The BenQ SP870 is the bright choice for meetings with a powerful 5000 lumen lamp that lets you keep the lights on during use without detracting from the viewing experience. A dark room might be good for watching a movie, but it doesn't work so well for meetings or other occasions where participants need to take notes or consult printed documents. The SP870 is designed for just such situations, rendering a spectacularly vivid and richly colored picture--even with the lights on.

The high 2000:1 contrast ratio means fine details and subtle color differences are rendered vividly even in darkly lit scenes. The extraordinarily bright picture is complemented by image enhancement technologies such as BenQ's exclusive BrilliantColor, 3D color management, and UNISHAPE. There is even wall color correction to ensure excellent color rendition even on non-standard projection surfaces such as walls or blackboards.

3D ColorManagement
3D color management lets users fine-tune the hue, saturation, and gain of primary colors to achieve the exact picture quality desired
High Contrast Ratio
The high 2000:1 contrast ratio means fine details and subtle color differences are rendered vividly even in darkly lit scenes
Power On/Off Tone
To let you know when the projector has warmed up and is ready for use, or when it has cooled down after use, a handy alert tone is available, so you don't have to inspect indicators visually
Presentation Timer
An on-screen timer helps users run presentations smoothly, while keeping the audience's attention focused on the show and not their watches
Panel Key Lock
Locking down the keypad puts an end to the embarrassment and disruption of accidentally pressing a control button and activating the associated function during a presentation
QuickAuto Search
This feature automatically detects when a video source is connected, for plug-and-play simplicity that will get you up and running with a presentation without hassles
Wall Color Correction
Wall color correction provides automatic optimization for different surfaces, such as a classroom blackboard, that might be used to display content instead of a regular projector screen
Quick Cooling
Cooling time itself has been reduced by over 60%, saving your time and minimizing the risk of heat damage to sensitive internal components
MyScreen
The MyScreen software makes it a snap to create a custom start-up screen, like a photo or a company logo, for an impressive special touch

      We use the BenQ in our church sanctuary. The projector is bright, colorful, quiet, and projects a large image. WE have it stationed 24 feet and project on a wall - works perfect. Nothing negative to say about it at all!

        This was the projector I needed for a great price. Can't find a projector with 5000Lumens for under $2k hardly anywhere.

          Two BenQ SP870s replaced our old sanctuary projectors...wow, what a difference. The SP870s have 5000 lumens of beautiful brightness!! And the clarity is remarkable. This model isn't 'technically' HD, but videos/clips look crisp on our 10' x 12' screens with the house lights up!

              I bought this projector to replace a 3K lumen projector is our church. The light output is great for our 200 person capacity room. I love the price, power, and even the menus are easy to understand. Plus the remote's IR signal is strong and works far away.

                Extremely bright projector for the price. Can use in rooms with excess ambient light without a problem. However, cannot use alternative lenses and so throw ratio is very limited. Good for small rooms and small screen applications.

                This projector was easy to install and is one of the most powerful lumens) I've ever seen. The manual is great (infortunately you have to print it off of a disk). The only difficulty is that I have still not figured out how to register the projector on-line or otherwise.

                    We use this product to display words for church services we have very bight lights shinning on the stage area where these screens are. With these projectors we get a clean crisp view of the words being displayed. Works get for video as well.
