There is also a high altitude setting and when turned on, the fan noise and an accompanying whine steadily increased up to 51 dBA over about one minute. The Battle of Crait in the Last Jedi was a good test of the HDR, with bright white salt/sand, explosions, and the vivid reds of the underlying minerals. The original BENQ TH685 lamp is a bare bulb from one of the OEM manufacturers (Osram P-VIP, Philips UHP, Ushio, Matsushita, Iwasaki HSCR) and is designed to replace the lamp in your existing lamp housing.

Under lab testing in a soundproof room using the industry-standard multi-point averaged methodology, BenQ measured and rated the fan noise at 35 dBA in Normal lamp mode and 29 dBA in Economic. It measured 2,705 ANSI lumens on our sample, which is just over 77% of the published spec of 3,500 ANSI lumens. While you don’t get that sense of pixel density and extra texture and depth that 4K can provide, pictures look exceptionally clean and crisp for a full HD model.The TH685’s digital vertical lens shift fits perfectly into any room offering a dynamic range of projection heights. The BenQ TW533 video projector distinguishes itself from the rest with higher contrast as well as carefully nuanced colours without reducing the compression scale.

BenQ's LumiExpert, by sensing ambient light and adjusting the gamma, helps to add a bit of depth to the image.
