BenQ has a large portfolio of products, including projectors for every need. Home theater projectors can cost several lakhs, but you don’t need to spend that kind of money to get a good setup going. BenQ launched the affordable TH585, full HD home theater projector priced at Rs. 64,989*. BenQ boats highly of its performance. The TH585 is a Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector that uses a digital vertical lens shift feature that makes setting up the projector easy. The TH585 also claims of low latency, so you can experience a highly responsive gaming experience.
The BenQ TH585 is compact and lightweight, so it easy to setup in any room or even the ceiling with little trouble. The workings of the TH585 let it produce a brighter and more vibrant image compared to traditional LCD and LED projectors. The TH585 uses a bulb as a light source like most mainstream projectors. BenQ claims, the TH585 has a lamp life of 4,000 hours compared to most projectors that are rated at 2,000 hours. Turning on the LampSave mode, as BenQ describes, increases the lamp life up to 15,000 hours by adjusting the brightness in darker scenes.
A projector with a minimum of 1,500 lumens is recommended for home use. Lumens indicates the brightness of the projector. The BenQ TH585 can go up to 3,500, projecting a frameless 1080p screen up to 100 inches. With its 1.1x zoom, the projector can be placed closer to a wall, or even a coffee table placement should help project a big screen. The vertical lens shift is another feature that lets you adjust the position of the image up, down or center using a remote controller. This way, you can adjust the projected image without having to move the projector around.
The TH585 is also great as a gaming projector. It has a low input lag of just 16ms. There is a pre-set Game mode that can enhance visual effects. It also reduces image stuttering and lag. The TH585 supports 3D playback if you already own 3D glasses. However, 3D glasses are an optional purchase with the BenQ projector. The projector comes with a 10W built-in speaker, which is helpful during presentations or quick gaming sessions. We recommend connecting a soundbar or home theater system though.
The BenQ TH585 has picture modes you can choose from, and if you wish, you can use custom profiles to add vibrancy to colours, to adjust the temperature, hue, and brightness. The projector is also great for its multi-source connectivity. There are two HDMI ports to connect handheld gaming consoles, PCs, laptops, or Blu-ray players to the projector. You can connect an external speaker using the 3.5mm audio jack. The bundled remote control makes operating the projector easy, especially when the project is out of reach.
With TVs being so affordable, you might be right to ask why projectors make sense. It comes down to things like space and portability. Projectors are compact, they can be placed on a center table or a tea table. The BenQ TH585, for the same money, brings a true theater-like experience to your home, making it ideal for movies or gaming. BenQ offers a 2-year warranty on its TH585 home projector. The BenQ TH585 is available at your nearest Reliance Digital store, and if you rush, there are some exciting deals and offers on the projector.
