BenQ announced today the release of its new 1.5kg (3.3lb.) Commuter Series CP270 ultra-lightweight projector geared towards on-the-go professionals and room-to-room projector sharing. With specifications ideally suited to SOHO and SMB use, the CP270 features a native XGA (1024x768) resolution, 2000 ANSI lumens and an appropriate 1000:1 contrast ratio. Smart features and high-end appointments that make a big impression in picture quality, ease of use and total cost of ownership include Texas Instruments’® DLP and BrilliantColor™ technologies, proprietary 3D Color Management, waveform control, industry-leading Quick Auto Search and numerous presentation extras. As powerful as its functionality is the CP270’s sophisticated exterior, designed to make a perfect, polished impression for today’s business traveler.

Small in Size, Big on Presentations
Packed into the CP270’s compact
190 x 77.5 x 205 mm size is a full repertoire of presentation power. Boasting a higher fill factor than LCD technology, DLP (Digital Light Processing) renders text, charts and fine details in razor-sharp, easy-to-read definition critical for data-intense business presentations. Vibrant, high-impact images are made possible by DLP’s consistent, never-fade color intensity, BenQ’s advanced 6-segment Golden Ratio color wheel and BrilliantColor color processing, which boosts brightness levels by up to 50% and drastically amplifies mid-tone hues. Users can also fine-tune colors with BenQ’s 3D Color Management – an exclusive advancement that enables independent adjustment of hue, saturation and boldness of all six color wheel tones (red, green, blue, cyan, white and yellow) without colors compromising each other.

Optimized preset modes such as Dynamic, sRGB, Cinema, Presentation and Standard further facilitate flawless viewing. Each of the 11 modes is characterized by a distinct waveform to produce the best visual experience whether for gaming, movie watching (with special selection for dark or colorful movies), AutoCAD, PowerPoint or any other projection needs.

And because the CP270 is geared towards mobile users, it is designed for speedy setup, extreme ease of use and durability. Presentations are up and running fast with Power On/Off tone, Quick Auto Search (the industry’s fastest source detection at just 2 seconds), OnScreen FAQ and Wall Color Correction, a big convenience plus for accurately rendered colors when a screen is not available. Presentations are kept running smoothly with numerous smart features: Presentation Timer lets audiences know how much time remains; Panel Key Lock prevents accidental pressing of control buttons; and a full-function remote puts all adjustments from freeze to digital zoom to keystone and timer in the palm of your hand. 30-Second Quick Cooling gets users swiftly packed and on to the next location. Plus, the CP270 is engineered for high-dust, high-traffic settings while its filter-free design eliminates the time and costs of filter cleaning and replacement.

Projecting an Image of Sophistication and Class
Equally essential for the on-the-go professional is the CP270’s sleek exterior, which was designed to reflect the same sophistication and professional image as that of a luxury name card holder. A cool matte silver topside is accented by a fluid wraparound of raised lines in a high-gloss mirror black finish that, despite its glassy sheen, is highly scratch-resistant.

"The CP270 was engineered to be the ultimate weapon for the professional who is always out conducting business meetings,” said Manfred Wang, Director of the BenQ Lifestyle Design Center. “It performs exceptionally and looks amazingly sharp. Its sleek styling conveys a polished sophistication extremely critical for the businessman’s first impression. And it carries that same persuasive refinement throughout the meeting with superb projection capabilities."
