Portable DLP Projector from BenQ

The BenQ SL700X is a compact XGA-resolution DLP projector that made its debut in June 2001 and was discontinued by March 2002. Designed for portability and professional presentations.

It delivers 1000 ANSI lumens of brightness with a native resolution of 1024x768 in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The fixed focal length lens supports manual focus and digital zoom, while vertical digital keystone correction helps maintain image geometry. With a throw ratio of 1.64:1, it can project images ranging from 45 to 300 inches diagonally, making it suitable for small meeting rooms or mobile setups.

The SL700X weighs just 1.5 kg and operates at 36 dB, offering a lightweight and relatively quiet solution for on-the-go projection needs.

Internally, the projector uses a single 0.7" DLP chip and a 120W VIP lamp rated for 1500 hours of use. It supports input resolutions up to SXGA (1280x1024) and is compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats. Connectivity includes VGA, S-Video, and composite RCA inputs, with a basic 1W mono speaker for onboard audio. Though lacking advanced features like lens shift or HDMI, it was a solid performer in its time, ideal for training sessions, business travel, and environments with controlled lighting. Its legacy lives on in the evolution of BenQ’s portable projector lineup.

Resolution & Aspect Ratio

The Benq SL700X features native XGA resolution at 1024x768 pixels, paired with a traditional 4:3 aspect ratio. This setup was ideal for standard presentations and legacy computer outputs, offering crisp detail for charts, spreadsheets, and training materials. While limited by modern widescreen standards, it excelled in clarity for business use during its production era.

Brightness

Delivering 1000 ANSI lumens, the projector performs adequately in dimly lit environments. It's bright enough for controlled meeting rooms or classroom settings, though ambient light can impact visibility. The balance between brightness and lamp longevity was tailored for portability and battery-conscious professionals.

Projection Size & Throw Ratio

Supports image sizes ranging from 45 to 300 inches diagonally, accommodating everything from small training sessions to larger wall-mounted projections. Its 1.64:1 fixed throw ratio simplifies setup but offers less flexibility in tight spaces, requiring thoughtful distance planning during installation.

Portability

Weighing only 1.5 kg, this projector was built for frequent travelers and mobile presenters. The compact form factor made it easy to pack alongside a laptop, and its rugged design meant it could withstand regular handling without compromising performance.

Lamp & Lifespan

At the core is a 120W VIP lamp, rated for approximately 1500 hours of use—respectable for its time. Users could anticipate months of moderate usage before needing replacement, though frequent operation would require periodic maintenance. The lamp’s lower wattage contributes to reduced heat output and power consumption.

Display Technology

Using a single 0.7-inch DLP chip, the SL700X delivers sharp images with good contrast, especially suited for data-driven visuals. DLP offers reliability and resistance to image degradation, minimizing pixel misalignment common in older LCD models.

Keystone Correction

The vertical digital keystone correction allows users to adjust for angled projection, keeping the image square on screen. This feature simplifies setup in unconventional spaces, although horizontal correction is not supported, limiting geometric flexibility.

Inputs

Connectivity options include VGA, composite RCA, and S-Video inputs—standard fare for early 2000s devices. These ports provide broad compatibility with desktops, DVD players, and legacy equipment, although modern HDMI and digital interfaces are absent.

Speaker

The onboard 1W mono speaker offers basic audio functionality—adequate for voice and low-fidelity sound. It’s a convenience feature more than a performance highlight, and external audio systems are recommended for multimedia playback.

Supported Formats

BenQ designed this unit to handle NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats, ensuring global usability across analog video standards. Whether delivering training in Tokyo, London, or Johannesburg, the SL700X could adapt to regional signals with ease.

Noise Level

Operating at 36 dB, it maintains a low audible profile in quiet settings. While not silent, the fan noise is subdued enough to avoid distraction during meetings or instruction sessions.
