Nevertheless the effect is one of significant dynamic range. People can and will debate whether contrast ratings achieved by the use of a variable aperture are "apples and oranges" compared to contrast ratings on projectors not using this technology.

But the only practical issue is whether the picture actually looks higher contrast on the screen. The BenQ is certainly brighter, roughly by a factor of two, but the HS51 delivers a very satisfying high contrast picture that is simply remarkable for LCD technology. Manual zoom and focus. The manual zoom lens has a range of 1. The throw distance range is typical of many projectors in this class, with a " diagonal image being achieved from a minimum throw distance of 9.

If you are viewing the screen from a distance of 1. Thus the zoom range allows the latitude to place the unit either on a coffee table immediate in front of the seating area, on a table between the seats, on a shelf or mount immediately behind the seats, or ceiling mounted above the seats. If you wish to place seating further than 1.

By the way, for those thinking about bookcase or shelf mounting, note that the HS51's 14" length plus at least four inches for cable connection and rear clearance means that the front of the projector will extend about 18" from the back wall.

This may be an aesthetic concern for those who have typical shelving that is 10" or 12" deep. Nevertheless, mounting on a rear shelf or stand behind the seating area is easier than ceiling mounting, and it can provide the best optical performance by allowing you to avoid aggressive use of the lens shift. Horizontal and vertical lens shift. The HS51 provides horizontal and vertical lens shift, which lets you adjust the position of the projected image on the wall relative to the projector.

In neutral position the centerline of the lens strikes the center of the projected image. However, if you use the vertical lens shift, the range of horizontal shift is reduced, and vice versa. Five video inputs. There is also one VGA pin D-sub for computer connection. Lamp life and fan noise. In normal operation, estimated lamp life is hours.

In eco-mode or cinema mode, fan noise is reduced and lamp life is increased to hours. Overall, fan noise is low in Cinema mode, but not as low as the 24 dB rating would lead one to believe. Screendoor effect and pixelation.
