BenQ MS560 Business Projector, 4000 Lumens, DLP, S

Brightness and Reliability for Classes and Presentations
I have been using the BenQ SVGA (MS560) business projector for two years in various settings to teach classes, and I am very satisfied with its performance and quality. This projector has proven to be a reliable tool, especially in situations where I need to project in well-lit spaces, thanks to its high brightness of 4000 lumens, which ensures a clear and sharp image even in rooms with natural light.Image Quality and Brightness:The image quality offered by this projector is excellent for its price range. The 20,000:1 contrast ratio allows for good differentiation between dark and light tones, which is particularly useful when displaying text and graphics in presentations. Although I have noticed that in very bright rooms, the image quality can slightly diminish, it remains sufficiently clear to be visible and effective for learning. This makes it ideal for presentations and classes where controlling the lighting of the environment is not always possible.Ease of Setup and Use:One of the features I like the most is the automatic keystone correction, which greatly facilitates installation and image adjustment, allowing for hassle-free use. The setup is quite simple, and the projector has multiple ports, including dual HDMI and VGA, offering great flexibility to connect different devices, from laptops to older equipment.Versatility and Image Options:The BenQ MS560 projector offers several predefined image modes that can be adjusted according to needs, which is a plus for adapting presentations to different lighting conditions and types of content. It also has lighting modes that help extend the lamp’s lifespan, which is an advantage for frequent use in educational environments.Design Considerations:In terms of design, I appreciate its robust construction, although it would be convenient if it included a lens cover to prevent damage when transported. Additionally, it is important to note that the image becomes distorted if the projector is not placed directly in front of the screen; there is no option for horizontal correction, which can slightly limit flexibility regarding projector placement. However, with proper installation, this has not been a significant issue for me.Value for Money:Compared to other projectors on the market, I consider the BenQ MS560 to offer excellent value for money. While there are cheaper projectors that promise advanced features like Full HD resolution, I have found that many of them require total darkness for good projection, which is not always practical in educational settings. In contrast, the BenQ MS560 provides a clear and bright projection in various lighting conditions, making it much more versatile for my needs.Conclusion:Overall, the BenQ SVGA (MS560) business projector is a solid choice for professionals who need a reliable and easy-to-use projector for presentations and classes. Its high brightness, good image quality, and ease of setup make it a valuable tool in educational and business settings. After two years of use, I am very pleased with its performance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality projector at a reasonable price.

Third times a (third) charm!
This is our third unit to replace projectors that costs 5 times this model. Each one has been FANTASTIC. The other two are 6 years old and still running extremely smoothly!

I got a lemon
I had this same projector for several years, used it almost daily, and it held up fine. Because I live where it’s not easy to get things, when the old one started to give me problems, I ordered a back up. When I plugged it in a few months later, it worked for a month or two. Then it started making unhappy noises when I turned it on but for another month, I could still get it to work. By month 3 of use I could only get it to work occasionally and shortly there after, not at all. Because I didn’t start using it as soon as I got it, it had already passed the time to send it back by the time I knew I had problems. I typically buy the insurance but somehow forgot this time. Needless to say, it was a very disappointing purchase. I didn’t give it a horrible rating because I believe it’s basically an ok product and I just got unlucky and got the lemon.

Buyer beware
Just got this projector yesterday. I plugged it in hit the power button and got this temperature light and the projector shut down. The remote was shipped with the batteries in it. I have a suspicion it has been repackaged and resold.

Projector was easy to set up. Crisp projection and great illumination in a semi light boardroom.

El proyector es bueno, a 2.7m proyecta una imagen de 45″, tiene correccion vertical automatica y funciona muy bien, la bocina que incluye es basica, para alguna presentacion creo que es suficiente, tiene todo tipo de puertos, incluyendo algunos mas antiguos como s-video y vga para equipos no tan recientes, el puerto usb no reproduce contenido, me imagino que es unicamente para proporcionar energia o para conexion con el pc por medio de algun cable, no tiene ningun tipo de conectividad inalambrica, incluye un control remoto, tiene varios modos de imagen prefefinidos y puedes modificarlos a gusto, tambien tiene 4 modos de iluminacion para poder hacer rendir mas la lampara en caso de necesitarse, la iluminacion es muy buena, pero si lo usas en un aula sin cortinas en un dia soleado se atenua la imagen un 60% por lo que se ocuparian cortinas. Lo que no me gusto es que no tiene un protector del lente y no se puede corregir la imagen si proyectas desde un lado, osea el proyector tiene que estar justo frente a donde quieres proyectar de lo contrario se distorciona la imagen y no hay manera de corregirlo, la distancia de tiro es muy larga a mi parecer, a 2.7 m 45″ para el costo que tiene mejor consigo una pantalla de 50″, para un auditorio supongo estaria bien. Lo demas es que pues en pleno 2023 todos los proyectores de todas las marcas reconocidas te ofrecen una calidad e video pesima, para conseguir fullhd tienes que gastar mas de 20mil pesos mexicanos, lo cual es ridiculo, actualemente encuentras proyectores chinos led desde $1500 pesos fullhd, con correccion trapezoidal vertical automatica, correccion de 4 puntos, miracast, wifi 6, bluetooth 5, android 11, con sonido similar o mejor, menor consumo de energia, mas compactos, con una proyecccionde 130″ a 2.7m de distancia. Pero eso si con muy pocos lumens, necesitas que este completamente oscuro para proyectar una excelente imagen. En general dentro de de las opciones que hay en el mercado es excelente por el precio.

Great machine at a great price. It’s portable, and bright in a bright room. I thought it’d overheat and shut off (prior experience) but it did not.
