How can I apply the bi-directional CEC function on the projector?
Regarding the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) functionality on BenQ projectors. We understand your expectation for full bi-directional CEC support. However, after careful consideration of usage scenarios, we have designed our projector to limit CEC control to one-way communication.This approach helps avoid unintended behaviors such as powering on all connected source devices simultaneously when the projector sends a CEC power-on command. In certain setups, this could cause user inconvenience or confusion. Additionally, it is important to note that not all source devices respond consistently to CEC commands—some may ignore power-on signals altogether.We truly appreciate your understanding, and we will continue to work on the possible implementation of bi-directional CEC features in future updates and models. Should you have any further questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out.

Why is some of the color only looks different with monitor output in high-brightness model?
High-brightness projectors are engineered to deliver exceptional luminance, making them ideal for environments with strong ambient light, such as large conference rooms, auditoriums, or outdoor settings.Achieving this high brightness often involves technical trade-offs that can influence color reproduction. For users who are more sensitive to color accuracy, we recommend choosing the medium Lumens projectors with pure RGB color source and high color space such as our W4000i, W2720i and W5850, or you may provide us with the usage scenario and we’ll recommend the most suitable model for you.We continuously strive to improve our products by integrating advanced technologies that enhance both brightness and color accuracy. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our products.
