BenQ has aggressively released two models of projectors, the BenQ SP870 and BenQ SP831 projectors. The SP870 features 5000 ANSI lumen while the SP831 has 4000 ANSI lumen, both include numerous advancements that optimize lamp output for exceptional color, clarity and brilliance that amaze even in full lights-on environments. Apart the high-lumen specification, BenQ aims to set new industry expectations as well with models that are considerably lighter, smaller and more affordable, while still including premium features such as BrilliantColor? Technology, Hollywood Quality Video? (HQV?) processing and Split-Screen functionality.

Ideal for the largest venues such as lecture halls, auditoriums, board rooms and museums, the SP870 and SP831 combine high lumen count with BenQ?s projector expertise for superior picture quality without compromise, even in full lights-on settings. Both models pair high lumen output with an outstanding 2000:1 contrast ratio, rendering fine details such as text, data, spreadsheets and charts in razor-sharp clarity and precise color ? a priority for business, education and government applications. Audiences will also appreciate the projectors? extreme lights-on brightness that facilitates note-taking, movement and multiple activities.

Both the SP870 and SP831 utilize BenQ?s advanced golden ratio color wheel designs and BrilliantColor Technology for color fidelity and vibrancy that impress far beyond the regular 3-color capabilities of conventional projectors. The company?s current and upcoming high-brightness models also utilize Texas Instruments? DLP technology for amplified native contrast ratios and higher fill factor. The benefits are seen in sharper, cleaner, easier-to-read details and more stunning color intensity. The SP831 employs a 6-segment color wheel; the SP870 uses a 5-segment color wheel.

The 5000 ANSI lumen SP870 comes with convenience features such as Presentation Timer, Quick Auto Source (the industry?s fastest source detection), 30-second Quick Cooling, Lamp Care, Wall Color Correction and Blackboard Mode allow users to focus on a perfect presentation instead of fumbling with setup. User operation is further enhanced with the SP870?s Wired Remote and 12V Trigger. The smart Wired Remote enables confident control of the SP870 without unexpectedly interfering with other projectors or devices in the same room ? an essential feature for large auditoriums that house several projectors, screens, and other supporting devices. The 12V Trigger enables seamless integration of external devices like motorized screen. The SP870 further elevates high-brightness pleasure with 3D Color Management. Users can dictate complete color customization by independently adjusting hues, gain and saturations levels of all colors without compromising each other. If a scene contains an apple, a blueberry, a banana and green grapes, users can intensify the apple?s red hue without affecting the colors of the other fruits. The SP870 has a native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution.

The 4000 ANSI lumen SP831 offers Split Screen for heightened productivity and convenience by displaying two different information sources simultaneously. With WXGA resolution, the SP831 can equally split the screen into two side-by-side sections that are each 640×768 (for a combined 1280×768). Images can be either still, video, or both. Additionally, HQV processing elevates standard definition images to high definition quality via advanced de-interlacing, noise reduction and scaling techniques. High-impact, richly-colored presentations are made possible by full 10-bit color processing and Independent Color Management. BenQ?s ultra-brightness projectors also include smart appointments tailored to large corporate, education, government and public display customers. Password Function and Panel Keypad Lock provide peace of mind and security. Auto-Off and a filter-free design reduce power consumption and costs associated with filter replacement and cleaning, which appeal to customers sensitive to total cost of ownership. HDCP and HDTV compatibility, numerous preset modes and Windows® Vista? Basic certification expand versatility. At 10lbs. and 10.8lbs, the SP831 and SP870, respectively, are as much as 70% lighter than competitor models in the same lumen category.

The SP831 and SP870 are now available worldwide.
