EnglishAdvanced picture quality controls
There are more advanced functions in the Picture > Advanced... menu to be adjusted to your 
preference. To save the settings, just press MENU/EXIT to leave the OSD menu.
Setting Black Level
Highlight Black Level and press  /  on the projector or remote control to select 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE.
The grayscale video signal is measured in IRE units. In some areas which use NTSC TV standard, the 
grayscale is measured from 7.5 IRE (black) to 100 IRE (white); however, in other areas where PAL 
equipment or Japanese NTSC standards are used, the grayscale is measured from 0 IRE (black) to 100 IRE 
(white). We suggest that you check the input source to see if it is with 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE, then select 
accordingly.
Setting Noise Reduction
You may have static or noisy projected pictures. Noise Reduction reduces electrical image noise caused 
by different media players. The higher the setting, the less the noise. 
To achieve better picture clarity:
Highlight Noise Reduction and adjust the level by pressing  /   on the projector or remote control.
Selecting a color temperature*
Highlight Color Temperature and select a preferred setting by pressing  /   on the projector or 
remote control.
There are several color temperature settings available.
1.Lamp Native: With the lamp’s original color temperature and higher brightness. This setting is 
suitable for environments where high brightness is required, such as projecting pictures in well lit 
rooms.
2.Wa rm : Makes pictures appear reddish white.
3.Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4.Cool: Makes pictures appear bluish 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.

Gamma refers to the relationship between input source and picture brightness.
• Gamma 1.6/1.8/2.0/BenQ
Select these values according to your preference.
• Gamma 2.2
Increases the average brightness of the picture. Best for a lit environment, meeting room or family 
room.
• Gamma 2.4/2.5/2.6
Best for viewing movies in a darkened environment.
• Gamma 2.8
Best for viewing movies which are mostly composed of dark scenes.
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. When set to Off, Brilliant Color is 
disabled.
Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting 
room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow 
daylight into the room. 
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.

  Using the projector
EnglishThe 3D Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted to favorite colors. 
When you select each color, you can independently adjust its color range and saturation according to 
your preference.
To adjust and store the settings:
1. In the Picture menu, highlight Advanced... and press ENTER. 
Then, highlight 3D Color Management and press ENTER. The 
3D Color Management page is displayed.
2. Highlight Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from 
among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
3. Press  to highlight Range and press  /  to select the color range 
you wish to make adjustment. The bigger the range, the more 
proportions of its two adjacent colors the color contains.
Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate 
to each other. For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, 
only pure red is selected. Increasing its range will include both the red color close to yellow and red 
color close to magenta.
Press   to highlight Saturation and adjust the color saturation level by pressing  / . 
If you select Red and set its range at 0, only the saturation of the pure red will be affected. 
Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated 
colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that 
color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
4. To leave and save the settings, press MENU/EXIT.

EnglishSelecting the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. The default for this projector is 
16:10 while digital TV is usually in 16:9 ratio, and most analog TV signals and DVDs are in 4:3 ratio.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically 
stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input source. Images can 
be stretched in a linear manner so the whole of the image is stretched equally, or non-linearly, which 
distorts the image.
To change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect 
the source is):
•  Using the control button
1. Press ASPECT to show the current setting.
2. Press ASPECT repeatedly to select an aspect ratio to suit the 
format of the video signal and your display requirements.
•  Using the OSD menu
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press  /  until the Display menu is highlighted.
2. Press  to highlight Aspect Ratio.
3. Press  /  to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display 
requirements.
About the aspect ratio
1.Auto: Scales a picture proportionally to fit the projectors native 
resolution in its horizontal or vertical width. This makes the most use of 
the screen and maintains the aspect ratio of a picture
.
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 16:9 pictures like LCD 
monitors, high definition TV and 16:9 aspect DVD movies, as it displays 
them without aspect alteration.
4.16:10: 
Scales a picture 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.
5.Real: This setting displays the image in a one-to-one pixel mapping 
without alteration or resize in the center of the projection. This is most 
suitable for use with PC source inputs.
•  The black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active 
areas.
•  OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
