How Our Projectors Achieve THX Certification
To earn this prestigious and exclusive distinction, BenQ engineers pursued
over 18 months of rigorous development comprising 200 THX laboratory tests
covering over 500 data points. This intensive development process involved 10
times as much data analysis and 7 times the engineering effort and resources in
precise color and gamma adjustments as required for pure Rec. 709 compliance,
resulting in supreme overall image performance to pass 3 rounds of live testing
at THXs San Francisco headquarters.
Rec. 709 HDTV Standard for the Finest Cinematic Color and Authentic
HDTV Color Accuracy
Rec. 709 is the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate replica of
cinematic color as the director intended.
With RGBRGB Color Wheel, W11000 is calibrated for cinematic color modeled on
the HDTV standard, Rec. 709, to deliver refined colors that are the truest
possible reproduction of the original palette of your video.
How Our Projectors Are Designed for Rec. 709
Only displays that conform to Rec. 709 can reproduce colors correctly in all
images through an entire movie. While most projector manufacturers choose a
saturated color tone bias to increase colorfulness, resulting in color accuracy
loss, W11000 achieves the Rec. 709 color standard. The process of building a
projector includes many variables such as lenses, lamps and color wheel coating.
We work relentlessly to close any gaps from those variances and to make our
projectors perform exactly to Rec. 709. This is because we believe that colors
matter to our users when enjoying movies as they were meant to be seen.
Hardware Design
BenQs ISF-trained expert engineers tried more than 20 different combinations
of color segments and color wheel coating, the factors that directly affect
color gamut and brightness of a projector.
Software Optimization
To maximize color accuracy, the process of software optimization involved
adjusting the blacks, whites and greys towards D65 defined by Rec. 709. And the
three primary and three secondary colors were adjusted one by one, until they
were as close as possible to the references on the Rec. 709 color gamut.
Production Line Quality Control
Three color adjustment stations in the production line perform final checks
on every single unit of our Rec. 709 projectors. Using exclusive BenQ color
adjustment procedures, we make sure each projector is manufactured according to
the Rec. 709 color standard, and BenQ quality engineers perform final color
tests on each projector built to ensure Rec. 709 performance.
High Native Contrast for the Finest Details
As one of the most important characteristics that determine the picture
quality performance, native ANSI measures the ability of projectors to produce
extreme levels of brightness and darkness. Generating industry-leading levels of
high native ANSI contrast ratio performance, W11000 produces clearly deep, true
blacks and resolves subtle layers and fine details in dark and bright scenes
without washout.
Dynamic Black Technology with Active Iris Control for Intelligent
Contrast Optimization
Active iris controls the amount of light passing through the optical system
to optimize contrast performance according to the scene. Dynamic Black
technology analyzes the brightness levels of the scene to ideally adjust light
output and contrast. Working to bring out subtle details in dark shadows and
preventing bright scenes from becoming washed out, W11000 delivers impressive
contrast for true black rendition and amazing picture depth, details, and
clarity.
Special Black-Paint Sealed Light Engine
BenQ takes extra countermeasures to guard against the small possibility of
stray light leakage from the light tunnel affecting contrast and obscuring fine
details, a special black paint seals the W11000 light engine to boost contrast
and render even the slightest details in the darkest scenes.
Precise Gamma Control
W11000 maintains accurate gamma correction to deliver the perfect brightness
balance for fine details and shading, with smooth greyscale performance to
prevent overexposed bright scenes and preserve every subtlety in dark areas.
Ideal Color Temperature
W11000 strictly adheres to ideal color temperatures to ensure true-to-life,
cinematically accurate colors throughout every scene of any film.
State-of-the-Art Image Uniformity via TIR
BenQs pioneering Total Inner Reflection (TIR) optical system utilizes
multiple prisms forming precise beam angles, dispersing light to reflect more
uniformly from the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and register beautifully
even color, brightness, and fidelity across the entire projected image. The
result is pristine image quality without blemish across the entire big screen,
with nothing to distract the audience from flawless cinema enjoyment.

4K Pixel Enhancer
4K Pixel Enhancer is a motion-adaptive edge enhancement feature that detects
changes in color between an object and its background to produce sharp edges and
precise surface textures.
Color Enhancer
Color Enhancer modulates complex color algorithms to flawlessly render
saturated colors, fine gradients, intermediate hues and subtle pigments.
Flesh Tone
The Flesh Tone feature prevents discoloration of skin tones from the light of
the projection beam, portraying every skin tone in its most beautiful shade.
Digital Color Transient Improvement (DCTI) &Digital Luminance
Transient Improvement (DLTI)
Sophisticated algorithms significantly improve color and light output when
producing images with contrasting colors or bright and dark scales. DCTI
heightens color vibrancy for drastic color transitions without noise
interference. DLTI reduces noise from fast switching of varied luminances to
optimized brightness and contrast. The result is picture quality with the utmost
picture depth and color performance.
