In the title was already, that this is an all-rounder. And he really is. From the 16: 9 film format to the 4: 3 projection at the little guy all in there. Including 3D playback.
That's given the price by no means obvious.
Proud 2800 ANSI lumens, the device skin on the projection surface and that's really comparable devices much.
To review:
Attempting to unpack, put on the table, 3D Blu Ray Player via HDMI cable connected and of course supplied with Strömlingen ;-)
The turn-up to full light output becomes quite short and food appears almost completely self-explanatory and well thought out menu. I needed at no time the manual that comes with this projector on a CD.
Movies:
In the absence of a true projection screen we tested the device easily in the photo studio on a white background. As a test of the movie playback, we took The Avengers at hand, inasmuch as we presented with this film in 2D as well as 3D and we already knew about the quality of the effects. The projector instantly recognized the format and the input signals of 1920: 1080i.
Unfortunately we noticed that one cable unfortunately have to do without certain settings such as sharpness and color at a transmission via HDMI, simply because these options can not be selected in this case.
The image itself is not actually the force but it was already clear in advance because the native resolution of BenQ at 800x600 in 4: 3. HD is thus not possible and you can see of course. The 3D rendering us but a little, and I can definitely say, pleasantly surprised. If the resolution would still play, you would have quite a good substitute for cinema at home. This is the way to the shutter method and
the optional 3D Glasses beat naturally unlike the polarization technique duly financially impact.
But at this point I want to stress that one should know in advance exactly which
Tasks can be such an instrument At length.
Projection:
Here the projector from BenQ shows its full strength. For this he is made!
If the projector is not too far away from the screen, you have even in daylight still a highly recognizable image in front of him.
I really liked the Preferences menu where you. For example, lines or checkered patterns, like the pages of a maths specification, can project on the blackboard at school This saves work for the values Pauker and the panel can remain in the original state.
Whether sufficient to a whole class with the built-in 2 Watt speakers zappligen students care about now acoustically optimal, may sometimes remain undecided. But what should come out of the little box yet? But thanks to the connectivity it is no problem to connect a smaller facility and then to hear the sound it. In general we can dock almost everything about this particle. Whether Receiver, Notebook, DVD / Blu Ray player Everything is possible. Well, a washing machine connection has the thing now is not, but I can live with ;-)
One could also mention that there are a lot of configuration options (depending on what is connected to a device), the color of the background up to the start screen. But that would lead to far now. But worth mentioning is the fact that the lamp life can be extended considerably if you use the ECOBLANK mode. According to the manufacturer up to 6500 hours of operation, sorry now that I could not test ;-)
We once played through all three possible settings, and the loss of brightness when ECO mode is marginal compared to the Normal mode, that this may well have constantly in operation. The device would have actually been able to be set from the factory so, you would not have noticed.
CONCLUSION:
Who needs a projector for the university or school, is served here fully. Even when events such as weddings and birthdays, the part is highly recommended. Who is, however, a home cinema, which should definitely look elsewhere. Well, now he can indeed 3D but in the resolution that's not really the bringer. Since this projector is therefore meant to be used for schools, the 3D option surprised me a little. Because first you would have to equip the whole class with such spectacles which is really expensive, and secondly, you can still plenty of USB-strokes to buy, because the glasses are in fact charged via this port.
But for that I would be no points deduction, because it is this is an addition that can be used, but not necessarily.
Considering the price / performance ratio I can forgive the full number of points for the device, despite the film weakness. It's just for presentation purposes he intended but may also films ;-)
