BenQ
BlueCore Light Engine: a Smarter Alternative to Traditional Lamp
The BenQ LX20 is the first in the world to be equipped
BlueCore, a light engine that utilizes the unparalleled qualities of a laser
light source to achieve optimized energy efficiency, projection performance and
readiness. It also incorporates the BlueCore-enhanced SmartEco™ Advanced
technology to further reduce light source power consumption by up to 90% for a
significantly lowered total cost of projector maintenance and ownership. Free
of mercury, the BenQ LX20 is a safer, smarter and environmentally friendly
choice for your school.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
80000:1
High Contrast Performance for Ultra Sharp Graphics and Text
Blurry images can be distracting for students to read
and can cause eye strains and fatigue. The BlueCore light engine can dim the
light source power up to 90% and still achieve a contrast ratio as high as
80000:1. This allows students to learn with ultra sharp images and text so they
can focus their attention on learning.
20000
Hours of Optimal Brightness and Reliable Performances
The BlueCore light engine, powered by a laser light
source in Eco Mode, has nearly three times the lamp life of a traditional
mercury lamp. With up to 20000 hours of light source life, the LX20 offers a
much more reliable performance with no sudden decrease in brightness.
Instant
On/Off Projection Readiness for Classroom Instruction
It only takes a few seconds for the LX20 to reach full
brightness using BlueCore technology. In addition, it doesn’t require
additional time to cool down. That leaves teachers with more time to teach
without having to wait around between classes.
360°
Degree Tilt Projection
Thanks to the laser characteristics of the BlueCore
light engine and the heat sink design, users have the flexibility to set up the
LX20 tilted 360° degrees in either direction around the vertical! This gives
teachers the flexibility to place the projector any way they want and optimize
limited space.
Power
Smart with the SmartEco Advanced Technology
Driven by BenQ’s latest BlueCore Light Engine, the all
new SmartEco Advanced technology optimizes the core element of the projector –
the projector light source system – to save up to 90% in light source power
consumption! For schools that are looking for ways to lower the total cost of
ownership, SmartEco Advanced certainly helps to reduce energy costs and extend
the light source life.
SmartEco
Mode
The SmartEco Mode automatically determines the optimal
brightness depending on the input source. This special mode cleverly adjusts
the light source power to maximize power saving – delivering the best contrast
and brightness performance at the same time.
No
Source Detected Mode
SmartEco Advanced activates the Eco Blank Mode after the
projector has remained unconnected to a display source, such as a classroom PC
or notebook, for three minutes, automatically lowering the projector brightness
to 10%. This is to avoid keeping a projector from running with full lighting
power, allowing the projector light source to rest whenever possible. Hence,
the projector light source lasts longer.
Eco
Blank Mode
The Eco Blank Mode allows teachers to blank the
projection screen when the projector is not in use. Blanking the projection
screen also allows teachers to direct their students’ focus back on them. Press
the “Eco Blank Mode” button on the keypad or the “Blank” button on the remote
control to activate this feature and watch the projector dims the light source
power automatically, lowering the total light source power consumption by up to
90%.
Razor-Sharp
Clarity with Ultra-Readability
Enabling a 96% fill factor, DLP Technology supplies
pixel circuitry behind the pixel, thereby eliminating the thick dark bezels
around individual pixels, which diminish color and detail. A higher fill factor
and less black border translate to noticeably purer, more intense color and
smoother image quality.
BenQ DLP Projectors also feature high contrast ratios for flawless rendering of
small text, fine lines, and dark scene details. Blacks are deeper and overall
image quality is more focused and clean. Your presentations will be easily
readable and highly effective, even from the back row of a well-lit venue.
Vibrant,
True-to-Life Colors
Even in lit venues, BenQ DLP Projectors achieve the
optimal balance of brightness and color accuracy, with BrilliantColor™
Technology additionally boosting true-to-life colors that captivate.
BrilliantColor enables up to six-color processing by incorporating the
secondary colors Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta along with primary Red, Blue, and
Green. From intense hues to elusive mid-tones like aqua blues and light
yellows, your every presentation is rendered in pure, living splendor.

What is BlueCore?
BlueCore
Laser Techonolgy
Superior
Image Quality
To harness the high output of the powerful blue laser
light, BenQ engineers utilized dual color wheels for BlueCore Laser Projectors
to significantly improve pure white and brightness which is ideal for
presentations. In addition to strikingly clear and bright white, pure RGBY
colors are achieved by eliminating the white segment of a conventional color
wheel to produce an ideal mixture of the red, green, blue and yellow color
segments. Through this optimization of RGBY colors, BenQ Laser Projectors produce
brilliant color and a wider range of color gamut.
Enduring
Reliability
BenQ BlueCore Laser Projectors are guaranteed for 20,000
hours of superior image quality and brightness performance. The laser light
source resists color decay over time, making BenQ Laser Projectors ideal for
multiple blending projections without concern that adjacent projectors may
generate different levels of brightness after a period of operation.
Excellent
Installation Flexibility
BlueCore laser technology guarantees reliable projection
from any angle. Dynamic installation options such as 360° rotation and portrait
applications, allowing projection onto ceiling, walls, floors or angled
signage.
