Accurate, crisp, and long-lasting color
Color accuracy and the right brightness make BenQ’s HC1200 the ideal choice for 
conference room or home theater use
BenQ’s HC1200 is purpose-built to follow the sRGB (standard Red, Green, Blue) 
color standard.  sRGB is a well-known and widely used standard for color accuracy 
in monitors, printers, cameras, and throughout the internet. It is intended as a 
guide to preserve and reproduce colors the way they are meant to be shown. The 
HC1200’s 2,800 sRGB lumens has the ability to subtlety differentiate between 
difficult to reproduce colors enabling the projector to deliver a more accurate image 
that appears brighter than a typical 4,000 lumen conference room projector1.

Up to 2X more ANSI contrast for more crisp and highly detailed images
The BenQ HC1200 not only delivers an impressive 10,000:1 ON/OFF contrast; it 
also has up to 2X more ANSI contrast than a typical projector in its class. This means 
the projector is able to better differentiate between dark and light content within 
the same image. With higher ANSI contrast, you can always expect a crisp and richly 
detailed image.

ANSI contrast uses a black and white checkerboard measurement approach to assess a projector’s ability to simultaneously show detail in the dark and lighter portions of an image.  
The red, green, and blue color coordinates make up the sRGB color triangle. This is an industry-wide standard to ensure color accuracy.
