BenQ projector on sale at Aldi 27 Aug - anyone have a scan of it?

SupeNintendoChalmers on 16/08/2013 - 09:20

The Aldi website hasn't listed the projector yet, but I want to confirm the model number, lumens and resolution.

I remember they will sell it for $399, but lost the advertisement.

Thanks in advance

      1024 x 768 resolution - so 4x3 aspect ratio (not great for movies)

      1.1x zoom

      No talk of HDMI either

        according to the manual there is HDMI

        Digital-HDMI x 1 (MS517/MX518/
        MW519/MS507H/TW519

        ftp://supportfiles.benq.eu/projector/manuals/tw519/tw519_en.…

        which is link for

        MS517/MX518/MW519/MS517F/MX518F
        MX503H/MS507H/TW519

          There is no HDMI - ALDI is selling the MX518F.

          Look more closely on page 18 of the manual.
          The MS517/MX518/MW519 have HDMI

          while ALDI is selling the BenQ MX518F according to their catalogue - which doesn't have HDMI according to the manual the MS517F/MX518F both do not have HDMI.

          Buyer beware. As the manual may be a little misleading as to the inclusion of HDMI if you do not look closely. However, Aldi has advertised the unit correctly and has not listed HDMI as an input - simply because it is not one…

    Your saying the resolution isn't great for movies?

    This is what is the preferences for a projector below, would I not be able to view television on this projector?

    Detail on pixel info for projectors
    If most of your viewing is HDTV, get as high a native pixel count as possible (preferably 1920x1080). A native pixel count of 1024x768 is sufficient for DVD. However, 720p HDTV signals require a 1280x720 pixel count for native display, while a 1080i HDTV input signal needs a native pixel count of 1920x1080. If you have a Blu-ray Disc player, consider a projector with 1920x1080 native pixel resolution and the ability to the display the 1080p format.

    So would it just be if you did 720p HDTV or play a blu-ray the quality would just be dvd quality but would work?

    • Checkboy on 19/08/2013 - 21:14

      Yes, all video formats still will work. And yep you are correct, 1080p videos just won't be in full HD; rather will be in 720p (limited by the projectors resolution).

      Just like many laptops out there (are 720p screens).

    I wish Aldi still sell those, so I can watch my Shang-Chi.
