1
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,960
guys we're here in the BenQ booth at CES now we're seeing a couple things we've

2
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,480
seen from BenQ before there's some projectors some monitors but this is

3
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:31,000
something that's a little different now Ben Q has had interactive projectors for

4
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:34,239
over a year now they you know you can sell that kind of thing to a school or

5
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,399
business where they want to make presentations they want to be able to to

6
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,320
gesture at the screen or you know write on it or whatever else this is an

7
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:47,280
interactive TV it uses a very sophisticated system involving two

8
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:52,280
cameras and an infrared sensor technology to make the touchcreen

9
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,320
incredibly accurate now both slick and I were playing around with it before we

10
00:00:53,559 --> 00:01:00,960
shot the video and both of us noticed how easy it is to hit the correct action

11
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:05,040
on the screen even when you're off at an angle which can be a problem on TVs

12
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,840
because of the thickness of the glass and the fact that the LCD panel is

13
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,640
actually behind the glass so even while I'm off to the side I'm not going to

14
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,960
miss that black box when I try to write on it you can also see there's almost oh

15
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,759
there made one mistake there's almost no delay as I write on it and it is very

16
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,119
very accurate so part of the problem right there is I'm mushing on it really

17
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:26,920
really hard so if I sort of touch it more in the way that I would normally

18
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,520
touch a touchcreen there you go we can get quite smooth lines so this is meant

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,720
for more like the same kind of audience as the

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,000
interactive projector maybe a classroom or something like that but where they

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:41,560
don't necessarily have the room to mount the projector or they don't want to

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,280
worry about being standing in front of the light beam and it causing the the uh

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,479
the actual screen itself to go black as a shadow behind them now this is

24
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,560
something we've seen from BenQ before beastly projectors so they're saying

25
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,960
their customers are demanding higher brightness projector so for something

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,479
like a boardroom where you don't you're not really able to dim the lights

27
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,920
properly this guy right here here has all kinds of sweet awesome inputs

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,520
including dual HDMI they're also adding 3D to their business class projectors

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,000
which is I suppose entirely necessary because you never know when you're going

30
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:18,000
to want to give a presentation in a board meeting in 3D but the main thing

31
00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,360
about this guy is the 4,000 lumens brightness now okay so that's not a

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,879
general consumer skew but BenQ does have General consumer SKS as well they have

33
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,080
also introduced this new merchandising scheme they wanted us to show it off at

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,400
CES so rather than relying on the sales rep in your local Big Box store who

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,599
you're going to ask them a question which one's 3D which one's got the best

36
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:42,400
brightness and they're going to kind of look at you like uh and they're going to like look

37
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,400
at the at the label under the product and see if they can see it on there

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,480
because they don't know so the idea is to put everything about the projector on

39
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,519
an easy to read format on the top of it as a sticker you just remove it when you

40
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,400
get it home and that's going to roll out to all the projectors not just that

41
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:02,080
particular model we're looking at now BenQ already has the MLG official PC

42
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:07,120
gaming monitor under their belt now they're adding the

43
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,959
rl2455 HM this is oriented more towards

44
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,400
the console Gamers now you still have those features that were available on

45
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,159
the PC version that is to say you have the FPS mode the RTS mode black

46
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,840
equalizer which is designed to take details that are hidden in Shadows or

47
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:22,879
hidden in dark areas of a map and make them pop out a little bit more not

48
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:26,159
something that would be ideal for photo editing for example guys but if you're

49
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,200
looking for every Competitive Edge that's there it has a 1 millisecond gray

50
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,920
to Gray response time which is about as fast as it gets and to appeal more to

51
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:41,080
the console guys maybe you don't have a lot of space maybe you are a PC and a

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,760
console guy it has dual HDMI inputs so you can either have a PC on the right of

53
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,159
it and a console on the left or if you don't you have a laptop you don't have a

54
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:53,400
PC you can have your PS3 and your Xbox 360 hooked up to it at the same time

55
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:58,480
without ever having to swap any cables so this is now their second official

56
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:01,159
gaming monitor of Major League Gaming and I think they're very very proud of

57
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,439
it and that's why they have it here at the show today now I've talked about the

58
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,280
w1070 already but this is a short throw

59
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:14,480
version of it basically the only things that have changed are the Optics so it

60
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:19,519
now is able to project a 100in image which is over there in a less than a 6

61
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:24,919
feet throw distance this is the first short throw 1080p 3D projector on the

62
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:29,479
market and it's going to be available sometime in February so just to make the

63
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,840
point of how here I'm just going to take this with me just to make the point of

64
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,680
how short the distance we're throwing here is we can go sort of here let's

65
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:43,880
let's go by Linus ARM length so that's one two three and a half Linus ARM

66
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:45,600
lengths and the actual throw distance

67
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:52,240
that we have from the projector to the TV is just over one Linus body length in

68
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,320
fact about 5' 6 in according to uh what

69
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,800
what I think it it converts into a regular sort of measurement so this is

70
00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:01,320
really awkward and we're going to move on to the next thing now kiss design you

71
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,000
probably haven't heard of it before that's because it's new to North America

72
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,720
this is a wholly owned subsidiary of BenQ so they're getting into house

73
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:14,160
lighting now I'm going to start with how much these things cost this is

74
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:19,280
$2,000 this is $11,000 and this one right here on the

75
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,800
table is $600 so guys this is not meant

76
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:26,720
to replace light bulbs this is more of a fashion statement it's intended for a

77
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:30,120
luxury home where you're you're it's not I mean it doesn't even throw that much

78
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,960
light it's more of an art artistic piece you're expected to actually already have

79
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Lighting in the room so what's cool about this one and all of them is they're LED lighting I'm going to move

80
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,840
over here so that slick can sort of survive over there you can actually

81
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:46,160
change which ones are on and which ones are off just by flipping the switch

82
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:51,000
around so the bottom is metal the top are sort of these uh op uh

83
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,840
semi-translucent plastic panels and you

84
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,720
can put it in sort of a pattern it looks kind of like a piano so that's why it's

85
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:59,600
called the piano LED floor benue tried really hard to have this all perfect so

86
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:05,319
now I've done gone and messed it up for them so I'm sorry guys this right here

87
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,039
is the seagull so at $1,000 each you can

88
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:12,120
control how much light on the front knob it emits just like that and you can

89
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:17,960
actually control the positioning of the wings so I told them I probably need an entire flock of these for my kitchen and

90
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:23,919
uh I was offered sort of a very compelling discount of I think it was

91
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:25,639
$73.99 each so uh so there you go if

92
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:30,400
it's the kind of thing where you want to make a statement with the lighting in your home not necessarily a bad idea

93
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:35,800
personally I don't spend much time in high-end lighting stores but my understanding is these prices actually

94
00:06:33,599 --> 00:06:40,240
aren't that crazy once you get into that kind of a product this guy right here's

95
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:44,280
the coral LED table this one's to me actually the most appealing out of them

96
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,199
because unlike the others which seem like they they're bright enough to

97
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,919
actually throw light this really is just kind of a stand you'd never use this to

98
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:55,759
read by it's just kind of unique looking it's available in a variety of colors

99
00:06:53,039 --> 00:07:01,639
and we have one more thing Ben Q wanted me to mention this they have

100
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,639
one and him a CES design and Engineering

101
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:08,360
showcase Award presented to Ben Q for

102
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,879
this monitor right here this is the VW

103
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:15,960
2430 it's a white monitor it is optimized for Apple users so that is to

104
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:21,599
say you buy your MacBook you buy your your Apple desktop it has a built-in

105
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:26,599
profile where it's an apple mode that tries to simulate the way that the

106
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:30,319
colors appear on the display of your Apple computer so basically they're just

107
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,280
trying to make it so that you have a more uniform experience this isn't

108
00:07:32,039 --> 00:07:37,599
anything that you couldn't do on your own with a color calibrator or by

109
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,120
eyeballing it for long enough but out of the box it is intended to appeal to an

110
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,720
Apple user it also has a built-in business card holder you can't miss this

111
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,159
diesel check this out it rotates holds

112
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,240
business cards don't miss any of our CES
