1) Distance of 1 to 1 (9 feet from screen and 9 foot screen)

9 feet = 108 inch (adj down to 103) = 118 inch diag 1.78:1.
9 feet = 108 inch (adj down to 103) = 112 inch diag 2.35:1.

2) Distance of 1.3 to 1 (9 feet from screen and 8 foot screen)

8 feet = 96 inch (adj down to 92) = 110 inch diag 1.78:1.
8 feet = 96 inch = 104 inch diag 2.35:1.

3) Distance of 1.5 to 1 (9 feet from screen and 6.75 foot screen)

6.75 feet = 81 inch (adj down to 80) = 92 inch diag 1.78:1.
6.75 feet = 81 inch = 88 inch diag 2.35:1.




I have that exact screen, I posted some pics in this thread the other day : http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=276662&fpart=1

I do plan on sitting more like 13' back from it for most things like TV and sports, although I may move a bit closer for movies and gaming. I was limited by room width otherwise I would have gone more like 118" or so.

If you do decide on 1.78 I think you have chosen well. The 2.35 is a cool thing too if you watch a lot of movies, but you will give up a good amount of screen size watching HDTV.
