 Welcome to my unboxing of the Warzone LX60 XT projector from BenQ. This is not right, this is the WXGA model. The one that's actually inside here is the XGA model. This is just a sample unit. So you guys don't worry too much about what this looks like because yours will come in a nice shiny new retail package. So inside we find a couple of things. Honestly I can't even begin to speculate what the actual accessories included with the retail one would be, but I would say probably it comes with a power cord and probably it comes with some kind of video cable. It will also come with a remote that includes a laser pointer. So you can see it's covered with warnings about lasers and like stuff. Ah, doom! Aha, laser. Oh, the batteries are not installed. Too bad. Okay, so that includes a bunch of functionality, but you're actually not limited to using this remote. You can even use with the dongle that you can buy separately, just I think it's like 60 bucks or something like that. You can use your iPhone to control everything about it and you can even stream images, slideshows, or PowerPoint presentations and you can just like flip between the slides like this and stream them directly to the wireless dongle, which is kind of cool. It actually works with a bunch of NQ projectors. If you check out their app on the iTunes store, app store, whatever it's called, whatever it is, it's not called Google Play because it's only for Apple, but if you check out the app it actually has a list of which projectors are compatible with the dongle and the app. Now this is a very cool projector. Will you buy one? The answer is probably not. Will this technology trickle down and will you eventually be able to buy something like it? The answer is quite possibly because this is more of a corporate skew, more for presentation halls, schools, stuff like that, and less about the actual individual end user here. So this is a solid state laser projector which has a whole whack-load of different advantages. I'm standing in front of my notes. Including the fact that the, I mean I can't even call it bulb replacement estimated time. So BenQ estimates that you will get 10,000 hours of use out of this before you will actually have to replace the DLP wheel. Now it also has an eight segment wheel. Besides the laser backlighting, it has an eight segment wheel which compared to most projectors in this kind of a product class right now are using a six segment wheel which gives you better color reproduction as well as absolutely wicked 80,000 to 1 contrast ratio. And we're not talking like funky dynamic contrast ratios, we're talking actual contrast ratio. We had this fired up before I put it back in the box and I gotta say guys for a DLP projector it absolutely blew me away in terms of the vividness of the colors. Like even looking at the Windows desktop, the Windows logo in the middle, the green and the yellow are distinctly different and they really pop even on this like crappy off-white wall. So that was very cool about it. No moving parts other than the fan. Why do you have no moving parts written down there? Okay well forget that. It's a short throw projector which means that from here to the wall we were able to project an image that was about from here to about here and here to here. So big old huge image. The practical limits of this in a dark environment are about 300 inches but I'd say probably closer to a hundred to a hundred and fifty inches if you're in a more brightly lit kind of environment. What else are we missing here? I want to make sure we don't miss anything right? It's available on XGA or WXGA and aha it's green so no mercury. Since there is no traditional projector lamp there's no mercury inside the projector lamp so that means that if it's you know thrown away or disposed of in any particular way you don't have to worry about the environmental impact of that beyond just the fact that it's you know plastic and you shouldn't throw away electronics more than you absolutely have to. Finally three-year parts and labor warranty and near instant on and off so it takes about three seconds to turn off and about six seconds to turn back on immediately which is very cool compared to some of the uber slow traditionally backlit projectors that we've seen in the past. Oh look at that engineering sample. Sweet! Also has a 20 watt speaker built in and let's go ahead and take a bit of a product tour here so here's the focus wheel it's got big ol grippy neural shenanigans going on here. Alright it's got like kind of a nice blue thing going on you can actually mount this any way you want it can even mount in portrait mode and it is compatible with that so you can you know I mean I can't imagine you know what leave a comment guys leave a comment if you can think of a reason to mount a projector in portrait mode and have it be like like a portrait image like right side up like I cannot cannot imagine why you'd want that. You can actually see the internals a little bit here you can see some electronics and whatnots and hoo-has and here you can see some heat sinks and fans and cooling stuff going on it doesn't get super loud but I mean it's not silent or anything either. In terms of inputs we've got a pretty wide variety we've got audio in one and two audio out as well as a microphone jack we've got our traditional old analog stuff so you got your composite you got your s-video you got your audio right and left you've got up to two VGAs in a monitor out HDMI in two USB ports so that's where you'll plug in that wireless dongle which actually looks a little something like this you can also read certain things directly off of it if you check out my GP2 video I show you some of the cool things you can do with BenQ's built-in software also have a serial port mini USB B LAN and finally a 12 volt trigger finally again the power and finally once more the Kensington lock. I think that pretty much covers it so stay tuned guys because I'm going to be doing a proper NCIX Tech Tips on this particular model so this is just going to be an unboxing don't forget subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and also don't forget to subscribe to my other channel NCIXcom
