Great video, thank you so much for the information. I'm currently building a sim in my garage and trying to figure out the best screen size, ratio, and projector is so confusing for a layman. I've got enough room for about a 9.5 feet wide by about an 8.5 feet high screen, although I had thought that I needed to try to match the height to the width to get the best picture possible. It hadn't occurred to me that I could just change the resolution on the display so that the height stayed the same and the width was narrower. Great advice!

I would add that with the projector I am using (Benq MX819ST), unfortunately what I found is the different projector settings (front table, front ceiling, rear ceiling, rear table) somehow resulted in a different size on the screen according to height. So I mistakenly had my projector on front table and only when installing it to the ceiling and then realizing it should be on front ceiling, I found the height distance no longer filled up the screen. So off with the projector and will need to reposition it.

Thx for the video- I’m assuming the optimum location for a ceiling mounted projector would be over the top of the ball, correct? This would pretty much guarantee there will be no flop shots that could hit the projector. In the typical short indoor set up for the mevo plus that would mean a throw distance of 8 feet which is why A short throw projector would be ideal. But, in my garage, I need to have the mevo+ set up at 19 feet from screen. (this is because of the three car garage set up. I will need to move two cars out onto the driveway. The third space is open. In order to prevent having to set up and calibrate the mevo plus each time we use it (thereby allowing both cars to be parked in the garage) I will need to have it in the open third garage bay. But, this is about 19 feet from the screen. ) Since the ball needs to be 8 feet from the mevo plus that means it will be 11 feet from the screen. My question then is- Will a short throw projector still work with 11 feet of throw distance or do I need a regular projector? Screen is 7’3” tall, 9’8” wide Thx in advance

If you customize the width with the NVIDIA, does the native aspect ratio of the projector even matter? I'm also planning to use The Golf Club 2019 software, when you change the width resolution as you illustrated in the software, does the image width shrink or does the width cut elements out from the width that would have been displayed if you used full width resolution?

Try it out be you might have to settle with a resolution that won't fill the entire screen. You could always add a black baffle (for example a black sheet) to the top of the screen.
