The BenQ MP522 ST is a projector that makes to use the short-distance technology. This means that you can already see a very large image on a very short projection distance. In this case, 110 "on 2m distance (according to the manufacturer). The projector is suitable primarily for presenting educational material or for exhibition in shops, museums, etc. The contrast of 700: 1 for this is perfectly adequate in my opinion. 2000 ANSI lumens of brightness is also enough. I have the Beamer now operational in a few days and am very satisfied! At first I was missing something but the push to get used to simply move the projector itself it. This is practical in the short-throw technology and allows flexibility which is rarely found in a normal projector. The picture is clear and sharp and can be seen even in not completely dark rooms. A thoroughly successful product!
