BenQ MX662 DLP Projector User Manual

Model: MX662

Product Overview

The BenQ MX662 is an XGA resolution DLP projector designed for various settings, offering 3500 ANSI lumens brightness and a 13000:1 contrast ratio. It supports multi-display connections, PC-less presentations, and 3D projection. This projector incorporates BenQ's SmartEco Technology for optimized lamp life and energy efficiency. Eco Blank mode allows presenters to blank the projection screen whenever they need to direct the audience's focus back on them or simply when the projector is not in use. The SmartEco Mode cleverly adjusts the lamp power to maximize power savings by delivering the best contrast and brightness performance using only as much light as needed for the image/video being presented. No source detected mode switches the MX662 to Eco Blank Mode if the projector is left on for over three minutes without a display source. When inactive, the MX662 keeps power consumption to a minimum with 0.5W standby power. It also supports wireless display with an optional Wi-Fi dongle and direct projection from a USB flash drive.
