BenQ MS527 SVGA 3300 lumen Projector
Bright SVGA Display and DLP Technology
The BenQ MS527 is a DLP business projector delivering 3,300 ANSI lumens with SVGA (800x600) resolution and a 13,000:1 contrast ratio. Its Digital Light Processing technology, featuring a six-segment color wheel and BrilliantColor, ensures vibrant images and crisp text, ideal for small to medium meeting rooms with ambient light. Supports 3D via HDMI for immersive presentations. Users praise its brightness but note the SVGA resolution limits detail for HD content.
Versatile Connectivity and Easy Setup
With a 1.1x zoom (1.96–2.15:1 throw ratio) and vertical keystone correction (±40°), the MS527 projects 30"–300" images with flexible placement. Connectivity includes HDMI (3D-ready), 2x VGA, S-Video, composite, RS232, USB Mini-B, and audio in/out (3.5mm). The 2W speaker supports small rooms, but external audio is recommended for larger venues. Auto source detection and triple adjustment feet simplify setup. Users appreciate the portability (1.95 kg) but report occasional HDMI recognition issues.
Eco-Friendly Design and Long Lamp Life
The MS527’s 190W lamp lasts 4,500 hours (Normal), 6,500 hours (SmartEco), or 10,000 hours (LampSave). SmartEco Mode reduces power consumption by up to 70%, and Eco Blank Mode lowers lamp power to 30% when no source is detected. Features like Kensington lock and a security bar deter theft. Users value the long lamp life and low maintenance (~$99 replacement) but note fan noise (33 dB Normal) in quiet settings.
