Perfecting the 4 elements of ultimate display performance.

Contrast Enhancement
Cinema Class Contrast Ratio (10000:1)
BenQ's proprietary SenseyeTM Contrast Enhancement technology delivers deeper, richer and clearer high-definition visuals by implementing Advanced Continuous Electronic Iris and DarkChip3 DMD.

Advanced Continuous Electronic IRIS
Advanced Continuous Electronic Iris utilizes a variable lens aperture that increases contrast performance to a cinema-class, ultra-high 10000:1 ratio and optimizes light intensity for bright and dark scenes.

DarkChip3
Texas Instrument DarkChip3 is the latest generation DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) technology. TI's advanced chipset decreases the scattering of light, significantly boosting image contrast for superior dark scenes.

Say Goodbye to Inferior, Flat Video Images
As with human vision, Senseye automatically analyzes image signals and adjusts the quality of bright and dark portions separately. That means dark images appear darker, and bright images appear brighter without sacrificing color saturation.

Senseye Contrast Enhancement
Dark portions look darker and bright portions look brighter producing a smoother, more film-like picture quality.

 

Motion Optimization Live Action Delivered Flawlessly
Senseye Motion Optimization raises the picture quality of the PE8720 projector to new heights. One of the key factors in flawless live action is the processing of the video from its native interlace form to high quality progressive scan data.

The PE8720's Angle-Motion Compensation completely surpasses previous models. It removes stair-stepping on moving diagonal lines. The result is no jagged edges, natural-looking and flowing moving images.

To optimize motion quality even further, Senseye incorporates Intelligent Progressive Scan, a huge leap in video picture quality that makes it possible to recreate images with cinema-like quality. Senseye intelligently detects which areas have motion and which areas do not, and then processes them differently to create smoother motion. Static areas are meshed and areas where motion is detected are treated with a proprietary filtering technique resulting in very high quality, progressive scan images.

Clarity Optimization
Crystal Clear Across the Entire Screen
Senseye Clarity Optimization reduces picture noise so images remain crystal clear across the entire screen. Image "noise" can be detected and separated into different levels. Clarity Optimization then distinguishes these different levels and then applies the correct Adaptive Noise Reduction solution so noise reduction can be achieved without over-sharpening or clarity loss. All in all, this process significantly reduces noise reduction resulting in super crisp video images.

Human eyes are more sensitive to green than any other color, which is why green dot noise can be commonly seen in darker movie scenes. The PE8720's 8-segment Color Wheel with an advanced NDG filter minimizes green dot noise, improving picture detail for uncompromised image viewing.

The resolution of BenQ's exclusive high resolution lens is higher than the industry standard, making each pixel appear clearer and more life-like for an overall display integrity.

Color Enhancement Vivid True-Color Reproduction Equipped with Senseye Color Enhancement, the PE8720 enables the subtlest of hues such as natural pastels and skin tones to be accurately reproduced delivering brilliant, true-to-life color. 3D Color Management not only corrects hue and saturation levels but also color intensity for realistic picture quality. Specialized Color Wheel Coating delivers better color saturation on Red and Blue than standard RGB (sRGB) without sacrificing green. 10-bit image processing for eye-catching imagery. Real 10-bit color processing presents over 1.07 million colors. This means color layers are adjusted to provide enhanced image quality and the latest in adaptive de-interlacing for stunning video performance. Golden Ratio Color Wheel and its specialized coating delivers high-grade color reproduction and more natural flesh tones.

HDMI

• HDMI is the only interface that can carry both uncompressed high-definition video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD format up to 1080p. This translates into the highest quality video and audio-seen and heard-direct from the source.
• Most digital devices still rely on analog interfaces, which are the weak link in the chain affecting the ultimate image quality of the content. Maintaining the integrity of the digital signal from device-to-device is key to providing the highest quality home theater experience.
• Better compatibility with future advanced video devices since HDMI is becoming increasingly popular.

Customizable 6 Color Settings
Whatever your eyes desire! Specifically developed for improving individual viewing experience, the PE8720 offers users direct, independent six-color adjustment of primary (RGB) and secondary (CMY) colors. When changing each color preference other colors are not affected. Making your reds redder, blues bluer - it's your call!

Whisper-Quiet 23dB
At BenQ, we believe a low noise environment is very important for that real home cinematic experience! That's why the PE8720 operates at a whisper-quiet 23dB for your uninterrupted viewing and listening pleasure.

1. Side-exhaust Fans
BenQ patented side-exhaust fans lower the internal ambient temperature allowing for efficient cooling, thus reducing fan RPM (revolutions per minute).
2. L-shaped inlet tunnels
To further reduce projector acoustics, BenQ has adopted two L-shaped inlet tunnels equipped with a sound dampening muffler and anti-vibration material in the Color Wheel holder.
