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

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:26.480
seen from BenQ before there's some projectors some monitors but this is

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:31.000
something that's a little different now Ben Q has had interactive projectors for

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

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.399
business where they want to make presentations they want to be able to to

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:42.320
gesture at the screen or you know write on it or whatever else this is an

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:47.280
interactive TV it uses a very sophisticated system involving two

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:52.280
cameras and an infrared sensor technology to make the touchcreen

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:56.320
incredibly accurate now both slick and I were playing around with it before we

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

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

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.840
because of the thickness of the glass and the fact that the LCD panel is

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

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

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

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:24.119
very accurate so part of the problem right there is I'm mushing on it really

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

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:30.520
touch a touchcreen there you go we can get quite smooth lines so this is meant

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.720
for more like the same kind of audience as the

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.000
interactive projector maybe a classroom or something like that but where they

00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:41.560
don't necessarily have the room to mount the projector or they don't want to

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.280
worry about being standing in front of the light beam and it causing the the uh

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:49.479
the actual screen itself to go black as a shadow behind them now this is

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.560
something we've seen from BenQ before beastly projectors so they're saying

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.960
their customers are demanding higher brightness projector so for something

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.479
like a boardroom where you don't you're not really able to dim the lights

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.920
properly this guy right here here has all kinds of sweet awesome inputs

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:10.520
including dual HDMI they're also adding 3D to their business class projectors

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.000
which is I suppose entirely necessary because you never know when you're going

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:18.000
to want to give a presentation in a board meeting in 3D but the main thing

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.360
about this guy is the 4,000 lumens brightness now okay so that's not a

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:25.879
general consumer skew but BenQ does have General consumer SKS as well they have

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.080
also introduced this new merchandising scheme they wanted us to show it off at

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.400
CES so rather than relying on the sales rep in your local Big Box store who

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

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

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

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.480
because they don't know so the idea is to put everything about the projector on

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

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

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:02.080
particular model we're looking at now BenQ already has the MLG official PC

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:07.120
gaming monitor under their belt now they're adding the

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.959
rl2455 HM this is oriented more towards

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.400
the console Gamers now you still have those features that were available on

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.159
the PC version that is to say you have the FPS mode the RTS mode black

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.840
equalizer which is designed to take details that are hidden in Shadows or

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

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:26.159
something that would be ideal for photo editing for example guys but if you're

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:31.200
looking for every Competitive Edge that's there it has a 1 millisecond gray

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:58.480
without ever having to swap any cables so this is now their second official

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:01.159
gaming monitor of Major League Gaming and I think they're very very proud of

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

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:09.280
w1070 already but this is a short throw

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.480
version of it basically the only things that have changed are the Optics so it

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

00:04:17.799 --> 00:04:24.919
feet throw distance this is the first short throw 1080p 3D projector on the

00:04:23.320 --> 00:04:29.479
market and it's going to be available sometime in February so just to make the

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

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

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

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.600
lengths and the actual throw distance

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

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:54.320
fact about 5' 6 in according to uh what

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.800
what I think it it converts into a regular sort of measurement so this is

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

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:05.000
probably haven't heard of it before that's because it's new to North America

00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:09.720
this is a wholly owned subsidiary of BenQ so they're getting into house

00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:14.160
lighting now I'm going to start with how much these things cost this is

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:19.280
$2,000 this is $11,000 and this one right here on the

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:21.800
table is $600 so guys this is not meant

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.720
to replace light bulbs this is more of a fashion statement it's intended for a

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

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.960
light it's more of an art artistic piece you're expected to actually already have

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

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.840
over here so that slick can sort of survive over there you can actually

00:05:39.479 --> 00:05:46.160
change which ones are on and which ones are off just by flipping the switch

00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:51.000
around so the bottom is metal the top are sort of these uh op uh

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.840
semi-translucent plastic panels and you

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

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.600
called the piano LED floor benue tried really hard to have this all perfect so

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

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:08.039
is the seagull so at $1,000 each you can

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:12.120
control how much light on the front knob it emits just like that and you can

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

00:06:16.280 --> 00:06:23.919
uh I was offered sort of a very compelling discount of I think it was

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.639
$73.99 each so uh so there you go if

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

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

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

00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:44.280
the coral LED table this one's to me actually the most appealing out of them

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.199
because unlike the others which seem like they they're bright enough to

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

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

00:06:53.039 --> 00:07:01.639
and we have one more thing Ben Q wanted me to mention this they have

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:04.639
one and him a CES design and Engineering

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:08.360
showcase Award presented to Ben Q for

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.879
this monitor right here this is the VW

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:15.960
2430 it's a white monitor it is optimized for Apple users so that is to

00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:21.599
say you buy your MacBook you buy your your Apple desktop it has a built-in

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:26.599
profile where it's an apple mode that tries to simulate the way that the

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.319
colors appear on the display of your Apple computer so basically they're just

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.280
trying to make it so that you have a more uniform experience this isn't

00:07:32.039 --> 00:07:37.599
anything that you couldn't do on your own with a color calibrator or by

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

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:45.720
Apple user it also has a built-in business card holder you can't miss this

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:49.159
diesel check this out it rotates holds

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:51.240
business cards don't miss any of our CES
