Big-screen, short-throw BenQ beamer

Philip Wong | Apr 01, 2008

Are you always straining your eyes at puny projections in confined meeting rooms? Now you can go big-screen in style with BenQ's MP771 multimedia projector. The leather-clad light cannon is a jewel in tight quarters, capable of casting a generous 74-inch presentation from a mere 1m throw distance. And it's bright, too, at 3,000 lumens. Designed for interactive whiteboards and even bare walls, the MP771 also features the latest Texas Instrument Brilliant Color technology and wall color correction function.

There's a catch, though. Since it has only a fixed zoom lens, wall space may be a potential issue here. We're looking at a fixed whopping 3 x 2.3m (148-inch) projection for a typical 2m wall to conference room table setup. That said, the S$3,299 BenQ MP771 is still an idle solution given the right conditions--think space-constrained Asian offices and meeting rooms.
