Featuring a remarkable brightness of 2800 ANSI lumens, ultra-high contrast ratio of 13000:1 and an XGA resolution, the cost-effective and eco-friendly BenQ Entry XGA/WXGA MX518 Projector offers a spectacular full-screen presentation with the finest details even if the ambient light level is low. 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. Built with this brand new invention, the MX518 brings together unmatched brightness, brilliant picture quality and optimized lamp life through innovative features.
It has Eco Blank mode which helps teachers to direct focus of their students back on them by blanking the projection screen whenever they need– or simply when the projector is not in use. When activated, this special feature dims the lamp power automatically, reducing the total power consumption by up to 70 percent. The SmartEco mode is designed to use only the exact amount of lamp power a projector needs to deliver the best contrast performance. With this feature, schools are able to provide students and teachers the best projection quality and reduce the total cost of ownership by extending the lamp life and reducing power consumption.
A unique feature created by BenQ is the No Source Detected Mode. There will be times when a projector is turned on without a display source, such as a classroom PC or notebook. To avoid a projector from running with full lamp power, the No Source Detected Mode lowers the projector lamp brightness to 30 percent after the projector has remained unconnected to a display source for more than three minutes.

When inactive, the BenQ Entry XGA/WXGA MX518 Projector keeps power consumption to a minimum with 0.5W standby power, a feature absent in all other earlier projector models. This technological advancement in energy saving helps extend the projector lamp life and lower energy costs.
Designed to maximize your audio-visual enjoyment, the BenQ Entry XGA/WXGA MX518 Projector brings to you unlimited 3D entertainment via HDMI. The 3D formats supported are 3D field-sequential, 3D frame-packing, 3D top-and-bottom and 3D side-by-side. You get display subtitles in video content without the need for an external closed–captioning device with the MX518. It's ideal for viewing in educational settings such as language classes where a transcript of onscreen dialogue is necessary.
For easy accessibility, the I/O ports are clearly printed on the projector housing so users can find the port they need right away. No need to squint your eyes or bend over to get a better look. The Instant Restart feature gives teachers a 90–second window period to restart the projector instantly when it has been switched off by accident, meaning much time is saved. Cooling time itself has been reduced by over 60 percent, saving your time and minimizing the risk of heat damage to sensitive internal components.
BenQ has added the teaching template function to the BenQ SVGA MX518 Projector for the convenience of teaching. Choose from four different line pattern designs – Letter Formation, Musical Staff, Worksheet and Coordinate Chart, and easily write or draw on whiteboards as well as blackboards without the need of drawing lines or charts.
