Learn moreYes, you can install a third-party app from a USB Flash drive, but it' s not recommended as we cannot guarantee its compatibility with the projector.
Additionally, some apps require Google service (e.g. Skype), and therefore cannot run on the projector.
Explanation
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.
