I have been eyeing the BenQ W5000, and i realized that it has a very limited zoom compared to many other (specifically LCD) models. does a 1.2 zoom allow for much closer arrangement of the projector? i have a 123 in. screen that i am currently using with a business projector (definitely temporary) and i was wondering how the 1.2:1 zoom works? does it mean that for every 1 ft. of the projector screen, it is 1.2 times back? so a 10 ft. projector screen would be 12 feet back? this seems very unrealistic and most likely wrong, can someone please correct me

?
