Modern home theaters equipped with projectors have the ability to project stunning, life-sized images on screens measuring 120 inches or more. However, depending on the distance between the projector and the screen, it may become necessary to make the projected image bigger. Using the digital zoom feature of these projectors allows the image to be custom-fit to the screen as needed, allowing more placement flexibility.
