Digital Keystone and Matterhorn DLP Architecture
The BenQ PE8700 features a digital keystone correction system for quick and straightforward setup, allowing accurate image alignment without physically repositioning the projector. It is also one of the most affordable projectors to incorporate the DLP Matterhorn chipset, delivering reliable widescreen performance in a cost-effective home cinema solution.
Superior Picture Quality
This single-DMD DLP™ design delivers consistent picture quality with strong contrast performance and excellent color uniformity. Images appear balanced and stable across the screen, making it well suited to film and video playback in controlled viewing environments.
Accurate Colour Reproduction
Accurate colour reproduction is achieved through a 16.7 million-colour palette combined with a six-segment colour wheel. This configuration ensures natural colour transitions, improved saturation, and faithful rendering of skin tones and cinematic content.
Dynamic Performance and Rich Grayscale
The six-segment colour wheel enables refresh rates of up to 300 Hz, producing smooth motion and rich grayscale performance. This high refresh capability minimizes colour flicker and significantly reduces the rainbow effect commonly associated with single-DMD DLP™ projectors.
Sealed Optical Engine with High-Quality Lens
A sealed optical engine combined with a high-quality lens design maximizes optical performance while preventing dust intrusion. This design eliminates light leakage and protects against dust-related image artefacts such as visible spots on the projected image.
Low-Noise Operation
The projector employs a specialized cooling system engineered for quiet operation, producing noise levels below 30 dB. This ensures minimal distraction during movie playback, making it suitable for dedicated home cinema environments.
Wide Range of Video Inputs
Support is provided for a broad selection of video formats including Composite, S-Video, Component, DTV Y/PB/PR, DTV RGB, and DVI-I. HDTV signals are accessed via BNC connectors, reducing signal degradation over longer cable runs and maintaining image integrity.
HDTV Compatibility
The projector is HDTV-ready and compatible with 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, and 1080i signals when used with an external DTV decoder. This ensures flexibility across a wide range of broadcast and source formats.
Advanced De-Interlacing with 3:2 Pull-Down
Proprietary de-interlacing technology provides accurate scaling and film-to-video conversion using 3:2 pull-down processing. This results in smooth motion and artifact-free images, particularly when displaying film-based content.
Picture-in-Picture and Picture-on-Picture
PIP and POP functionality allows two video sources to be displayed simultaneously on screen. This feature is useful for comparing inputs or monitoring multiple sources during presentations or demonstrations.
Video Memory Presets
Video memory storage enables users to save up to three custom image settings. This allows quick switching between optimized profiles for different content types without the need for repeated manual adjustments.
