infocus x1 - viewing at an angle?

hi there
i just purchased an x1 and the image is fantastic.
however, it appears you can only keystone the top and bottom of an image,
and i hoped to have the projector on a bookcase to the side of a room at an
angle to the wall it would project onto, but it appears you cannot do this.
is this correct?
cheers

You loose picture quality doing too much keystone, as you're using pixels to
compensate for the angle.Ideally you don't want to do any keystone at all,
or at least as little as possible. You can angle the projector up & down by
adjusting the feet, that'll avoid any keystone adjustment. And again you
don't want to do horizontal keystone adjustment.

Buy a mount, and fit above behind/above the audience so it aims directly at
the screen.
