is the XGA model this is just a sample unit so you guys don't worry too much about what this looks like because yours will come in a nice shiny new retail package so inside we find a couple of things honestly I can't even begin to speculate what the actual accessories included with a retail one would be but I would say probably it comes with a power cord and probably it comes with some kind of video cable it will also come with a remote that includes a laser pointer so you can see it's covered with warnings about lasers and like stuff o um aha laser oh oh the batteries are not installed too bad okay so that includ a bunch of functionality but you're actually not limited to using this remote you can even use with the dongle that you can buy separately just I think it's like 60 bucks or something like that you can use your iPhone to control everything about it and you can even stream images slideshows or PowerPoint presentations and you can just like flip between the slides like this

very cool projector will you buy one the answer is probably not will this technology trickle down and will you eventually be able to buy something like it the answer is quite possibly because this is more of a corporate skew more for pre presentation Halls schools uh stuff like that and less about the actual individual end user here so this is a solid state laser projector which has a whole whack load of different advantages um slick standing in front of my notes in including the fact that the I mean I can't even call it bulb replacement estimated time so it they estimate BenQ estimates that you get 10,000 hours of use out of this before you will actually have to replace the DLP wheel now it also has an eight segment wheel besides the laser backlighting it has an 8- segment wheel which compared to most projectors in this kind of a product class right now are using a six- segment wheel which gives you better color reproduction as well as absolutely Wicked 880,000 to1 contrast ratio and we're not talking like funky Dynamic contrast ratios we're talking actual contrast ratio we had this fired up before I put it back in the box and I got to say guys for a DLP projector it absolutely blew me away in terms of the vividness of the colors like even looking at the Windows desktop the Windows logo in the middle the green and the yellow are distinctly different and they really pop even on this like crappy off-white wall so that was very cool about it um no moving Parts other than the fan why do you have no moving Parts written down there okay well forget that it's a
