welcome to my unboxing of the warzone lx6 txt projector from BenQ this is not right this is the WXGA model the one that's actually inside here is the XGA model this is just a sample unit so you guys don't worry too much about what this looks like because yours will come in a nice shiny new retail package so inside we find a couple of things honestly I can't even begin to speculate what the actual accessory is included with the retail one would be but I would say probably it comes with a power cord and probably it comes with some kind of video cable it will also come with a remote that includes a laser pointer so you can see it's covered with warnings about lasers and like stuff boom aha laser oh oh the batteries were not installed too bad ok so that includes a bunch of functionality but you're actually not limited to using this remote you can even use with the dongle that you can buy separately just I think it's like 60 bucks or something like that you can use your iPhone to control everything about it and you can even stream images slideshows or PowerPoint presentations and you can just like flip between the slides like this and stream them directly to the wireless dongle which is kind of cool it actually works with a bunch of neq projectors if you check out their app on the iTunes Store app store flavor is cult whatever it is it's not called Google Play because it's only for Apple but it's I if you check out the app it actually has a list of which projectors are compatible with the dongle and the app now this is a very cool projector will you buy one the answer is probably not will this technology trickle down and will you eventually be able to buy something like it the answer is quite possibly because this is more of a corporate view more for presentation halls schools stuff like that and less about the actual individual end user here so this is a solid-state laser projector which has a whole whack load of different advantages like standing in front of my notes I think including the fact that the I mean I can't even call it ball replacement estimating time so it they estimate Bank you estimates that you will get ten thousand hours of use out of this before you will actually have to replace the DLP wheel now it also has an eight segment wheel besides the laser backlighting it has an eight segment wheel which compared to most projectors in this kind of a product class right now are using a sixth segment wheel which gives you better color reproduction as well as absolutely wicked eighty thousand to one contrast ratio and we're not talking like funky dynamic contrast ratios we're talking actual contrast ratio we had this fired up before I put it back in the box and I gotta say guys for a DLP projector it absolutely blew me away in terms of the vividness of the colors like even looking at the Windows desktop the windows logo in the middle the green and the yellow are distinctly different than they really pop even on this like crappy off-white wall so that was very cool about it no moving parts other than the fan why do you have no moving parts written down there okay well forget that it's a short throw projector which means that from here to the wall we were able to project an image that was about from here to about here and here to here so big old huge image the practical limits of this in a dark environment are about 300 inches but I'd say probably closer to 100 to 150 inches if you're in a more brightly lit kind of environment what else are we missing here I want to make sure we don't miss anything right it's available on xga or WXGA and aha it's green so no mercury since there is no traditional projector lamp there's no mercury inside the projector lamp so that means that if it's you know thrown away or disposed of in any particular way you don't have to worry about the environmental impact of that beyond just the fact that it's you know plastic and you shouldn't throw away electronics more than you absolutely have to finally three year parts and labor warranty and near-instant on and off so it takes about three seconds to turn off and about six seconds turn back on immediately which is very cool compared to some of the uber slow traditionally backlit projectors that we've seen in the past I look at engineering a sample suite also has a 20 watt speaker built-in and let's go ahead and take a bit of a product to her here so here's the focus wheel it's got big old grippy neural shenanigans going on here all right it's got like kind of a nice blue thing going on you can actually mount this any way you want it can even mount in portrait mode and it is compatible with that so you can yeah I mean I can't imagine you know what leave a comment guys leave a comment if you can think of a reason to mount a projector in portrait mode and have it be like like a portrait image like right-side up like I cannot cannot imagine why you'd want that you can actually see the internals a little bit here you can see some electronics and whatnots and who has and here you can see some heat sinks and fans and cooling stuff going on it doesn't get super loud but I mean it's not silent or anything either in terms of inputs we've got a pretty wide variety we've got audio in 1 & 2 audio out as well as a microphone jack we've got our traditional old analog stuff so you got your composite you got your s-video you got your audio right and left you've got up to 2 VG A's in a monitor out HDMI in 2 USB ports so that's where you'll plug in that wireless dongle which actually looks a little something like this you can also read certain things directly off of it if you check out my GP 2 video I show you some of the cool things you can do with Ben Q's built-in software also have a serial port mini USB B LAN and finally a 12-volt trigger finally again the power and finally once more the Kensington lock I think that pretty much covers it so stay tuned guys because I'm gonna be doing a
