    slowly lower the projector. Screw the rear adjuster foot in a reverse direction.
    If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected picture 
    becomes vertically trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of Keystone in the 
    Picture menu, on the projector control panel, or on the remote control. See Correcting 
    keystone on page 25 for details.
    Correcting keystone
    Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected picture is noticeably wider at either 
    the top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen.
    To correct this, besides adjusting the height of 
    the projector, you will need to manually 
    correct it following ONE of these steps.

    Fine-tuning the picture clarity
    If needed, sharpen the picture by rotating the focus ring.
    If you are still not satisfied with the picture clarity, see Sharpness on page 35 to make further 
    adjustment.
    Selecting the aspect ratio
    The aspect ratio is the ratio of the picture width to the picture height. Most analog TV and 
    computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
    With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can 
    dynamically stretch and scale the picture output to a different aspect than that of the picture 
    input source. 
    You can change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect the source is) by entering 
    the
    Pro-Picture > Aspect Ratio menu. Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of 
    the video signal and your display requirements. There are three aspect ratios available:
    In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active 
    areas.
    1.Native: The picture is projected at its original resolution, with no 
    pixel conversion. For input signals with lower resolutions, the 
    projected picture will display smaller than if resized to full screen. 
    You could move the projector towards the screen to increase the 
    picture size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector 
    after moving the projector.
    2.4:3: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
    with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 pictures like 
    computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD 
    movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
    3.16:9: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
    with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for pictures which are 
    already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them 
    without aspect alteration.
    16:9 aspect ratio is only sourced through the Component Video input when 
    being fed an appropriate 16:9 aspect signal. See Connecting a Component Video source 
    device on page 19 and Obtaining a preferred projected picture size on page 14 for details.

    							Operation 27
    Optimizing the picture
    Selecting a picture mode
    The projector is preset with several 
    predefined picture modes so that you can 
    choose one to suit your operating 
    environment and input source picture type.
    To select a picture mode that suits your need, 
    you can follow one of the following steps.
    •Press MODE on the remote control or 
    projector repeatedly until your desired 
    mode is selected.
    • Go to thePicture > Picture 
    Mode menu and press Left/ Right to select a desired mode.
    The preset picture modes are stored in the projector along with the current color 
    temperature setting for each input. You can change the picture mode and color temperature 
    settings for the currently active input, and your selection is automatically stored in the 
    projector and associated with that input source. 
    Each time you change the picture mode, the projector also changes the color temperature 
    setting to the one which was last selected for that particular picture mode on that particular 
    input. If you change the input source, the most recently used picture mode and color 
    temperature for that input and resolution will be restored.
    The other picture properties such as brightness, color, contrast, tint, and sharpness, are not 
    changed with a change in picture mode, however, are altered by a change in input. They 
    remain constant and system wide, no matter what other picture properties are changed. See 
    Picture menu on page 35 for details.
    The picture modes available for different types of signals are listed below.
    Graphic input sources
    Graphic input sources are computer (data) based graphics-card signal timings and are only 
    ever connected using the VGA (D-Sub) cable. Graphic input sources are active only when 
    RGB is selected as the input source.
    1.Dynamic Mode (Default): Maximizes the brightness of the projected picture. This 
    mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as 
    using the projector in well lit rooms.
    2.Presentation Mode: Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this 
    mode to match PC and notebook coloring.
    3.sRGB Mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life pictures 
    regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an 
    sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing PC graphic and 
    drawing applications such as AutoCAD.
    4.Cinema Mode: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from digital 
    cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light) 
    environment.
    Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals 
    						
    							Operation 28
    Video input sources
    Video input sources are video (movie) based signal timings connected using the video cables 
    Component Video (YPbPr), S-Video, or composite Video. Video input sources are active only 
    when YPbPr (Comp.), S-Video, or Video is selected as the input source.
    1.Standard Mode (Default): Is appropriate for viewing colorful movies, video clips 
    from digital cameras or DVs.
    2.Dynamic Mode: Is suitable for playing gamebox-based video games in a normal living 
    room lighting level environment.
    3.Cinema Mode: Is suitable for enjoying dark movies or DVD movies best viewed in a 
    blackened (little light) home cinema or lounge room environment.
    Using Wall Color
    In the situation where you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which 
    may not be white, the Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture’s color to 
    prevent possible color difference between the source and projected pictures. 
    To use this function, go to the   Picture > Wa l l  C o l o r menu and press Left/
    Right to select a color which is the closest to the color of the projection surface. There are 
    several precalibrated colors to choose from: Light Yellow, Pink, Light Green, Blue, and 
    Blackboard.
    To achieve truly accurate color reproduction in your projected pictures, it is still 
    recommended that you use a properly graded white projection screen.
    Fine-tuning the picture quality
    The following adjustments are accessible in the Picture menu. Highlight the item to 
    be adjusted by pressing Up/Down and press Left/Right to make adjustments 
    based on your needs.
    Selecting a Color Temperature
    There are four preset color temperature* settings available.
    1.T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the picture appear the most bluish 
    white than other settings.
    2.T2: Makes pictures appear bluish white.
    3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
    4.T4: Makes pictures 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.
    Adjusting Brightness
    The higher the value, the brighter the picture. The lower the setting, the darker the picture. 
    Adjust this control so the black areas of the picture appear just as black and that detail in the 
    dark areas is visible. 
    50-30+70

    							Operation 29
    Adjusting Contrast
    The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Adjust this control so that white areas of the 
    picture appear bright and that detail in the white areas remains visible. Use this after you 
    have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing 
    environment. 
    Other adjustments
    You can find other picture quality fine-tune selections in the Picture menu as well. 
    See Picture menu on page 35 for details.
    A change of input will cause the projector to restore the picture settings which were current 
    when that input was last selected. If no custom adjustments have been made to the picture 
    settings of that input, the default settings for that input will be used.
