    Sometimes I had the opportunity to see a projector mounted "upside down" to a structure attached to the ceiling.

    I understand that there are buttons from above, so any mounting is easiest to make from the bottom. Theoretically, it is enough to make holes in the housing and attach angle brackets or something with screws that will allow the projector to be securely mounted so that it does not fall. And execution is not a big problem. Worse than the picture. It seems that you have to reverse the LCD displays (or DLP panels) and it is, but on the other hand it is almost impossible, because everything is adjusted to the accuracy of one millimeter, removing and correctly mounting the elements, even in their original position, would be very difficult .

    Is it sometimes possible to do this, or does the manufacturer offer projectors in a version intended for ceiling mounting, in which the displays are mounted inverted, and instead of the feet there are appropriate mounts?

    One of the functions of controlling such a projector (which is done with the remote control) is turning the image "upside down".

    Hello

    And isn't it so that the image displayed through the projector can be flipped 180 degrees by setting it in the drivers? I have this option both in the laptop and with the drivers for the GeForce 6200 card in the desktop computer.

    There are many solutions. and most often position sensors are installed and if you put the equipment on its head, it will rotate the image itself so that it is correct. I have a combine from Audiovox where there is an Lcd on the plug and hanging it from the ceiling requires plugging the plug into a different socket. But this is a model from at least So 2 years old man.

    Obi997 , this is not the best idea, because on the computer screen to which you have a projector connected, the image will also be inverted, which is not convenient when conducting a presentation. For example, my 3M X15 projector has the function I wrote about above.

    If the projector is in the lecture hall and lecturers bring their laptops, this solution will not work.

    And isn't it that I only flip the image on the second screen (overhead projector)?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of ceiling mounting projectors in an upside-down orientation. Users highlight that many projectors have built-in features to flip the image 180 degrees, either through remote control or software settings, which can be adjusted in the projector's drivers or graphics card settings. Some projectors, like the 3M X15, come equipped with this functionality. Additionally, certain models may include position sensors that automatically correct the image orientation when mounted upside down. However, concerns are raised about the practicality of this setup, particularly in lecture environments where presenters may struggle with inverted images on their laptops. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting projectors designed for inverted displays and the need for user-friendly image adjustment options.
