BenQ America today announced it is now shipping the newest generation of M5 Series projectors including the MX525, MS524 and MW526, all aimed at the small- to medium-sized (SMB) spaces. Each offer a 3,200 ANSI lumens spec, 10,000 hours of lamp life and Colorific image quality.

By combining native SVGA (MS524), XGA (MX525), and WXGA (MW526) resolutions with a 13,000:1 contrast ratio, BenQ’s newest M5 Series  features BenQ’s power-saving SmartEco technology to increase lamp life up to an astonishing 10,000 hours — dramatically reducing both power consumption and maintenance costs. By automatically adjusting projection brightness to ambient light conditions, the technology allows any home, school, or enterprise to reduce energy consumption without compromising picture quality. To further increase energy efficiency, a “standby” mode allows the M5 Series projectors to lower power usage to less than 0.5 watts during periods of inactivity.

Not only are all three projectors 3D-ready, but the M5 Series enables both audio in and out, S-Video, composite video in, RS232 and HDMI connectivity.

Now shipping, BenQ’s new MS524, MX525 and MW526 retail at $489, $529 and $749, respectively, and all the details are here.
