BenQ MW519 Pro Reviews

Ultimately, the MW519 succeeds as a low-cost, light-weight and portable, 1280x800 data projector. There's nothing particularly outstanding about it, with the possible exception of the low price, but it can certainly handle its basic job well enough to be useable, with more than acceptable data image quality, a longer than typical lamp life, and nearly as good portability as LED projectors with lower brightness and, in some cases, higher prices. The limited 3D support and low volume audio count as minor issues at worst, given that the MW519 shares both with most inexpensive projectors. Potentially more important is the relatively low video quality, with the frequent rainbow artifacts an issue for anyone who considers rainbow artifacts a problem. Compared directly with the MS517, the MW519's issues with video quality make it the less desirable choice if you want a projector for video. As a data projector, however, it has the edge, thanks to its higher resolution. If you need that higher resolution, and are looking for an inexpensive projector for a conference room or classroom, a brighter alternative to a 500-lumen LED projector for portable use, or both, the MW519 is certainly more than a reasonable choice.

The BenQ MW519 is a likable data projector for classroom use, with good data image quality over a digital connection, 3D capabilities, and several eco-friendly features to prolong lamp life.
