The BenQ company, formerly known as Acer Communications & Multimedia
Group, is one of the top manufacturers of digital projectors on the
market. You have several options when choosing a BenQ projector: DLP
projectors and HDTV projectors, micro projectors, professional
projectors, projectors for home use, palm-sized projectors, and much
more. Many of the digital projector machines can translate on-screen
text into 10 different languages or more and feature surprisingly quiet
(40 decibels or less) operation.
A digital light processing (DLP) projector is a popular choice for
both business and home use. A digital projector uses enhanced digital
technology to produce superior picture quality. The DLP machines from
BenQ are purported to never lose quality over time and they utilize a
minimum of 2000 ANSI Lumens for supreme brightness and clarity. They
range in price from just under $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the model
you're interested in.
At only nine inches high, the four-pound PB 2240 DLP projector is
small and compact. It is ideal for travel and offers a 2,000:1
ultra-high contrast ratio to provide clear projection quality. As well,
the lamp life is 3,000 hours--relatively high, but keep in mind that
Economy Mode must be used to extend the lamp life.
HDTV Digital Projector
BenQ also offers HDTV compatibility with solid picture quality. Most of
BenQ's DLP projector models can function as HDTV digital projector as
well. Coupled with the built-in P-scan (Progressive Scan) function,
units like the PE8700 for home theater use can easily translate HDTV
onto your screen.
