blank

The sharp detail and vivid colors from each and every BenQ LCD panel is made up of tiny pixels, and each tiny pixel has three smaller individual red, green and blue pixel. Thus, a single BenQ LCD panel consists of millions of tiny pixels.  
 




During LCD panel manufacturing of BenQ LCD monitors, digital signage or interactive display product, it is not uncommon for pixels to remain "stuck", a phenomenon which an imperfection either a colored pixel which is always ON (bright), or always OFF (dark). This is considered normal and does not affect the overall performance of BenQ display.  
 
For more information, please follow the document on BenQ LCD Monitor Dead Pixel Policy. Should the LCD panel is diagnosed to contain or exceeding the following number of non-conforming pixel (dot) within the duration of Warranty period, the LCD panel is then considered as a defect and can be claimed as Warranty service.

14. Projector Cleaning and General Maintenance  

blank

The Lamp inside the Projector is the primary light source responsible to deiver high brightness projection. The Lamp also emits a high amount of heat and can get warmer with increased brightness as larger output of electricity is necessary. A typical lamp will reach temperature of up to 300 degree celsius.

To ensure the Projector does not overheat, cooling down a Projector mainly involve the use of fans to draw in cool air and exhaust warm air. Airflow for cooling down a Projector mainly involve the use of fans to draw in cool air and exhaust warm air. Airflow for cooling an accumulate dust and other particles over time.

It is important to note after long usage of a Projector that buildup of dust can eventually hinder air circulation adn cause the Projector to overhead. As a safety precaution the Projector can automatically shut down or avoid turning on completely if the Projector detects overheating. Other symptoms include washed out colours or unclear projection. 

How quickly the dust accumulates depends on the operating environment and the settings of the Projector. BenQ suggests to clean the Projector regulatly with a vacuum cleaner from the outside around the vents area. Otherise, it is recommended to clean the Projector whent he equivalent lamp usae hour has reached 50% of its rated total light source life.

When the Projector equivalent lamp usage hour has reached close to its rated total light source life, it is highly recommended to have the Projector cleaned and serviced by a BenQ authorised service provider. There may be a charge for the service depending on the actual condition of the Projector.

BenQ recommend replacing lamps with BenQ geniune lamps.

15. About Projector lamp and equivilent lamp usage hour

blank

Lamps employed in the use of BenQ Projectors are consumable parts. The value expressed in hours represents the minimum equivalent lamp usage hours before the lamp brightness is at half or less of its original brightness, or before the lamp burns out.

It is a normal phenomenon for the projector lamp to decrease brightness over time. Should the performance of the lamp fails to meet the minimum lamp hour, the lamp is considered as a defect and can be claimed as in warranty service.

Industry standard tools and software is used in order to correctly judge the brightness of the lamp. BenQ reserves the right to refuse a warranty claim for repair or replacement of the lamp if the failure does not meet the above condition.

For more information on equivalent lamp hour, handling, maintenance and prolonging the life of lamp and the Projector, please refer to the User Manual of your BenQ Product.
