BenQ MP525P DLP Projector

TI's patented DLP imager features an innovation it calls BrilliantColor. Unlike other technologies such as LCD that use just three primary colors to produce the image, DLP Technology with BrilliantColor uses up to six separate colors. BrilliantColor not only improves color accuracy, it brightens secondary colors as well. This combination increases the brightness of the colors by up to 50 percent over DLP projectors without BrilliantColor for accurate, true-to-life images.

The MP525P also has four picture modes specialized for brightly lit rooms, presentations, viewing photos and watching movies plus two "user" modes that allow you to save your own picture preferences.

Exclusive BenQ 3D Color Management enables you to fine-tune color intensity to meet your preference. 3D Color Management lets you independently adjust the hue, grain, and saturation levels of all six color wheel tones (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow) without colors compromising each other.

But the MP525P can do lots more than make beautiful pictures. For one thing, it can make them all over the world. It's got an international auto switching 100 - 240 volt 50/60 Hz auto switching power supply that draws only 275 watts. That drops to less than one watt in standby mode. The MP525P can project video in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM international video standards too.

And speaking of international, its OSD (on-screen display) offers your choice of 24 languages. The MP525P and handle 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition projection and it's also compatible with a couple dozen Macintosh and PC resolution/sync rates. It can also display closed captioning from programming sources that provide them.

With all of those possible inputs you may find that you have multiple sources plugged into your MP525P at the same time. With Auto Input Search activated it will automatically switch to the one that's got the live signal.

Economical mode lowers fan noise to below that of a whispered conversation and extends bulb life by 33 percent. Auto Off saves money too. A built in FAQ button projects answers to frequently asked questions right on the screen. And Wall Color Correction corrects the color when you don't have a screen and have to project on a wall or blackboard.

This projector has beautiful images in its blood. BenQ was the first company to use BrilliantColor technology in its projectors. With 2500 ANSI lumens at a 2600:1 contrast ratio those images will be vivid, detailed and true-to-life even if you can't achieve theater-level darkness in your projection venue.
