welcome to my unboxing of the war zone
lx60 XT projector from Ben Q this is not
right this is the wxga model the one that's actually inside here 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 and stream
them directly to the wireless dongle which is kind of cool it actually works
with a bunch of NQ projectors if you check out their app on the iTunes Store
App Store whatever it's called whatever it is it's not called Google
Play because it's only for Apple but if you check out the app it actually has a
list of which projectors are compatible with the dongle and the
app now this is a 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 short throw projector which means that from here to the wall
we were able to project an image that was about from here to about here and
here to here so big old huge image the
Practical limits of this in a dark environment are about 300 in but I'd say
probably closer to 100 to 150 in if
you're in a more brightly lit kind of
environment what else are we missing here I want to make sure we don't miss
anything right it's available in XGA or
wxga and aha it's green so no Mercury
since there is no traditional proor lamp
there's no Mercury inside the projector lamp so that means that if it's you know
thrown away or disposed of in any particular way you don't have to worry
about the environmental impact of that Beyond just the fact that it's you know
plastic and you shouldn't throw away Electronics more than you absolutely have to finally threeyear parts and
labor warranty and near instant on and off so it takes about 3 seconds to turn
off and about 6 seconds to turn back on immediately which is very cool compared
to some of the uber slow traditionally
back lit project that we've seen in the past oh look at that engineering sample
sweet also has a 20 W speaker built in and let's go ahead and take a bit of
a product tour here so here's the focus wheel it's got big old
grippy neral Shenanigans going on here
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
mount in portrait mode and it is compatible with that so you can you I
mean I can't imagine you know what leave a comment guys leave a comment if you
can think of a reason to mount a projector in portrait mode and have it
be like like a portrait image like right
side up I I cannot cannnot imagine why you'd want that you can actually see the
internals a little bit here you can see some electronics and whatnots and HOAs
and here you can see some heat sinks and fans and cooling stuff going on it
doesn't get super loud but I mean it's not silent or anything either in terms
of inputs we've got a pretty wide variety we've got audio in one and two
audio out as well as a microphone Jack we've got our traditional um old analog
stuff so you got your composite you got your s video you got your audio right
and left you've got up to two VGA in a
monitor out HDMI in two USB ports so
that's where you'll plug in that wireless dongle which actually looks a
little something like this you can also read uh certain things
directly off of it if you check out my gp2 video I show you some of the cool
things you can do with benq's built-in software also have a Serial Port mini us
BB Lan and finally a 12vt trigger
finally again the power and finally once more the Kensington
lock I think that pretty much covers it so stay tuned guys cuz I'm going to be
doing a proper NC Tech tips on this particular model so this is just going
