What is the optimum throw distance?

I was going into the sharp software program to find out where to hang my new projector. They give me a maximum distance of 15.20ft and a minimum of 13.14ft. I have the option to place it anywhere between these two dimensions as I have just built a dedicated theatre, but what is the absoulute best position. Do I go with the minimum or the maximum?

The best distance is to use NO zoom at all, i.e. as far back as possible. In your case, the front of the len should be 15.2' from the screen.

To prove if for yourself, just place it on table level and move the projector among those two points. Hope this help.
