BenQ MS500 3D Ready DLP Projector, 2500 ANSI Lumens, SVGA (800x600) Native Resolution, 4000:1 Contrast Ratio, 6000-Hour Lamp Life

The SVGA resolution BenQ MS500 3D Ready DLP Projector is a powerful, versatile projector that displays beautiful, vivid pictures thanks to its Texas Instruments DLP imaging panel. DLP panels not only make vibrant, crystal clear images but they don't require filters that have to be periodically cleaned and changed.

With 2500 ANSI lumens at a crisp 4000:1 contrast ratio, those images will be vivid and detailed and even if you can't achieve theater-level darkness in your projection venue. The MS500 also has four picture modes specialized for brightly lit rooms, presentations, viewing photos and watching movies plus two "user" modes that allow you to save your own picture preferences. It's 3D ready as well when used with a 3D equipped computer and compatible shutter glasses. Just imagine adding this immersive element to your presentations.

But the MS500 can do a lot more than make beautiful pictures. Weighing in at only 5.5 lb. (2.5kg), there's a good chance it may do some traveling and it won't have to be limited to domestic flights. It's got an international auto switching 100-240 V 50/60 Hz power supply that draws only 297W which drops to less than 1W in standby mode. The MS500 can also project video in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM international video standards.

And speaking of international, its onscreen display (OSD) offers your choice of 28 languages. The MS500 can handle 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition projection and it's also compatible with most Macintosh and PC resolution sync rates. It can display any of the four standard closed captioning channels from programming sources that provide them.

The MS500's extensive connectivity includes a USB, component and S-video as well as a PC in and monitor out. With all of those possible inputs you may find that you have multiple sources plugged into your MS500 at the same time. Activating Quick Auto Search will automatically switch to the one that's got the live signal.
