I have a client with a golf simulator net in need of a projector. The screen is 120"x90" total. I haven't searched for a 4x3 projector in quite some time. I am not 100% sure of the distance we have to mount away from the screen yet. Knowing where he wants to put, I'd say we don't have too much space to mount it farther away. Any recommendations on what I should look at? If distance is required to make a suggestion, I'll work on getting it.

Throw distance will certainly help narrow it down.

The Epson mentioned above are very nice. The G7400 can come without a lens, so pick a lens when you see what the distance is.

I called my rep for pricing as it's not listed on their site. He's gonna call me tomorrow as he was on the road today. I asked the client to please measure the distance from where the projector is slated to go. He took it upon himself to have the electrician run power but never mentioned anything about this project to me while the basement was unfinished or throughout construction. It's now finished with triple layers of sheetrock (2 5/8" and 1 1/2")

That blows!! Good luck, that Epson is really nice though, it's our standard conference room projector.

Reminds me of a guy I did an install for in the winter. While working, he's telling me how he's re-doing his backyard and pool area. I tell him, great, give me a call when you're digging stuff up and I'll wire you a kickass sound system and extend the wifi network.

As you guessed, never called during construction, then calls pretty much right after it's done. Now, he had to compromise on esthetics and system size because of price.

Can't fix what the majority of people are like. Boggles my mind.
