Product Information

The bigger problem with Bright mode is the loss of gradations to the point of showing a hint of posterization in demanding images. Despite that, Bright mode with defaults is our choice for the presentation-optimized setting, even for presentations that include photorealistic images. Most people will also consider it acceptable for occasional use in, say, a family room in daytime when they absolutely need the extra brightness. 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 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.

If your selected projector has a Zoom Lens then the projector's Throw Distance or Image Size can be finely adjusted by moving the

lumens of high brightness let you watch in relatively bright settings or even with lights on. Perfect for meeting rooms. Light Mode contains the four lamp levels. Normal is brightest followed by Eco which cuts output by about 35%. SmartEco throttles brightness and roughly doubles static contrast with occasionally visible image pumping. LampSave also varies output and extends lamp life to a claimed 15,000 hours. 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. Impressive as the BenQ TH671ST is in 2D, it's only when you take advantage of the optional 3D system that the picture becomes truly immersive. Just add the optional BenQ 3D glasses, connect up to a suitable source and enjoy 3D images that are every bit as bold as at the cinema. As with virtually all inexpensive home theater projectors we've tested, the brightness variation is easy to see with a 100% white or light colored image. With the projector sitting on a table, brightness is highest at the bottom center of the image, and gradually falls going up and to either side, making the upper left and right corners the dimmest. Those who are particularly sensitive to brightness variations may find this unacceptable. However the difference is hard to see with any image that breaks up the field of view.

The perfect resolution for Blu-ray and gaming, 1080p Full HD gives noticeably more detail than standard HD resolution. Suddenly, you'll see texture in the grass on the pitch, subtle detail in wildlife documentaries and a whole new depth of image. The larger the screen and the closer you sit the greater the benefit, making 1080p more impressive on a projector at home compared to a TV.

BenQ TH671ST Features / Advantages

Input lag is the major curse for gamers. There’s little more frustrating to a gamer than when the vision just doesn’t respond fast enough to the controls. It can mean the difference between onscreen life or death, a lap record or second place or simply missing out on completing the level in time. With its class-leading 16.67ms response, the TH671ST is the fastest responding projector in its class. Whether you’re using a PS4, Xbox or Nintendo Switch, now there’s no excuse for not beating your rival to the draw. Countering the trapezoid effect when the projector must be placed off-center, such as simple placement on top of a table, vertical keystone adjusts the image for a professionally squared image. Keystone correction makes it simple to project ideally aligned images from a variety of locations. Zoom Lens Light Loss. The 1.2x zoom isn't large enough to curtail brightness significantly at the telephoto end of the lens. You can safely ignore the potential light loss when choosing how far to put the projector from the screen.
