Long Lamp Life

Keep your maintenance to a minimum. The MX511 offers normal and economic lamp modes, and the latter will give you up to 6000 hours of life, which is double the lamp life expectancy of many projector lamps.

Go 3D with DLP Link

The MX511 is equipped with 3D projection technology, for immersive 3D effects in your own home. It utilizes DLP Link 3D technology. As with many of the 3D TVs on the market, the user wears compatible active shutter 3D glasses. The difference is that DLP Link requires no emitter device to control the glasses--it sends open/close data as video, in between frames. Using the MX511 for 3D will require BenQ's 3D glasses and 3D content (delivered via playback software or compatible DVD/Blu-Ray players).

Add BenQ 3D glasses to enjoy real 3D entertainment.

Features an HDMI input, along with a wealth of analog inputs.

XGA Native Resolution

The MX511 features XGA native resolution, e.g., 1024 x 768, which brings you crisp and accurate images for your presentation.

High Contrast Ratio

With a high contrast ratio of 3000:1, you'll get sharp detail and a broader range of subtle color differences, which makes text sharper, cleaner, and easy to read.

2700 ANSI Lumen Brightness

This ensures great viewing for small- or medium-sized rooms, even in locations with ambient light.

Vivid Color

The MX511 features BrilliantColor Technology, which boosts mid-tone colors to increase overall brightness, for a more life-like picture. BenQ's "3D Color Management" lets you adjust six colors (primary/secondary) for permanent installations, to allow for more accurate reproduction.

HDMI-Enabled

The MX511 features an HDMI input, for a convenient audio/video connection to most modern digital a/v devices. Composite, component, and other connections are also provided.

Built-in Speaker

The MX511's built-in 2W speaker gives you simple mono audio solution during presentations. A stereo output is also included, for attaching stereo speakers or sending audio to a separate system.

3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have:

		A Display The first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect.
		A Source While your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3.
		Content In order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience.
		3D Glasses All 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV.
		HDMI Cable To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality.
