Picture Mode
The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you can
choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal picture type.
• Bright: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable
for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the
projector in well lit rooms.
• Living Room: Being slightly brighter than Cinema mode, it is suitable for
playing movies in rooms where there is a small amount of ambient light, eg. your
living room.
• Cinema: With well-balanced color saturation and contrast with a low brightness
level, this is most suitable for enjoying movies in a totally dark environment (as
you would find in a commercial cinema).
• Sports: This mode is best for watching sporting events in rooms where is a small
amount of ambient light, et. your living room.
• Game: This mode is best for playing video games in rooms where there is a small
amount of ambient light, eg. your living room.
• User 1/User 2: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available
picture modes. See

3D Mode
This projector supports playing three-dimensional (3D) content transferred
through your 3D-compatible video devices and contents, such as PlayStation
consoles (with 3D game discs), 3D Blu-ray players (with 3D Blu-ray discs), 3D TV
(with 3D channel), and so on. After you have connected the 3D video devices to
the projector, wear the BenQ 3D glasses and make sure the power is on to view
3D contents.
When watching 3D contents,
• the image may seem misplaced, however, this is not a product malfunction.
• take appropriate breaks when watching 3D content.
• stop watching 3D content if you feel fatigue or discomfort.
• keep a distance from the screen of about three times the effective height of the screen when
watching 3D content.
• children and people with a history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any
other existing medical condition should be refrained from watching 3D content.
