Short-throw projector

Well, it’s no Sony LSPX-W1S 4K short-throw projector, but the BenQ MW621ST DLP unit is less than 1/50th the cost, a fraction of the size, and it’s newly updated 64-inch viewing area from 1 meter ain’t bad at all.

The Taiwan-based, multinational BenQ is making the MW621ST available here in Japan and around the world, and it’s probably best to try sourcing it locally: while they’ve managed to fit a lot of great tech into a relatively small package, it still weighs 2.6 kg, so shipping will add a chunk to the purchase price.

If you’re in the market for a relatively affordable high-enough-res projector, something to use in smaller rooms (business & education), BenQ’s 13000:1 contrast ratio, WXGA (1280 x 800) offering should more than suffice.
