It's Back...BenQ DLP Projector £199.99


£199.99

243°

FOUND BY: Jonnym 1 year, 6 months ago

This was on a while back and a few people missed it, but now its back!!...

The spec isn't going to blow you away but it's still a decent piece of kit for a first home cinema setup...

Premium Branded DLP Projector

Native SVGA (800 x 600) resolution

2100 ANSI lumens

Contrast Ratio: 2000:1

16.7 Million Colours

2000 / 3000 Hours Lamp Life

Projection Position: Front/Rear, Table/Ceiling

3D colour management in this premium branded projector means you can adjust red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow independently for hue, saturation and value

Wall Colour Correction: This amazing feature makes it easy to get excellent picture quality with accurate colour rendition even projecting onto a wall or other surface by automatically compensating for its colour

Presentation Timer: An on-screen timer helps users run presentations with professional ease, while keeping the audience's attention focused on what's onscreen and not their watches

I have a £700 projector (well it was a year ago) and it doesn't have a scart connection...I don't think you would honestly use it if it did...

I'll maintain that this is perfectly viable for a first home cinema setup...

You dont get scarts on projectors these days.

800x600 is more than dvd resolution (I think).

Voted hot, scart can be converted from over connections (easy) format and resolution doesn't really matter as it VERY cheap, wouth it.

Of course the resolution matters.

You will get black bars top and bottom playing any DVD other than a full screen one. And playing a 2.35:1 aspect ratio DVD will give you less than 50% of the screen actually displaying video. Other than that could will zoom in, which at that resolution and at that size will not be good.

If this was 16:9 format it would be fine, but 4:3 is really bad for DVD etc.

It says in the spec:


Resolution (Maximum)
SXGA ( 1280 x 1024 dpi)

Resolution (Native)
SVGA ( 800 x 600 dpi)

Picture format
4:3 (Native) • 16:9 HD Compatible


So, I'm sure it will play DVD's at the required resolution if it says it does 16:9? Ok, it's not native but it at least does it.

Off course it can play it.

Theres only one way of putting a 2.35:1 widescreen DVD onto a 4:3 source and thats by putting huge stonking black bars top and bottom. Exactly the same as it does on your old 4:3 portable CRT.

Black bars ?!

It's a projector - it can't produce black !

16:9 content works perfectly, because the "black bars" are transparent - you just see the 16:9 picture on your screen. It's the same width as 4:3 content, but obviously it has less height.

DVDs on this will look just fine.

Don't worry about the lack of SCART - it's got Component inputs instead.
