Long Lamp Life
Enjoy a lamp life performance of up to 6000 hours - twice the lamp life expectancy of average projector lamps on the market. This certainly lowers the number of lamp changes and keeps all maintenance to a minimum
Reliable Picture Quality with True-to-Life Color Performance
BenQ projectors that use DLP technology are virtually immune to color decay - the yellow/green tint that some projector images develop over extended periods of usage. This is one technological advantage that you'll get to enjoy - year after year
Filter-Free Design
BenQ DLP projectors feature a filter-free design which could reduce the need for filter cleaning and filter replacement. This reduces the labor as well as the budget for filter maintenance and replacement
2700 ANSI Lumens
A 2700 ANSI lumens projection lamp ensures great viewing even in a location with low ambient light. The MX501 is ideal for a small-sized meeting room with under 25 people
Sharpen Up with High Contrast Ratios
The MX501 boasts a high contrast ratio with 4000:1. High contract ratios translate to razor-sharp detail definition and a broader range of subtle color differences, which makes text sharper, cleaner, and easier to read

MX501 is equipped with 3D projection technology to bring you the same amazing 3D effects you get in 3D movies. Offered for no added cost, the 3D feature on 3D-ready BenQ projectors gives your audience an immersive real-life experience. All you have to do is add the 3D glasses, content and video card along with the MX501
