BenQ MW632ST Review
The BenQ MW632ST ($629) is a WXGA (1,280-by-800) projector that's bright enough for a midsize conference room or classroom, light enough to carry, and it's one of the few models that combines a short-throw lens with an optical zoom. The short throw lets you show a big image from close to the screen, while the 1.2x zoom lets you adjust the image size without moving the projector—a significant convenience if you have to set it up virtually every time you use it, rather than install it permanently. The combination makes it a strong candidate, particularly for portable use.
Although the MW632ST ($649.00 at Amazon) doesn't offer quite enough to replace the Acer S1385WHne as our Editors' Choice budget short-throw WXGA projector, it's nipping at the Acer model's heels. The two projectors offer the same rated brightness, at 3,200 lumens, and both are built around single-chip DLP engines; as such, both offer typical DLP features like 3D support.
The MW632ST's optical zoom is an advantag...
The BenQ MW632ST WXGA projector is light enough to carry, and it offers a rare combination of a short-throw lensto give you a big image from close to the screenand a modest optical zoom.
