For even greater gaming comfort, the XL2730Z features BenQ’s RevolutionEyes™ technology for exceptional monitor performance by eliminating backlight flickering at all brightness levels so that gamers can engage in longer playing sessions.

Now available in 27-inches of pure gaming power, the XL2730T monitor is the continuation of the first-person shooter (FPS) revolution started by BenQ’s iconic XL2430T. Featuring Motion Blur Reduction 2.0 technology, the screen brings an ultra-smooth, blur-free, and lag-free gaming experience to today’s competitive gaming scenarios. Also equipped with the improved Black eQualizer 2.0, the full HD XL2730T is able to detect the input source and automatically adjust the amount of brightness within a range selected by the user — letting players identify targets effortlessly and react quickly to any situation without taking a timeout for manual adjustments.

Packed with market-changing features to facilitate color editing, the new QHD 2560×1440 display includes a 99-percent Adobe RGB color space to display a greater range of color reproduction for shades of blue and green while hardware calibration allows users to adjust the image-processing chip easily without changing the graphics card output data. Photographers also gain access to two preset modes to create personalized calibration settings, a 14-bit 3D Look Up Table (LUT) which improves RGB color blending accuracy for impeccable color reproduction, DeltaE<2 in both Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces for viewing integrity, in addition to both an OSD controller and a Black-and-White viewing mode.

Home Entertainment: Colorific Projectors for Accurate, Crisp, and Long-Lasting Color Reproduction

True-to-Life sRGB HC1200 Projector
Providing color beyond the imagination, BenQ’s Colorific HC1200 projector is specifically engineered to follow the sRGB industry color standard to provide improved out-of-the-box color precision over other top-selling projectors. By combining precise sRGB color accuracy with up to twice as much ANSI contrast than typical LCD projectors — reproducing images that look as bright as top-selling 4,000 lumen projectors — the device is able to offer incredible color fidelity and consistency for content that jumps off the screen. And like the entire BenQ Colorific family, the HC1200 will continue to display accurate colors for years to come without the risk of fading, ghosting, or yellowing.

HT1075 and HT1085ST Home Theater Projectors for Big Screen Enjoyment
Building on the storied success of the company’s top-selling W1070 and the short-throw W1080ST, BenQ’s new HT1075 and HT1085ST home theater projectors take content to an entirely new level by combining the magic of over 1 billion colors, 3D-readiness, and the realism of full HD 1080p picture quality. The new projectors also add streaming and mirroring capabilities for handheld devices equipped with Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) — allowing the simple transfer of small-screen content directly from any portable device. Adding to the projectors’ razor-sharp imaging are 2,200 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, which turn colors from TV shows, movies, or sporting events into more natural-looking, film-like content. The result is an astounding feature set at a surprisingly small price tag, allowing enthusiasts to easily recreate full-on cinematic experiences right out of the box.
