About the aspect ratio • In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. • OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas. 1.Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projectors native resolution in its horizontal or vertical width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of the screen without altering the images aspect ratio. 2.Real : The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after making these adjustments. 3.4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like some computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration. 4.16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them without aspect alteration. 5.16:10: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:10 aspect, as it displays them without aspect alteration. 15:9 picture 4:3 picture 16:9 picture 4:3 picture 16:9 picture 16:10 picture Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals

Fine-tuning the image quality in user modes According to the detected signal type and selected picture mode, some of the below functions may not be available. Based on your needs, you can make adjustments to these functions by highlighting them and pressing / on the projector or remote control. Adjusting Brightness The higher the value, the brighter the image. And the lower the setting, the darker the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible. Adjusting Contrast The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment. Adjusting Color Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic. Adjusting Tint The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more greenish the picture becomes. Adjusting Sharpness The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the picture becomes. Adjusting 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 On. If you don’t need it, select Off. When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available. Selecting a Color Temperature The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type selected. 1.Cool: Makes images appear bluish white. 2.Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white. 3.Warm: Makes images appear reddish white. *About color temperatures: There are many different shades that are considered to be white for various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it. +50+30+70 0-30+30 Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it. Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer. 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. If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc, you can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments. To adjust the settings: 1. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management. 2. Press MODE/ENTER on the projector or remote control and the 3D Color Management page appears. 3. Highlight Primary Color and press / to select a color from among Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta. 4. Press to highlight Hue and press / to select its range.
