"Enjoyable home entertainment today shouldn't be limited by price or environment," said Rachel Dohmann, marketing manager at BenQ America Corp. "The high-def BenQ TH671ST is enriched with all the latest features you'd only expect from big-ticket projectors. Now homeowners can maximize their budget with an entertainment projector that delivers immersive gaming and movie-watching experiences, and takes advantage of today's range of mobile content sources--all with incredibly easy setup for any living room."
One-Stop Home Entertainment Projector
The BenQ TH671ST Full HD 1080p resolution projector is designed to allow homeowners to have more entertainment options. For gamers, it brings heart-pounding action to the living room with low 16.67-ms input lag and microsecond DMD response time for ultra-smooth gaming experiences without unwanted motion blur and image lag. In addition to the high 3,000-lumen brightness for lights-on enjoyment, it comes equipped with BenQ's exclusive LumiExpert technology, which actively detects the ambient light conditions and automatically adjusts visual brightness for maximum comfort and clarity. An onboard five-watt stereo speaker offers custom Cinema, Music, Sports, and Game modes that enable nuanced, clear audio based off content. Making it easier for viewers to untether their media content from their mobile devices, the USB-A power port allows for the use of wireless streaming dongles such as Chromecast, FireTV stick, or Roku.
Flexible and Simple Setup, Long-lasting Picture
The rich HD picture of the BenQ TH671ST is further complemented by a step-by-step setup wizard that includes basic and advanced options to fine-tune the picture to fit the space. The projector's short-throw design only requires as little as five feet to project stunning 100" pictures. Furthermore, for professionally aligned images from a variety of locations--even when the projector must be placed off-center--vertical keystone correction counters the trapezoid effect and adjusts the image. Finally, the LampSave mode protects the lifespan of the projector and maximizes the homeowner's investment, delivering up to 15,000 hours of enjoyment.
The BenQ TH671ST will be available soon in the U.S. for $749 MSRP from BenQDirect.com, Best Buy, Fry's, NewEgg and B&H.
