Product Information

Low Lamp Mode. Compared with the full power mode, Economic mode reduces brightness by about 36%. Two other settings, SmartEco and LampSave, are dynamic power modes that are intended to lenghthen lamp life by adjusting the power level based on scene content. With a standard 100% white image, we measured SmartEco at the same brightness as Normal power mode. LampSave peaked at 1,767 ANSI lumens in Bright mode, just a touch brighter than Economic mode. BenQ says there is no noticeable effect on the image with these modes, nor did we observe any.

Introduction to BenQ Projectors As with virtually all inexpensive home theater projectors we've tested, the brightness variation is easy to see with a 100% white or light colored image. With the projector sitting on a table, brightness is highest at the bottom center of the image, and gradually falls going up and to either side, making the upper left and right corners the dimmest. Those who are particularly sensitive to brightness variations may find this unacceptable. However the difference is hard to see with any image that breaks up the field of view.

I spent several hours streaming Netflix and ESPN on the TH671ST from the Xbox One and was very happy with the performance. I have said it many times in the past, but a live sporting event is truly a great way to show off a projectors capability and expose its limitations. I wasn't surprised after gaming on it that this BenQ does an exceptional job of handling live sports just as well as Blu-Ray movies and streamed movies and TV shows and everything was clean and clear as you would expect.

Those seeking to to improve contrast will want to experiment with the LumiExpert feature. LumiExpert detects the ambient light level and adjusts gamma appropriately for the lighting. You can also turn it off and adjust its setting to make the overall picture a little darker or a little brighter at any given ambient light level. We found that choosing the right setting can significantly increase contrast and the sense of three dimensionality in dark scenes. Factors that affect how long a projector will last include frequency of use, environmental conditions, and how it’s maintained. Fortunately, most modern BenQ DLP projectors use low-maintenance sealed mirror assemblies and long-life LED or laser light sources. Con 3) Smart Projector Setup Can Be Confusing: While BenQ has some very capable smart projector models, some users may have trouble connecting them to their favorite streaming apps. On the plus side, native projector support for Android TV is included in their larger projectors. Why Should You Buy a New BenQ Projector? Cinema and Sport modes, as already mentioned, both deliver good color accuracy by default, and the best accuracy of any of the modes. Game mode straight out of the box is a little cooler than the Cinema and Sport modes, with a whiter white and skin tones that look a little too porcelain in some images.
