[QUOTE="Blakey, post: 2670299, member: 31498"] Hmmm, I think I am going to have to sweet talk the GF into letting me buy a universal ceiling mount for this projector. The Unicol Gyrolock GKC looks like the business and can tilt and swivel in all directions, so I think this one should do the trick if mounted pretty much as close to the centre of the room as possible. This leads me to two more questions (sorry!!): 1. How much of an angle can you get away with projecting from and still get a square image using keystone correction? I am looking at a throw distance of 4'6" so how far away from the centre of the games table can I expect to be able to place my projector and not get a corkscrewed image? 2. What happens if you end up getting a projector with a 4'6" minimum throw distance but mount it just 4' above your table? Presumably it wont ever come into focus resulting in a completely unworkable situation? The reason for this question is that the space I have is 64" to work with. The BenQ PB6210 is 8.5" deep. So allow 10" for the front of the projector from the ceiling (including 1.5" breathing space) and I have 54" or 4'6" throw distance to the table. The PB6210 has a 4'6" minimum distance. Does this mean that if I have my calculations out by say an inch, it will be a complete no show and I won't be able to get it to work?? Sorry for all the questions but I'm not spending £1000 without some serious research and consideration!! :-) Cheers Blakey [/QUOTE]
