BenQ TH671ST 1080p Short Throw Gaming Projector, 3000 Lumens, Low Input Lag for Gaming, Built-in 5W Speaker

Product Information

Given its design parameters, there is really nothing to complain about here. The BenQ TH671ST delivers accurate Rec.709 color, superb clarity, bright imagery, and low input lag just as promised. Though 3D isn’t a big draw for consumers any longer, it still looks great on this projector. With a compact chassis and short-throw lens, it can be set up just about anywhere. It’s small enough to be portable but that also makes it ideal for smaller media rooms where one might not have 10 or 15 feet of depth to throw a 100” image. The TH671ST can do it from just five feet away, on a coffee table, or hung from the ceiling. Among the TH671ST's most noteworthy features is its 1.2x zoom, an unusual extra for a short throw. Any short throw lens lets you set up the projector close to the screen for a big image in a small room—for example, small apartments or dorm rooms. But a zoom lens adds convenience and offers greater flexibility of placement, letting you adjust the zoom, rather than move the projector, to match the image to the screen size. This is particularly welcome for portable use, where moving from one location to another means having to set up the projector each time. Portability is also enhanced by surprisingly robust audio for such a small projector. Note that we saw an occasional skipped frame when watching movies at 24 frames per second (fps)—though not at 60 fps. Skipped frames are usually visible as a random, judder-like jump (only bigger) in the middle of a camera pan, or in the movement of an on-screen object when the camera is fixed. It seemed to happen more frequently with LumiExpert on, however, these skips were rare and not reliably repeatable. BenQ has been looking into the issue to determine if it's isolated to our set-up or something that might require a firmware correction. Kong: Skull Island is a reference Blu-ray in its HD version. Here, I looked for the warm colors of the seventies as the characters visit a strange place filled with horrific CGI monsters. Not only did details like Kong’s hair pop right out, the image had lots of depth despite a flat color palette. Though much of the scenery appears shot through a filter, I could always see the finest textures and most subtle elements. Superior motion quality was again evident as objects flew with lightning speed across the screen without even a hint of blur. The TH671ST’s menu system is just like the one I’ve encountered on many previous BenQ projectors. If you want to avoid the detailed settings, just choose the Basic version which only gives you, well, the basics like input selection, picture modes, and the like. Tweakers and videophiles will want to choose Advanced for full access to all the calibration controls and features.

is still a thing with some enthusiasts and BenQ always provides a good experience. The TH671ST is a little brighter than most and that just makes it all the better. Upon putting Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs in the player, the projector switched immediately to its 3D picture mode. This CGI animated feature is simple in texture but abounds with bright saturated colors. I never wanted for more contrast and the depth effect was clean and clear with no ghosting artifacts or motion blur. DLP is still my favorite technology for watching 3D and BenQ doesn’t just include it as an afterthought. the graphical representation of a projector in the middle of the calculator, you will see dimension lines that will tell you the Throw Distance Throw Distance. Unlike most short throw projectors, the TH671ST offers a zoom lens, which adds flexibility for positioning the projector to help make setup easy. Simply place the projector at approximately the right distance from the screen, and then fit the image to the screen by adjusting the 1.2x zoom, rather than moving the projector. The range for a 110-inch 16:9 image is roughly 5.5 to 6.7 feet. The BenQ TH671ST Projection Calculator will let you find the throw distance range for the image size you want. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 27th November 2023.

As an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years. lumens of high brightness let you watch in relatively bright settings or even with lights on. Perfect for meeting rooms. Zoom Lens ring on your projector. The Zoom Range slider in the calculator will help you calculate the changes made by a Zoom Lens. in your room. The position of the projector in your room changes because you will need to move the projector closer or further away from the screen

With video optimized settings, the TH671ST can light up a 120-inch 1.2-gain screen in moderately bright ambient light using full power, or a 100-inch 1.2-gain screen in Economic mode. And the LumiExpert feature can adjust gamma automatically for the current ambient light level, with a dedicated menu button on the remote so you can easily tweak its effect to taste.

BenQ TH671ST Connection Panel Inputs

With an outstanding brightness figure of 3000 ANSI Lumens, the TH671ST suits all types of lighting conditions. Even during daylight conditions with curtains or blinds open, the TH670 produces a watchable and detailed picture - perfect for gaming on a weekend afternoon. For optimal performance, BenQ’s LumiExpert technology detects lighting conditions and automatically adjusts the brightness to suit. Lens offset. The lens offset for the TH671ST is designed for placement on a low table, with the bottom edge of the image falling somewhere between the lens centerline and up to 5% of the image height above it. For example, with a 100-inch high image the bottom edge would be anywhere between even with the lens centerline and 5 inches above it. The bottom edge of the image on our test unit was about 4% of the image height above the centerline, which is within typical sample-to-sample variation.
