BenQ have launched their W500 3LCD projector which they have targeted at home theatre enthusiasts. 3LCD technology uses three LCD panels to produce an image. It has advantages such as; a brighter picture, more natural colors and greater resolution.

The BenQ W500 is a 720p high definition projector with 1,100 lumens of brightness and a high 5,000:1 contrast ratio. Conversion of standard and other definitions is handled by a HQV (Hollywood Quaity Video) processor ticking along at 10 bits/s. To smooth out any “jaggies” along the edges of moving objects, BenQ utilize their Multi-Dimensional Filtering (MDDF) technology which examines four fields rather than the common two. To make setup easy lens shift for squaring up the image on the screen is achieved using a joystick. There are also a number of quick select projection modes.
