BenQ Combines Performance and Affordability in ‘M6 Series’ Projectors Release

03-05-2013
New Entry-Level Projector Line Brings 13000:1 Contrast Ratios, Up to 3,500 ANSI Lumens of Brightness, and SmartEco™ Technology to Business, Education, and Home Space
 
TORONTO — March 5, 2013 — BenQ Canada Corp., an internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations and global DLP® projector leader, today introduced its new M6 Series of advanced business, education, and home projectors. The product line comprised of the MX618ST, MX662, and MW663 models feature superior contrast ratios of 13000:1, up to 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness, and BenQ’s world-leading SmartEco™ technology to cut energy consumption by up to 70 percent. In addition to high-performance features, the projectors include wireless connectivity options, mobile device integration when paired with BenQ’s Qpresenter app for the iPhone® and iPad®, hassle-free maintenance and security, and short-throw capabilities (MX618ST) to provide flexible setups in any setting.
 
Designed for corporate, classroom, and personal spaces, the MX618ST short-throw projector combines installation flexibility with multimedia performance to bring quality video to rooms of all sizes. With XGA native resolution, 10W of big speaker sound, and wireless connectivity for “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) scenarios, the MX618ST offers a simple way to create immersive content with full-out A/V control. For more brightness in classroom and boardroom settings, the MX662 provides 3,500 ANSI lumens of light while the MW663 shines at 3,000 ANSI lumens with widescreen WXGA native resolution for larger-frame projections.
 
“BenQ’s new M6 Series projectors are made to provide customers with the most complete A/V experience at the lowest possible price,” said Mike Booker, Vice President of Sales at BenQ Canada Corp. “With advanced features such as wireless connectivity, six segment color wheel picture performance, and the power-saving capabilities of BenQ’s SmartEco technology, we’re enabling users to enjoy powerful, cost-effective projection within any of today’s multipurpose media environments.”
 
For added flexibility, the BenQ M6 Series features wireless display options for cable-free connection to content sources. When paired with BenQ’s Qpresenter app for the iPhone and iPad, users can transfer files from their handheld iOS devices directly to the projection screen to create a complete BYOD experience. For PC-less presentations, users can insert USB drives for instant plug-and-play which speeds up classroom and boardroom presentations and provides more seamless content connectivity to home theater setups. To protect investments, all M6 Series projectors come equipped with clips for Kensington locks and provide top lamp doors for hassle-free lamp replacement.
 
With BenQ’s SmartEco technology, users gain the same brightness, features, and performance at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). For instance, in “Smart Eco” mode, projectors automatically adjust lamp power by up to 70 percent in order to use just the right amount of brightness needed. The result is an astounding 6,500 hours of lamp life without any compromise to picture quality. To further reduce power consumption, an “Eco Blank” mode allows teachers or presenters to blank out the screen whenever projection isn’t needed while a “No Source Detected” mode automatically lowers brightness to 30 percent when no display has been detected for more than three minutes. An audio pass-through function also preserves lamp life by enabling only sound when projectors are on standby.
 
Available now, the BenQ MX618ST, MX662, and MW663 retail at $899 (CAD), $799 (CAD), and $799 (CAD) respectively. More information on BenQ’s M6 Series projectors and the full line of BenQ products is available at https://www.benq.ca/.
