Asked by: Catalin
No, the wall mount is not included. This can be used in a table-top orientation. The compatible wall mount is the Epson ELPMB46 Ultra Short-Throw Projector Mount. You can find it at the following link - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1308765-REG/epson_v12h777020_ultra_short_throw_wall_mount.html

Is short throw any brighter than a regular ...

Is short throw any brighter than a regular front-projector or can we assume the lumen rating is the same? TY
Asked by: benjamin
Lumens is a standad rating and would remain the same for all projectors regardless of throw ratio.
