Model Overview

The hardware properties of the MS517 manufactured by Benq include 2800 ANSI lumens, a SVGA 800 x 600 resolution and a contrast value of 13000:1. According to Benq, the lamp has a durability of 4500 hours, which amounts to roughly 6.2 years at 2 hours of daily use.
Regarding projection size, the value of 2800 ANSI lumens allows for an image width of up to 461 cm in darkened environments. In rooms with ambient light, the image width should be correspondingly reduced to a maximum of 307 cm.
In terms of video signals, the device processes resolutions up to Full HD 1080P as well as 3D.
This model dates back to 2012 and is no longer part of Benq's current product range.
