00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:15,200
welcome to my unboxing of the war zone

2
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:17,920
lx60 XT projector from Ben Q this is not

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:22,480
right this is the wxga model the one that's actually inside here is the XGA

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,320
model this is just a sample unit so you guys don't worry too much about what

5
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:31,800
this looks like because yours will come in a nice shiny new retail package so

6
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,120
inside we find a couple of things honestly I can't even begin to speculate

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,520
what the actual accessories included with a retail one would be but I would say probably it comes with a power cord

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:47,760
and probably it comes with some kind of video cable it will also come with a

9
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:53,760
remote that includes a laser pointer so you can see it's covered with warnings

10
00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:57,480
about lasers and like stuff o um aha

11
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,199
laser oh oh the batteries are not

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,719
installed too bad okay so that includ a bunch of functionality but you're

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:10,200
actually not limited to using this remote you can even use with the dongle

14
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,960
that you can buy separately just I think it's like 60 bucks or something like that you can use your iPhone to control

15
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,040
everything about it and you can even stream images slideshows or PowerPoint

16
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,400
presentations and you can just like flip between the slides like this and stream

17
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,400
them directly to the wireless dongle which is kind of cool it actually works

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,960
with a bunch of NQ projectors if you check out their app on the iTunes Store

19
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:35,119
App Store whatever it's called whatever it is it's not called Google

20
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:39,240
Play because it's only for Apple but if you check out the app it actually has a

21
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:46,119
list of which projectors are compatible with the dongle and the

22
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:49,079
app now this is a very cool projector

23
00:01:46,119 --> 00:01:53,920
will you buy one the answer is probably not will this technology trickle down

24
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,360
and will you eventually be able to buy something like it the answer is quite

25
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:03,960
possibly because this is more of a corporate skew more for

26
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:06,880
pre presentation Halls schools uh stuff

27
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:12,520
like that and less about the actual individual end user here so this is a

28
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:18,239
solid state laser projector which has a whole whack load of different advantages

29
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:25,200
um slick standing in front of my notes in including the fact that

30
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:30,239
the I mean I can't even call it bulb replacement estimated time so it they

31
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,120
estimate BenQ estimates that you get 10,000 hours of use out of this before

32
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,720
you will actually have to replace the DLP wheel now it also has an eight

33
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,680
segment wheel besides the laser backlighting it has an 8- segment wheel

34
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:45,319
which compared to most projectors in this kind of a product class right now

35
00:02:43,959 --> 00:02:51,280
are using a six- segment wheel which gives you better color reproduction as

36
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,920
well as absolutely Wicked 880,000 to1

37
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,920
contrast ratio and we're not talking like funky Dynamic contrast ratios we're

38
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:02,120
talking actual contrast ratio we had this fired up before I put it back in

39
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:06,720
the box and I got to say guys for a DLP projector it absolutely blew me away in

40
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:10,519
terms of the vividness of the colors like even looking at the Windows desktop

41
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,560
the Windows logo in the middle the green and the yellow are distinctly different

42
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:21,319
and they really pop even on this like crappy off-white wall so that was very

43
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:22,760
cool about it um no moving Parts other

44
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:27,080
than the fan why do you have no moving Parts written down there okay well

45
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:30,319
forget that it's a short throw projector which means that from here to the wall

46
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:36,000
we were able to project an image that was about from here to about here and

47
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:37,480
here to here so big old huge image the

48
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,519
Practical limits of this in a dark environment are about 300 in but I'd say

49
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,680
probably closer to 100 to 150 in if

50
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:48,680
you're in a more brightly lit kind of

51
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,200
environment what else are we missing here I want to make sure we don't miss

52
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:57,519
anything right it's available in XGA or

53
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:00,680
wxga and aha it's green so no Mercury

54
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:02,439
since there is no traditional proor lamp

55
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:06,560
there's no Mercury inside the projector lamp so that means that if it's you know

56
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,680
thrown away or disposed of in any particular way you don't have to worry

57
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:13,480
about the environmental impact of that Beyond just the fact that it's you know

58
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,919
plastic and you shouldn't throw away Electronics more than you absolutely have to finally threeyear parts and

59
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,240
labor warranty and near instant on and off so it takes about 3 seconds to turn

60
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:28,600
off and about 6 seconds to turn back on immediately which is very cool compared

61
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,759
to some of the uber slow traditionally

62
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:36,560
back lit project that we've seen in the past oh look at that engineering sample

63
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:41,759
sweet also has a 20 W speaker built in and let's go ahead and take a bit of

64
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:48,000
a product tour here so here's the focus wheel it's got big old

65
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,240
grippy neral Shenanigans going on here

66
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,440
all right it's got like kind of a nice blue thing going on you can actually Mount this any way you want it can even

67
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:59,880
mount in portrait mode and it is compatible with that so you can you I

68
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:03,000
mean I can't imagine you know what leave a comment guys leave a comment if you

69
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,759
can think of a reason to mount a projector in portrait mode and have it

70
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,720
be like like a portrait image like right

71
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:12,880
side up I I cannot cannnot imagine why you'd want that you can actually see the

72
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,080
internals a little bit here you can see some electronics and whatnots and HOAs

73
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,600
and here you can see some heat sinks and fans and cooling stuff going on it

74
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,039
doesn't get super loud but I mean it's not silent or anything either in terms

75
00:05:23,479 --> 00:05:29,280
of inputs we've got a pretty wide variety we've got audio in one and two

76
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:34,080
audio out as well as a microphone Jack we've got our traditional um old analog

77
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:39,680
stuff so you got your composite you got your s video you got your audio right

78
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:42,960
and left you've got up to two VGA in a

79
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,039
monitor out HDMI in two USB ports so

80
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,520
that's where you'll plug in that wireless dongle which actually looks a

81
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:53,000
little something like this you can also read uh certain things

82
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,919
directly off of it if you check out my gp2 video I show you some of the cool

83
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:03,680
things you can do with benq's built-in software also have a Serial Port mini us

84
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:06,599
BB Lan and finally a 12vt trigger

85
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:11,240
finally again the power and finally once more the Kensington

86
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,759
lock I think that pretty much covers it so stay tuned guys cuz I'm going to be

87
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,759
doing a proper NC Tech tips on this particular model so this is just going
