Specifications

With the BenQ MP522 ST you can go and show just about anywhere in the world. It can handle power from 100 to 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. (Optional alternative power cord may be required.)

Its OSD (on screen display) can be switched between English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Dutch, Turkish, Czech, Portuguese, Thai and Polish.

And the MP522 ST can process and display video signals in NTSC (the North American TV standard), NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL-60, SECAM and more than a dozen PC and Mac resolutions. Of course if your programming source provides closed captioning this projector can process and display modes CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4.

But the MP522 ST has virtues beyond its flexibility. Economical mode lowers fan noise to below that of a whispered conversation and extends bulb life by a third. Auto Off saves money too. A built in FAQ button projects answers to frequently asked questions right on the screen. And Wall Color Correction corrects the color when you don't have a screen and have to project on to a painted wall or blackboard.

In short, if you can find a place on earth where the MP522 ST won't get the job done, just bring a sharp stick and draw pictures in the dirt (or icepack) to give your presentation.

• 2000 ANSI Lumens and a 1000:1 Contrast Ratio: With that much brightness and contrast you're assured you'll see vivid, sharp and pure colors every time you use your MP522 ST.

• High Definition HDMI and Component Video Ports: Sure the MP522 ST can do a PowerPoint show from a PC but it's also a great high definition display if you have an HD source like an HDTV or Blu-ray disc player.

• XGA (1024 x 768) Native Resolution Plus More: XGA is a very popular resolution but it's not always the right one. So the MP522 ST supports more than a dozen other PC and Macintosh resolutions too.

• Super Quiet Operation And Long Lamp Life in Economical Mode: BenQ has engineered fan noise down to a whisper quiet 31 db in Normal mode and an amazing 26 dB in Economical mode. Likewise the very respectable 3000 hour average lamp life in Normal mode is extended out to 4000 hours in Economical Mode.

• Texas Instruments DLP Image Panel With BrilliantColor: TI's patented DLP imager features an innovation it calls BrilliantColor. Unlike other technologies such as LCD which use just three primary colors to produce the image, DLP Technology with BrilliantColor uses up to six separate colors.
Color accuracy is paramount to a quality image. BrilliantColor not only improves color accuracy, it brightens secondary colors as well. This combination produces a new level of color performance that increases the brightness of the colors by up to 50% over DLP projectors without BrilliantColor for accurate, true-to-life images.

• 3-D Color Management: With 3-D Color Management you can individually manage not just three colors (red, green and blue) but six: RGB plus Magenta, Cyan and Yellow. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it. It's typically used in permanent home theater installations by experienced videophiles and technicians who have the equipment (a test disc and a device called a colorimeter) to tune colors to the most exacting standards.

• Wall Color Correction and 11 Picture Modes: Of course not everyone has a cool home theater. Sometimes you don't even have a decent screen, just a bare wall. The MP522 ST can correct for four wall colors and to projecting onto a blackboard to bring you a more true to life image. In addition there are a total of 11 picture modes, like Dynamic, for playing video games and Cinema, which is best for watching movies in a darkened room.

• Presentation Timer: Tired of listening to subordinates and vendors drone on and on during their over-prepared, statistics-laden presentations? Invite them to use your MP522 ST and set the Presentation Timer to your liking, say five or ten minutes. You're unlikely to lose much important information but you'll gain a whole lot of time.

• Quick Auto Search Finds the Active Input Fast: You often might have multiple inputs plugged in to the projector. Select Quick Auto Search and it will automatically switch to the one that's got the live signal.

• Short Throw Lens for Big Pictures in Tight Spaces: A short throw lens, simply put, can project a larger picture from a shorter distance from the screen. They're ideal for smaller conference rooms, classrooms and living rooms. Short throw lenses are also preferred for rear projection setups where space behind the screen is at a premium. For example, The MP522 ST can project an image that's six feet diagonally from a distance of only 4' 4" from the screen.
