Lol. I will definitely try. I'd actually love to figure out a way to mount the projector upside down instead of the way it is now on there. I wish I could have someone help me create what I am looking to do there. It still works but I want to take advantage of the extension that can go up to 10 feet if needed and in order to do that it would be best to mount the projector upside down as if it was hanging from the ceiling!!
Coming from someone who doesn’t have a simulator yet… What’s causing the “waves” of green to yellow color changes on your screen during your bright/golf mode demonstration ? It seems that would be quite distracting while playing a game.
Great point! I should've mentioned this is only caused by the camera filming the screen and cannot be seen by the human eye. Has something to do with frames per second. I've adjusted multiple camera settings but can't seem to fix it. It is called "banding" I believe and can only be seen on camera. You do not see this in person. Kind of how with old school tv's when it was recorded on camera you would see the same thing.
Any chance of a black friday sale on this? Also is it me or is it not that bright especially in the parts of your video with some lights on. Seems like 4000 lumens should be brighter.
@@mjmurphy53711608 Definitely not the brightest projector I’ve tested for sure. The technology on it though, however, is pretty darn awesome. As stated in the video I would’ve liked to have seen a little bit brighter image out of the box, but it is definitely a good quality projector when you can have it in a darker environment without a lot of ambient light. I have not heard any word on any black Friday sales from Ben Q at this point, though if I do hear of anything, I will alert everyone right away on our website.
I agree. I had one and other than the slight ease of setup (which is no big deal to do manually as you only do it once) this was not at all impressive. It was no brighter than the $300 Chinese unit I was going to replace it with. A lot of $ for just the setup feature.
@@JT-oy3sc exactly, I'm not sure it's "actually" 4000 lumens because my buddy has a different benq w/ 4000 lumens and it's very bright. I read somewhere (can't recall) that it's actually 2800 lumens, but they can claim 4000 on the "bright" setting.
@@GarageGolf Any chance you could clarify with benq if its ACTUALLY 4000 lumens or if it's just a gimmicky bright setting? Again I've just personally experienced 4000 lumen projectors that are far brighter. This seems about as bright as the 671
@@mjmurphy53711608 I did ask and they did say it is actually 4000 lumens. Since I did use corner correct on my video that will take some of the brightness away is what I am being told.

Need a 4k version of this projector
I believe we will see that possibly in quarter 1 2025.
It would be perfect in 4k. How clear was the picture vs a 4k?
Roland, I need that monitor stand trolly. When you get it perfected I will buy one - hurry up.
