    • Light Source: Lamp
    • Resolution: 4K (2160p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)

    • Projector Use: Home Theater
    • Projector Throw Type: Standard Throw (The distance from the screen that the projector can be placed to project images. Standard throw projectors typically need to be at least 6 feet away while short throw and ultra short throw projectors can be placed closer to the screen for use in smaller rooms.)
    • Portability: Fixed (Fixed projectors are ideal when creating an authentic theater atmosphere in your home. Often designed to stay in one place they may require significant recalibration if moved. Portable projectors, weighing around 5 pounds, are easy to move, but will still require set-up calibration and often have technology to reduce the complexity. Ultra-portable projectors are very light, often battery-powered, and ideal for on-the-go use.)

    • Throw Ratio Range: 1.13 - 1.47:1 (This measurement indicates what size of projected image can be produced from a certain distance. The smaller the ratio, the closer the projector can be to the screen while still producing a large image.)
    • Digital Keystone Correction: true ("Keystone effect" refers to the distortion of an image when it is projected on an angled surface or when the projector is positioned too high or too low from the center of the display.

Q: Is the lamp replaceable after the 20,000 mark and it goes out? If so how much is a replacement currently?

A: The lamp is consumer replaceable; it's about a 5-minute process. A replacement currently costs $149 from BenQ.

Q: How do I connect this projector to my Bluetooth Klipsch sound bar? Which adapter do I need and will the sound be compromised?

A: The best connection is likely a wired, optical (Toslink) one. Would need to know the Klipsch model and available connections on the sound bar to confirm it would work. Otherwise, for a wireless, bluetooth connection, you will need an adapter that will complicate matters signficantly.

For the HDMI cable to be used on BenQ 4K projectors, please feel free to check out this article: https://www.benq.com/en-us/knowledge-center/knowledge/what-hdmi-cable-do-i-need-for-4k-8k-content.html; hope this helps. thank you

Q: Is this projector capable of receiving bluetooth speakers?

A: Thanks for your interest on BenQ projectors; you can connect your external speakers via Bluetooth by adding a Bluetooth adapter onto the 3.5mm Audio-out port of our projectors, or via a 3.5mm audio cable. Hope this helps
