Room too small to mount a projector to the ceiling. Any ways around it?

    I bought a projector a few years back and I would project it onto a white wall with it sitting on a coffee table.

    I have decided to buy a white screen and mounted it to the back wall. I now want to have the projector hanging from the ceiling but when I went to see how high it would have to be from the ceiling I found out to my disappointment that it would have to be at least at head height in order for the projector to fit onto the screen. Any higher and it will be too big for the screen.

    I have it as far back from the screen as possible and there is no way I could have it sit on a table anymore as it would basically have to be sitting on top of the couch. I can get it about 2 - 3 meters away from the screen but no further.

    Any suggestions on how I could have it hang from the ceiling without being at head height?

    Regards,
    James

    Is there no way to adjust the Keystone setting?

    Ceiling mount with tilt and keystone correction? What height is your ceiling, standard 8+ foot?

    There is no keystone setting on the projector itself sadly. The ceiling is the standard 8ft until it reaches the back where the ceiling comes down to 7ft due to a girder or something along the lines of that.

    I have figured out that by placing the projector upside down it will fit onto the screen perfectly. The only problem is that the image is upside down. Is there any way of getting the input to display the image upside down before reaching the projector (without using a computer as the source because there is no connection for computers on the projector)

    If you go into the setting you should be able to change the setting to Ceiling Front/Ceiling Rear/etc you will get the picture upside down.

    I've tried that but there is no option to do so. Is there some sort of adapter I could get to invert the image before reaching the projector?

    Perhaps buying a new projector would work out better..
