BenQ TH671ST 1080p Short Throw Gaming Projector, 3000 Lumens, Low Input Lag for Gaming, Built-in 5W Speaker

Product Information

Brightness is another key feature. We measured the TH671ST at a little over 2,600 ANSI lumens, which is enough to light up a 130-inch 1.0-gain screen in moderately bright ambient light. Even its video optimized setting, at a measured 1,887 lumens, is bright enough at the same light level for a 110-inch 1.0-gain screen or a 120-inch 1.2 gain screen.

The BenQ TH671ST was tested using an Xbox One, DirecTV and Spectrum Cable boxes and viewed on a 16:9 92” Da-Lite fixed screen. Images and recording taken with an iPhone 6S+. Low Lamp Mode. Compared with the full power mode, Economic mode reduces brightness by about 36%. Two other settings, SmartEco and LampSave, are dynamic power modes that are intended to lenghthen lamp life by adjusting the power level based on scene content. With a standard 100% white image, we measured SmartEco at the same brightness as Normal power mode. LampSave peaked at 1,767 ANSI lumens in Bright mode, just a touch brighter than Economic mode. BenQ says there is no noticeable effect on the image with these modes, nor did we observe any. represents the diagonal distance between the top right corner of your image (screen) and the bottom left corner of your image (screen). On As mentioned before, my personal projector is about three years old and has similar measurables to the BenQ TH671ST, however I noticed that the BenQ was brighter, more detailed and smoother than mine, which could very well be due to the 16.67ms low input lag and microsecond DMD response time.

Con 1) Somewhat Lower Light Output in Some Models: While they do well in resolution and sharpness, other projector brands, such as LG, may offer higher maximum brightness to cope with varied ambient lighting. Personally, I have been a staff member at GamingNexus since 2006 and am in my third tour of duty after taking off the last year and a half. Throw Distance. Unlike most short throw projectors, the TH671ST offers a zoom lens, which adds flexibility for positioning the projector to help make setup easy. Simply place the projector at approximately the right distance from the screen, and then fit the image to the screen by adjusting the 1.2x zoom, rather than moving the projector. The range for a 110-inch 16:9 image is roughly 5.5 to 6.7 feet. The BenQ TH671ST Projection Calculator will let you find the throw distance range for the image size you want.

This BenQ TH585 3500-lumen projector has HDMI and USB A inputs for connecting computers. It also has VGA and RS232 ports for legacy devices. With a monitor output port, this projector enables extending the screen to other display devices. It has a lamp life of up to 15,000 hours, supporting simple maintenance. Featuring up to 3500 lumens of brightness, this device is ideal for well-lit rooms. It has a zoom function, lens shift, and auto keystone. Introduction to BenQ Projectors Input lag. With Fast Mode on, the TH671ST's input lag is 16.4 ms in Bright and Sport modes and 16.6 ms in Vivid TV and Game modes. Both are fast enough for serious gamers. Input lag for Cinema mode is only slightly longer, at 18.8 ms. With Fast Mode off, the lag jumps to about 50 ms for all modes but Cinema, which is 52.2 ms. The default setting for Fast Mode is On for Game mode, and Off for all other modes.

How to choose a projector for your home cinema set-up

Compared to older models, a modern projector will have much better image quality and a more powerful lamp while requiring less frequent maintenance and making less noise. Thanks to improvements in low-power diode light output and the long lamp life of blue laser diodes, modern projector light sources last several times longer than the bulbs in traditional projectors. New BenQ models also benefit from additional features such as built-in Wi-Fi, HDR capability, and improved color wheel processing for more realistic color. in your room. The position of the projector in your room changes because you will need to move the projector closer or further away from the screen Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Pro 2) Outstanding Color Accuracy: BenQ projectors consistently win high marks for color accuracy. Their 1DLP models use a light processing engine with 30-bit color, allowing for full DCI-P3 Color Space and over 95% color uniformity. Other projector components that may require upkeep or replacement include air filter assemblies for air-cooled projectors, lens motors for models with automatic zoom and lens shift, and Wi-Fi dongles for models that use external wireless modules. Over time, cheaper projectors may experience more color aberration as the light source dims with age. To maintain a bright image and lifelike, vivid color, make sure to keep up with the maintenance of your projector. It also helps to store the unit someplace relatively cool and free of dust. Letting the projector cool off between uses can sometimes prolong the life of the lamp and optics assembly. BenQ Projector Warranties

Brightness. The BenQ TH671ST test unit came in at 2,638 ANSI lumens in our tests, a solid 86% of its 3,000 ANSI lumen rating. With the 1.2x zoom lens at its widest angle setting, our measurements for Normal and Economic power modes are as follows: measurement between the front of the projector lens and the surface of your wall or screen. Using the Zoom Range SliderVivid TV mode has a slight blue shift from neutral, which is much less of an issue than a green shift for most people, and in any case is slight enough that you're not likely to notice it without a reference image to compare it with. With default settings, Sport mode has a slight yellow-green shift, but it is easy to tweak for suitably neutral color, and without affecting either ANSI brightness or the brighter shades of yellow. BenQ's Color Management settings let you adjust hue, saturation, and gain individually for all six primary (red, green, blue) and secondary (cyan, yellow magenta) colors.
