Is 11' distance from projector screen too close?


I have a room that is 11' 6" wall to wall and I wondered if anyone knew whether that was too short of a viewing distance to use a projector?

I was hoping I could use a smaller screen, say 90" and it wouldn't be too large or overpowering for the short viewing distance.

If anyone has knowledge about viewing distances using a projector or personal experience concerning this dilemma, please respond.

Thank You

It will fit, at very least, with any LCD projector with 2.1:1 throw ratio.
I had an old Optoma HD65, and that throw ratio fit in a room that was 12.5" deep, at the back wall, and fit on a 100" screen. You should be ok on 90" with most projector options, I presume.
If in doubt, simply go to www.projectorcentral.com, and go to the projection calculator for a given model (blue click on on left side of page).
