 da-lite B with 1.5 gain

My Benq 6210 is mounted the same way. I think there are lots of people that need to tilt their projectors because of lower basement ceilings. If I didn't tilt it this way my 60x80 screen would be too close to the floor!
A bonus side-effect is that any filters you might want to use will tilt back nicely against the lens!
