Wall mount vs ceiling mount?

[admin_exported]

Hi All,

Just wondering if there is any benefit of ceiling over wall mounts for a projector?

I’m planning to turn my sofa in the living room through 90 degrees as it will give more usable floor space (no sniggering at the back, i mean for a coffee table etc). This means the projector can no longer sit on the shelving where it currently lives.

As I see it the wall mount would be easier to fit, and I’m not limited to picking a drop of X cm (even if it is adjustable to some extent) which may not be suitable for my next home. However, I’ve always associated mounted projectors with being on the ceiling. Is there a reason most folks take this option?

Thanks for any advice.

Ed

Does this mean its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other, or does no one have any ideas?

As long as the projector is stable (i.e. minimised vibrations), I can't see that it really matters. Probably worth contacting a professional CEDIA installer and getting their opinion though.
