    ceiling mounted my 4805, points upwards?

    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?

          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!

            Poor Infocus 4805 Lamp Life
            by toohighpsi
            Well I was really happy with the performance of my 4805 untill a couple days ago. I've had the projector for about 10 months and while my kids were watching a movie the other night the lamp exploded. (it was nothing short of an explosion either, I heard it from the second floor and it's mounted in the...

            A question for Infocus 4805 owners & others.
            by GeneTheMachine
            I'll be picking up a 4805 on Saturday and trying to get my room somewhat set. My floor plan would be nicer if I could have the seating between 10-11 feet from the screen. I'm wondering if this is possible with the 4805 and what screen size would be best at that distance. If that close of a viewing position...

            by statik

            In-Ceiling Speakers - Ideas?
            by kid320
            I put a bid in on a house the other day. As I was taking a tour through the place, I noticed there were speakers mounted in the ceiling of almost every room. There were two speakers in the dining room, kitchen and each of the three bedrooms (10 speakers in total). All of the speakers seem to be home-run...

            Rear Ceiling Mounted Speakers
            by kvardas
            Hi, this is probably going to sound really stupid, but oh well.

            I have a pair of custom Vifa 2-way speakers with P17 woofers and D27 tweeters. The Cabinets are approximately 7.5 inches wide by 13 inches tall, and have a rear port. I also have a pair of MTM Fronts and Center that use...
