Pros and cons
According to our projector expert
- Thanks to the high light output of 4000 ANSI lumens, you also see a clear projection a lit room.
- The projector consumes less energy in the SmartEco mode, which is useful if it's on often.
- If the projector is tilted, the keystone correction automatically straightens the image.
- Due to the SVGA resolution, details aren't always clearly visible.
Description
With the BenQ MS560, you can project clear videos and presentations in bright rooms. The projector has a high maximum light output of 4000 ANSI lumens. This makes it suitable for use in bright rooms, such as a meeting room without curtains. In SmartEco mode, the projector determines how much light it projects. It looks at the amount of ambient light for this, for example. If possible, it reduces the light intensity. This way, the projector consumes less energy. That's useful if it's turned on often. After 20 minutes of inactivity, the projector switches off automatically. If the projector is tilted, it can correct it up to 30 degrees. Your image still looks sharp and straight that way.
The BenQ MS560 has a throw ratio of 1.96:1, which means you can place the projector at a distance of 1.96m from the screen for a 1m wide projection. For a 2m wide projection, double the distance to 3.92m. So, check where you want to place the projector and whether there's space there first.

- Mediocre image quality
A projector that is very suitable for illuminated spaces. Even in daylight, still quite readable projections. In addition, you have many different connection options and, thanks to the built-in USB output, you can easily connect a Chromecast for any "smart" functionality. Unfortunately, the image quality is quite poor. With XGA you get below HD quality (in my experience comparable to 480p) and the individual pixels are clearly visible on the wall (projection distance: 3m). Due to the 4:3 image ratio, you also sacrifice a lot of pixels if you still want to project 16:9. The low resolution is especially noticeable when projecting small text, for example subtitles. A neat projector for this price. All in all, recommended for business use (Powerpoint, etc.), or as a replacement for your television. For the real home theater experience, I recommend looking at a more expensive segment.
