Projection distance (mm) Ver ti c al o ff s et ( mm )Diagonal

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 331 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 230 mm, the closest match in the "Projection distance (mm)"
column is 222 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 100'' (about 2.5 m) screen is required.

All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.
BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection
size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this
projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your
installation location. The distance between the ambient light reflection screen and the projector should also be
considered during installation.

12 Positioning your projector

Adjusting the projected image

Press .

Press .

Adjusting the projection angle

If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the
screen and the projector are not perpendicular to
each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal.
You can screw the adjuster feet to fine-tune the
horizontal angle.

To retract the feet, screw the adjuster feet in a
reverse direction.

Do not look into the lens while the light source is on. The strong light from the light source may cause damage to
your eyes.

Fine-tuning the image clarity

Go to INSTALLATION > Motor Focus and use / to adjust the focus settings.

Correcting keystone

Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image becomes a trapezoid due to angled
projection.

To automatically correct this, enable Auto Keystone in the INSTALLATION menu.

To manually correct this:

1. Go to INSTALLATION > Keystone.

2. Press / on the remote control.

3. After the Keystone correction page appears, press

PICTURE menu

The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you can
choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal picture type.

• Bright: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable
for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the
projector in well lit rooms.

• Living Room: With well-saturated color, fine-tuned sharpness, and a higher
brightness level, this mode is suitable for playing movies in rooms where there is a
small amount of ambient light, e.g. your living room.

• Cinema (Rec. 709): Providing accurate color of 100% Rec. 709 and deepest
contrast at lower brightness level, this mode is suitable for playing 1080P SDR
movies in an environment with a bit of ambient light, like in a living room.

• DCI-P3: In accordance with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, this mode provides
deepest contrast at lower brightness level. It is suitable for playing 4K SDR movies
in a totally dark environment, as if in a commercial cinema.

• User: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available picture
modes. See User Mode Management on page 27.

Picture Mode

• Silence: Minimizes the acoustic noise. It is suitable for the need of watching
movies that requires an ultra-quiet environment so that you won't be disturbed by
the noise of the projector. This mode is only available when the DISPLAY >
Silence menu is set at On.

• 3D: Optimized to bring up 3D effects when watching 3D contents.

This mode is only available when 3D function is enabled.

• HDR10/HLG: Delivers High Dynamic Range effects with higher contrasts of
brightness and colors. This mode is best for watching 4K Blu-ray HDR10 or HLG
streaming contents with 100% Rec. 709 color gamut. Picture Mode will be
switched to HDR10/HLG automatically while detecting metadata or EOTF info
from 4K Blu-ray HDR10 or HLG streaming contents.

• This mode is only available when DISPLAY > HDR is set at Auto, and HDR
content is detected.

• Color gamut can be enlarged to 100% DCI-P3 in the HDR10/HLG mode for
more accurate color reproduction. Turn on Wide Color Gamut under the
PICTURE > Advanced menu.

Gamma refers to the relationship between input source and picture brightness.

• 1.8/2.0/2.1/BenQ: Select these values according to your preference.

• 2.2/2.3: Increases the average brightness of the picture. Best for a lit
environment, meeting room or family room.

• 2.4/2.5: Best for viewing movies in a dark environment.

• 2.6: Best for viewing movies which are mostly composed of dark scenes.

• HDR Brightness

The projector can automatically adjust the brightness levels of your image according
to the input source. You can also manually select a brightness level to display better
picture quality. When the value is higher, the image becomes brighter; when the
value is lower, the image becomes darker.

• Color Management

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted.
When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation
according to your preference.

• Primary Color: Selects a color from among Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue,
or Magenta.

• Hue: Increase in the range will include colors
consisted of more proportions of its two
adjacent colors. Please refer to the illustration
for how the colors relate to each other.
For example, if you select Red and set its range
at 0, only pure red in the projected picture will
be selected. Increasing its range will include red
close to yellow and red close to magenta.

• Saturation: Adjusts the values to your
preference. Every adjustment made will reflect to
the image immediately. For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0,
only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

• Gain: Adjusts the values to your preference. The contrast level of the
primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to
the image immediately.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated
colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that
color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

• CinemaMaster

• Color Enhancer: Allows you to fine-tune the saturation of colors with
larger flexibility. It modulates complex color algorithms to flawlessly render
saturated colors, fine gradients, intermediate hues and subtle pigments.

• Flesh Tone: Provides a smart adjustment of hue only for calibrating people's
skin color, not other colors in the image. It prevents discoloration of skin
tones from the light of the projection beam, portraying every skin tone in its
most beautiful shade.

• Pixel Enhancer 4K: It is a super-resolution technology which radically
enhances Full HD content in terms of colors, contrast, and textures. It's also a
Detail Enhancement Technology refining surface details for true-to-life images
that pop off the screen. Users can adjust levels of sharpness and detail
enhancement for optimal viewing.

• Motion Enhancer 4K: To enhance picture smoothness by motion
estimation/motion compensation.

• Noise Reduction: Reduces electrical image noise caused by different media
players.

(Continued)

• Brilliant Color: This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and
system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer,
more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in
mid-tone images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector
reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that
quality, select from 1 to 10.
When 0 is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

• Wide Color Gamut: Color Gamut refers to the range of colors that can
potentially be displayed by a device. There are some standards to define difference
levels of color gamuts for display devices, such as CIE 1976, sRGB, Adobe RGB,
NTSC, etc.
This function is only selectable when HDR10 or HLG is selected. With this
projector, selecting On will automatically apply the most suitable color gamut to
the image source. It is automatically turned on when PICTURE > Picture
Mode > DCI-P3 is selected. Under the rest settings, this menu is grayed out.

• LumiExpert:This function adjusts the Gamma level automatically based on the
ambient light detected through ALS. You can also manually adjust its value to your
preference.

We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is
between 1500 m–3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between
0°C–30°C.

Operation under "High Altitude Mode" may cause a higher decibel operating
noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system
cooling and performance.

If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it
may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector
from over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to
solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate
under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.

Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on
under such a condition.

Light source information

Getting to know the light source hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of light source usage is automatically
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent light source hour is as follows:

Light Source Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in Economic mode) +
(hours used in SmartEco mode)
Total (equivalent) light source hour = 1.0 x (hours used in Normal mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in
Economic mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in SmartEco mode)

For time used in each light source mode shown in OSD menu:

• Time used is accumulated and rounded down to an integer in hours.

• When time used is less than 1 hour, it shows 0 hours.

When you calculate Equivalent Light source hour manually, it will probably have deviation from the value shown in
OSD menu since projector system calculates time used for each light source mode in “Minutes” then rounds down
to an integer in hours shown in OSD.

To obtain the light source hour information:

Go to SYSTEM SETUP: ADVANCED > Light Source Settings > Light Source Timer and
press OK. The Light Usage Time information is displayed.

You can also get the light source hour information on the INFORMATION > Light Usage Time
menu.

Extending light source life

• Setting the Light Mode

Go to PICTURE > Advanced > Light Mode and press OK. Select a suitable light source power
from among the provided modes.
