BenQ Unveils Two New Laser Projectors

BenQ America, one of the most popular projector manufacturers in the country, has just unveiled an all new pair of short-throw video projectors specifically designed for use in the education industry. In addition to that, both of the new projectors use mercury-free blue core light engines for increased safety and environmental friendliness.

The new projectors have been labeled the LX60ST and the LW61ST. Both projectors were designed for a low total cost of ownership by using the blue core lighting engine, which uses a laser light source as opposed to the traditional mercury lamp. This allows both devices to achieve as much as 90% less light source power consumption, according to BenQ.

The technology also optimizes the units' brightness while offering a longer life span, according to the company. BenQ also announced that both the LX60ST and LW61ST offer an average 20,000 hours of brightness and produce an ultra-high 80,000:1 contrast ratio. An instant on/off feature also saves you a lot of time on start up and powering down while a manual brightness-level adjustment accommodates different classroom environments.

The SmartEco Advanced mode, found in both projectors, automatically determines the optimal brightness level based on your input source. At the same time, a No Source Detected mode automatically lowers brightness to 10% when no display has been detected for more than three minutes. Also, an Eco Blank mode enables blanking out the screens for both projectors when not in use to redirect students' focus, while also lowering light source power consumption to only 10%.

Finally, the BenQ blue core light engine classroom projectors offer 2,000 ANSI lumens brightness, XGA / WXGA resolution and 0.6 / 0.49 short-throw projection. Both projectors also feature two 10-watt built-in speakers, as well as a microphone input, Apple iPhone / iPad wireless display support, LAN display, USB display and 360-degree titled projection.

BenQ Reveals Joybee GP2 Mini Projector

BenQ recently introduced the next generation of its popular mini-projector, the BenQ Joybee GP2. The GP2, building on the success of its predecessor, features the same black and white housing with the addition of a plethora of enhancements, including an intuitive user interface, 720p HD video quality, short-throw projection, integrated iPhone/iPod dock, optional three-hour battery pack and a ton of connectivity options.

The Joybee GP2 is perfect for on-the-go projection and the simple plug-n-play operation and 200 ANSI lumen brightness allow users to share HD-quality presentations, videos, photos and games on a 160" cinematic display. In addition to that, dedicated iPhone/iPod controls also include a remote control in order to make using the devices in conjunction with the projector simple and easy. The G2 also comes with a new carrying case that features dedicated pockets for the power adapter and other peripherals.

This device is also packed with multimedia connectivity, including USB and SD card viewers, a document viewer and mini-HDMI output for tablets and smartphones. In addition to that, a USB display feature allows you to connect your projector to your computer via USB cable, no driver required, while the USB file transfer function allows you to transfer multimedia files to the projector's 2GB of on-board memory storage.

According to President of BenQ America Corporation Lars Yoder, "By incorporating features and benefits that mobile customers value, the BenQ Joybee GP2 creates a unique combination of performance and flexibility. Simply put, for consumers interested in presenting, sharing and entertaining, the GP2 Projector offers an experience like no other mini-projector."

The BenQ Joybee GP2 projector is now available for an MSRP of $549 and will also be on display at the upcoming 2012 International CES at the BenQ Hilton Suite 29-105 if you want some hands-on time with it.

BenQ Introduces 2 New HD Projectors

BenQ, one of the leaders in projector production, has recently started shipping two new HD DLP "cinema" projectors which BenQ says are perfect for "high-rise dwellers". It is still unclear as to why the new W1100 and W1200 are perfect for multi-dwelling media rooms, however, they both feature full HD 108p resolutions, a 12-lens optical system and built-in dual 10-watt speakers that have SRS Wow HD sound technology.

These two projectors are not exactly the same. The W1100 is a 2,000-lumens projector that has a native 4,500:1 contrast ratio as well as a full 10-bit color processor. On the other hand we have the W1200 with its 1,800-lumens and a native 5,000:1 contrast ratio. The W1200 also has the same 10-bit color processor as the W1100 but comes with Advanced Color Wheel Coating technology in order to boost color saturation.

If you are really into using a projector for all of your home theater needs, then the built-in 10-watt speakers are probably not going to cut it for you. However, BenQ says, "MDU developers can now provide their residents with immersive sound right out of the box without the additional expense of add-on sound systems."

The good news is that both the W1100 and the W1200 are pretty affordable, for everything you get, at $1,199 and $1,499 respectively. However, BenQ is running a temporary special discount on the W1100. BenQ's website is giving a $200 rebate if you use the promotional code W1100$$. This drops the price to $999. Check out BenQ's website for all the details.

BenQ's New SP890 Installation Projector

BenQ is one of the biggest names in the projector manufacturing industry by far, and they always have a tendency to come up with some really great products in a wide variety of styles and uses. The company's newest projector comes in the form of the new SP890 installation projector which is specifically designed to be used in somewhat larger venues like conference halls or auditoriums.

Like most of BenQ's products, the SP890 is packed with a ton of awesome features and good specs that make it a worthwhile device. The SP890 has full HD and HQV picture quality with full 1080p HD as well as 4000 ANSI lumens brightness. The SP890 also has a 50,000:1 contrast ratio and an optical zoom of 1.5X. These specs make it the perfect type of projector to use in large venues such as business meetings and trade shows or even in a large college classroom.

According to BenQ, the SP890 offers five times more detail than your average 480p projectors. The projector has HQV processing which is very sophisticated. This renders HD video in true 1080p HD quality. BenQ also added that lower resolution video sources including 480i (digital and analog) will be automatically converted by the SP890 allowing it to achieve full HD picture quality.

This projector uses BrilliantColorT Technology. This offers users a high-speed, 6-segment color wheel. The color wheel delivers a great deal of balance between your projector's brightness and color levels. With the SP890's horizontal and vertical lens shift features, 1.5X zoom and independent color management, it is safe to say that the SP890 is one of the top projectors currently in the installation projector market.
