World-Leading SmartEco Technology
for a Greener Environment

As the first DLP brand to incorporate Philips’ ImageCare technology into its projector lamp system, BenQ has taken a further leap, developing its own SmartEco Technology to perfect what DLP can do for energy saving in the 21st century classroom. Built with this brand new invention, the MW516 brings together uncompromised brightness, exquisite picture quality and optimized lamp life through innovative features.

Eco Blank Mode

The Eco Blank Mode, which helps blank the screen and conserve lamp power by up to 70% when the projector is not actively in use. By blanking the projection screen, presenters get to redirect audiences’ focus back on them while keeping the Earth lookin’ great.

SmartEco Mode

The SmartEco Mode, which cleverly adjusts the lamp power to maximize power saving by delivering the best contrast and brightness performance using only as much light as needed.

No Source Detected Mode

The automatic switch to Eco Blank Mode after the projector is turned on for over three minutes without a display source, eliminating unnecessary energy waste and prolonging the life of the projector lamp.

<0.5W Standby Power Consumption

When inactive, the MW516 keeps power consumption to a minimum with <0.5 standby power. This helps extend the projector lamp life as well as reduce energy costs.

Thoughtful Features

Closed Captioning

Display subtitles in video content without the need for an external closed-captioning device with the MW516. It's perfect for viewing in educational settings such as language classes where a transcript of onscreen dialog is desirable.

Instant restart

The Instant Restart feature gives teachers a 90-second window period to turn the projector back on immediately when it has been switched off by accident – no waiting necessary.

Quick Cooling

Cooling time itself has been reduced by over 60%, saving your time and minimizing the risk of heat damage to sensitive internal components.

Teaching Template

To make your teaching job easier, BenQ has added the teaching template function to the MW516. Now, with four different line pattern designs to choose from – Letter Formation, Musical Staff, Worksheet and Coordinate Chart, you can easily write or draw on whiteboards as well as blackboards without the need of drawing lines or charts.
