BenQ MS614 Projector
The BenQ MS614 is a comprehensive projector, flexible enough for most applications. It offers plenty of control, letting you easily navigate menu screens to change settings. To ensure you'll have smooth presentations and adaptability, the MS614 has integrated various display functions and multiple inputs. It's highlighted by SVGA resolution, a brightness of 2700 ANSI Lumens and a 5000:1 contrast ratio. Considering the MS614 has features that ensure high-quality picture performance in several conditions, it's hard to think of an application that would be out of its range.
The display is enhanced by several features including BrilliantColor technology, which uses a five-segment color wheel to reproduce a rich and accurate palette of crisp colors. The Wall Color Correction adjusts the color to get the optimum picture quality when projecting on a background that is not totally white. The MS614 is also prepared for presentations and entertainment that require 3D technology. With 3D capabilities, it can project images in life-like 3D and make your entertainment more exciting and your presentations more interactive.
Using the HDMI connection for 3D is ideal, but BenQ has integrated several inputs, control terminals and audio jacks with the MS614. Besides HDMI connectivity, you can use the RCA, S-video and component video inputs. Network connection is achievable through the RS232 terminal. The dual PC inputs give you the power to connect multiple computers to one projector, which is a plus for presentations. The more options you have, the more you'll get out of each presentation. The audio jacks facilitate mic input and audio output to an external source. There is also a 2W stereo speaker built-in to the projector which is loud enough for most presentations.
The USB terminals offer several conveniences. They allow you to give PC-less presentations through a USB flash drive. They also offer plug-and-play possibilities and extension support for simultaneous multi-projection display. With an optional BenQ wireless adapter you can also use the USB port to display presentations from your computer wirelessly and execute centralized network control via WLAN connectivity.
For teachers, BenQ has instituted a teaching template function. Aiding educators with four pre-programmed line pattern designs, the template eliminates the need to waste class-time drawing lines for charts, tables, music, etc. The four different designs are projected on your whiteboard and students can easily write music or do work along the lines supplied by the teaching template.
Also great for teachers, the built-in closed caption decoder converts words into subtitles. The subtitles are projected onto the screen, addressing the needs of language students and hearing-impaired viewers. The MS614 is also equipped with a quick cooling option, high altitude mode and MyScreen technology that lets you individualize title screens with your own pictures or video. With so many features and display improvements, the MS614 is a versatile and flexible projector that can be used as an educational tool, but it is adaptable enough to fit seamlessly into your home theater as well.

- Thoughtful Teaching Template Design
- To make your teaching job easier, BenQ has added the teaching template function. With four different line pattern designs to choose from, you can easily write or draw on whiteboards as well as blackboards without the need of drawing lines or charts. Letter Formation, Musical Staff, Worksheet and Coordinate Chart are the four pattern designs
- High Altitude Mode
- The MS614 has an option for operating under more extreme conditions. To prevent shut-off in harsher environment and at elevation, switch to high altitude mode
- Closed Captioning
- You can display subtitles in video content without the need for an external closed-captioning device. It's perfect for viewing in educational settings such as language classes where a transcript of onscreen dialog is desirable

Comments about BenQ MS614 Projector:
I took the projector out the box, Easy hookup and an explosion of high definition color, crisp lines. I believe I have an 80" screen, all I know is its huge. I hooked up my stereo which produces movie like sounds. I don't even watch my 50" plasma anymore. This projector has still frame capture and pip. Can't beat this for the price. This is a awesome buy.

Comments about BenQ MS614 Projector:
We bought this as a back-up unit for when my team gets kicked out of the main conference room. I like that we can stash it in a file cabinet, without taking up much space, and set it up quickly on my desk, thereby turning my office into a quick conference room.

Comments about BenQ MS614 Projector:
The projector is easy and straightforward to use, light and compatible and can easily be transported for use in different venues. I am using it even with all the lights on and still get a clear projection on the screen. This is excellent where the projector has to be used where the venue cannot be darkened. It can be switched off immediately and can be used at high altitudes. The sound is not good enough, but even small loudspeakers can easily be connected.

Comments about BenQ MS614 Projector:
We use this product for indoor team building presentations and programs. We often need to present information or videos in a conference room with all the lights on and needed a projector that would still produce a strong, bright image and this projector does just that. It is also very flexible with the input and output connections to use it with other systems such as gaming consoles which is great for us. The only feature that I think would be a good addition is a TV Tuner which would allow us to use it more personally. [...]
