Timeless Image Quality:
Colorific™ Technology Delivers Lifelike Color, Year After Year

BenQ uses Colorific technology to optimize images for specific color balance effects for diverse applications such as presentations, movies and spreadsheets and photographs. Every BenQ Colorific projector generates more than one billion colors by combining up to seven different colors to create vibrant, true to life images. You'll also experience dramatic contrasts for remarkable clarity, higher impact, and greater legibility. BenQ's Colorific projectors are dependable year after year. You can rely on the colors to remain the same from day one to a decade later--without the risk of fading, ghosted images, or yellowing.

•   : Accurate. Over 1 billion colors - compared to 16.7 million from many LCD projectors
•   : Crisp. Bright, high contrast picture - 3x more contrast than similar top-selling LCD models
•   : Long-Lasting. Consistent quality - image is the same now and years from now

DLP Technology also includes a filter-free engine design for carefree confidence in long-lasting image quality and reduced TCO. BenQ’s SmartEco™ Technology further boosts contrast performance and image quality endurance while saving up to 70% on lamp power consumption.

 
 

 

Razor-Sharp Clarity with Ultra-Readability:

Enabling a 96% fill factor, DLP Technology supplies pixel circuitry behind the pixel, thereby eliminating the thick dark bezels around individual pixels, which diminishes color and detail. A higher fill factor and less black border translate into noticeably purer, more intense color and smoother image quality. 

BenQ DLP Projectors also feature high contrast ratios for flawless rendering of small text, fine lines, and dark scene details. Blacks are deeper and overall image quality is more focused and clean. Your presentations will be easily readable and highly effective, even from the back row of a well-lit room.

Vibrant True-to-Life Colors:

Even in well-lit venues, BenQ DLP Projectors achieve the optimal balance of brightness and color accuracy. BrilliantColor™ technology additionally boosts true-to-life colors that captivate. BrilliantColor enables up to six-color processing by incorporating the secondary colors Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta along with the primary Red, Blue, and Green colors. From intense hues to elusive mid-tones like aqua blues and light yellows, every presentation is rendered in pure, living splendor.

Bring your classroom presentations to life with theBenQ MX525A 3300-Lumen XGA Projector. It supports 3D playback with optional 3D glasses for a more immersive experience. Its 3300 lumens of brightness will effectively combat most ambient light, and its 13,000:1 contrast ratio combined with its 1024 x 768 native resolution will deliver clear images at most seating distances. Plus, its 1.96 to 2.15:1 throw ratio will enable you to place the projector near the back of the room, preventing passersby from easily walking into it.

The MX525A can connect to most sources with its HDMI, S-video, RCA, and two VGA inputs, and can also be daisy-chained to other projectors to show the same image with its VGA output. An analog audio input and built-in 2W speaker will bring sound to your presentations; and if you need more power, the projector also has an analog audio output. It is controllable via RS-232 or the included IR remote. Also included is a VGA cable for instant connectivity.
