Short-Throw Advantage: Big Screens in Small Spaces
Traditional projectors require significant distance to cast large images, often limiting use in smaller rooms. The BenQ 4K short-throw design allows users to project 100-inch+ displays from just a few feet away, eliminating placement restrictions and offering unmatched flexibility.
Immersive Visuals with HDR and Wide Color Support
The projector integrates HDR10 and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) formats to enhance contrast and detail in both streaming and broadcast content. Combined with DLP laser technology, viewers experience:
Vivid colors with deeper blacks
Higher brightness suitable for ambient light conditions
Consistent image quality without lamp degradation
This makes it ideal for cinema-like movie watching, sports streaming, and next-gen gaming.
Enhanced Gaming Capabilities with HDMI 2.1
BenQ has tailored this projector to meet the rising demands of gamers. Equipped with HDMI 2.1, it supports low latency modes, 120Hz refresh rates, and variable refresh rate (VRR), ensuring smooth gameplay on modern consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Gamers benefit from:
Responsive input lag under 16ms
Crisp motion handling with 4K 120Hz output
Full HDR color reproduction during gameplay
Built-In Audio and Smart Features
The projector integrates powerful onboard speakers enhanced by Dolby Atmos compatibility for a theater-like soundstage without requiring external systems. However, for audiophiles, connectivity to external soundbars or AV receivers remains available.
Smart integration also includes:
Wireless screen mirroring (iOS, Android, Windows)
Streaming apps compatibility via HDMI dongles
Voice assistant support for seamless control
Long-Term Durability with Laser Technology
Unlike traditional lamp projectors that require frequent bulb replacements, the laser-based light source in this BenQ model ensures 20,000 to 30,000 hours of usage. This translates to years of uninterrupted entertainment with consistent brightness and color fidelity.
Use Cases: From Living Rooms to Professional Spaces
The new projector is not only a home theater centerpiece but also adaptable to:
Compact apartments where space is limited
Office environments requiring high-resolution presentations
Gaming setups demanding low-latency, high-refresh visuals
Outdoor entertainment with high brightness performance
Competitive Edge Against Rivals
Compared to rivals like Epson, Optoma, and LG CineBeam, BenQ’s new 4K short-throw laser projector offers a strong balance of affordability, technical specifications, and versatility. The inclusion of HDMI 2.1, laser longevity, and true short-throw convenience gives it a distinct advantage in the rapidly expanding projector market.
