BenQ Comes Out with Four New Mainstream Projectors

Although it's been through quite a tough time lately, the BenQ company managed to survive, to some extent, after pulling off all sorts of maneuvers, spin-offs and so on. Right now, the former BenQ has become a branded company, after the separation from Qisda Corporation and perhaps in order to mark their newfound "life", it has come up with several interesting products, including no less than 4 mainstream projectors, namely the MP612/MP612c and MP622/MP622c models.

The first 2 models, namely the MP612/MP612c, are marketed by the company as very good solutions for small and medium size meeting rooms and home offices. Both devices provide 2,500/2,200 ANSI Lumens brightness, respectively, an 800 x 600 SVGA native resolution, super quiet fan noise design and a 2,000:1 high contrast ratio.

Other important features provided by the two projectors are a 3D color management system, which offers adjustments to red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow independently for hue, saturation, and value, as well as a Golden Ratio Wheel incorporated inside the projectors that further balances true color saturation and maximizes color accuracy for crystal-clear, vivid image reproduction. Moreover, the projectors provide a Wall Color Correction function that corrects the output colors in accordance with the color of the wall on which the image is projected, as well as a panel key lock to prevent unauthorized use, a quick automatic search function that simultaneous detects input sources within two seconds, a presentation timer to keep the presentation running efficiently and a lamp door located on the upper side of the housing that allows users to replace the lamp easily when the projector is mounted to the ceiling.

The second group of models presented by BenQ includes the MP622 and MP622c units, which are considered to be business projectors and provide a brightness level of around 2700 and 2200 ANSI lumens, respectively, a 1024 x 768 XGA resolution, a super quiet noise level at 26 dB in economy mode and a stylish midnight black high gloss exterior. Both projectors provide pretty much the same features offered by the MP612/MP612c pair, with the major difference that they have a whole new cooling system and design, which makes them cool a lot better, while generating a much lower noise level. Moreover, the MP622 and MP622c come bundled with four application modes for PC input and three application modes for AV input as well as two personalized modes, providing optimal settings under any scenarios.

Unfortunately, the people over at BenQ have not provided any pricing information for these products, but they did inform us that they'll hit the market later on this year, the MP612/MP612c arriving by the end of September.
