BenQ Offers New High-Brightness DLP Projector

BenQ SH960.jpgBenQ has announced that its new top-of-the-line SH960 projector will be available in June. With a rated light output of 5,500 ANSI lumens, this high-brightness DLP projector will likely see use primarily in professional applications, but it's also an interesting option for someone who wants the big-screen benefits of projection in an environment that has a fair amount of ambient light.

The SH960 is a 1080p DLP projector with a rated contrast ratio of 3,000:1 and a dual-lamp design that includes a high brightness mode and an eco mode that extends lamp life by 50 percent. Horizontal and vertical lens shift are available, as is BenQ's Wall Color Correction feature that allows users to adjust the projector's output for natural-looking color on a tinted wall. The SH960 will have an MSRP of $6,999.

In other BenQ news, the company recently released two lower-priced 1080p DLP projectors geared more specifically at the home theater market. The W1100 ($1,499) has a rated brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumen, a rated CR of 4,500:1, and a 10-bit color processor. It includes dual 10-watt speakers and SRS WOW HD audio processing.

BenQ W1200.jpgThe step-up W1200 ($1,999) has a rated brightness of 1,800 ANSI lumen and a 5,000:1 rated contrast ratio. It features Advanced Color Wheel Coating technology to boost color saturation and uses frame interpolation technology to reduce film judder. The W1200 also has ISFccc certification.
