BenQ MP626 DLP Projector
Key Features
  • 2500 ANSI Lumens
  • 3000:1 Contrast Ratio
  • XGA (1024 x 786) Native Resolution
  • 720p 1080i, 1080p High Definition
The BenQ MP626 DLP Projector, with its 2500 ANSI lumens and 3000:1 contrast ratio, works just as well in a home media room as it does in the classroom, meeting room or lecture hall.

And with this projector 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. Its onscreen display offers 24 languages to choose from.

The MP626 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 two dozen PC and Mac resolution/frequency pairs. Of course if your programming source provides closed captioning this projector can process and display modes CC1, CC2, CC3 and CC4.

It can also project in 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition and those signals will stay in pure digital form from their source to the projector thanks to the MP626's HDMI v 1.3 port.

But the MP626 has virtues beyond its flexibility. Economical mode lowers fan noise to below that of a whispered conversation and extends lamp life too. Auto Off also saves money. 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 a wall or blackboard.

Perhaps the MP626's most exciting feature is that it's 3-D ready, thanks to its Texas Instruments Digital Light Processor Digital Micromirror Device (DLP DMD) display panel. (That's the part that creates the image). Those millions of microscopic mirrors operate so fast that they can project one image for each eye, making 3-D in your home and office a reality.

You bring the 3-D glasses and programming. Your projector is ready to bring you everything from fantastic scientific visualizations to stunning 3-D movies.

2500 ANSI Lumens and a 3000:1 Contrast Ratio
That's plenty of projection power for presentations in a large classroom, lecture hall or meeting room or watching a DVD or Blu-ray disc in your media room, even with a fair amount of ambient light.
Texas Instruments DLP DMD With BrilliantColor Technology
BenQ projectors were the first to adopt BrilliantColor technology. It's not hard to understand why. BrilliantColor increases color accuracy while it increases color brightness by up to 50 percent over DLP projectors without it. BrilliantColor provides accurate, true-to-life images because in addition to red green and blue, its spectrum includes their complements: cyan, magenta and yellow. What's more, DLP projectors require no filters that have to be periodically cleaned and replaced.
Excel with VIDI (Unishape) Superior Image Projection
To ensure the best possible image quality for all presentations no matter the setting or content, BenQ worked closely with Philips and Texas Instruments to create VIDI (Unishape)—a sophisticated lamp lighting technology that dynamically adapts lamp output to each image/scene with millisecond precision to optimize brightness, color correction, and dark detail definition.
Customize With 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.
3-D Ready For Immersive Educational, Scientific, Gaming and Entertainment Viewing
If you've seen a recent 3-D film in a movie theater, chances are the 3-D effect was generated by a DLP Cinema projector. That same, basic technology has been applied to the MP626. DLP technology uses millions of digital microscopic mirrors (DMDs) that reflect light to create a stunning picture. This imaging technology is so fast, it can actually produce two images on the screen at the same time: One for the left eye and one for the right eye. Then 3-D glasses combine the two images to create an amazing 3-D effect. This projector is ready for the revolution. All you need to add is 3-D glasses and 3-D programming that can include lessons developed for 3-D, 3-D games and 3-D movies.
Internationally Operational
The MP626 has a 100 - 240 V AC, auto switching power supply and the ability to accept and project video in the NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, SECAM standards. In addition to its native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution the MP626 can sync with more than two dozen other PC and Macintosh resolutions. And its onscreen display offers a choice of 24 languages making this projector a great choice no matter where in the world you are.
Network Ready With an RJ45 Jack
You can easily connect your MP626 to your LAN via the projector's RJ45 (Ethernet) jack. The projector has its own HTTP page for remote monitoring and control from anywhere on your network. Its internal Web page has buttons that function the same way the ones on the remote control and onscreen display (OSD). If you're a network administrator and would like to manage multiple devices through one interface you can download Crestron's compatible and free Roomview software.
Quick Auto Search Finds the Active Input Fast
You often might have multiple inputs plugged in to the projector. With Quick Auto Search activated it will automatically switch to the one that's got the live signal.
FAQ Button Answers Your Questions On Screen
Many Web sites have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page but have you ever heard of a FAQ button on a projector's remote control? Just press it and with a few more clicks you can read either the Image and Installation FAQ or the Features and Service FAQ right on screen.
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 MP626 and set the Presentation Timer to your liking, say five or ten minutes. You're unlikely to lose much important information and you'll gain a whole lot of time.
Wall Color Correction
Don't worry if you don't have a projector screen handy. BenQ has studied the most commonly used paint colors and developed easy-to-use Wall Color Correction technology so that you can project almost anywhere and still get the precise color performance you need.
Variable Audio Out
A powerful 10-watt speaker provides volume needed for large rooms. But if it's not enough, variable audio out enables you to use the remote to adjust the volume of self-powered external speakers (not supplied) that you can connect to the projector.
Closed Captioning
The MP626 can display Closed Captioning from programming sources that provide it. Closed Captioning was developed to make TV more enjoyable and useful for the hard of hearing but it also comes in handy for those learning English as a second language.
