BenQ and ADI have established demo facilities within each ADI branch, providing dealers a hands-on opportunity to use, install and calibrate BenQ¡¥s new line of Home Cinema Series DLPTM Projectors, starting with the ISFccc-certified W10000. ISF technicians will be demonstrating display optimization, color and contrast adjustment for home environments, and how to use the ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard and color science instruments to customize the best possible home theater experience for customers.

¡§ISF is an authority in advanced control of image reproduction,¡¨ said Rauch. ¡§And we are very proud to be a licensee. With high-end extras like premium certification, BenQ products deliver superior performance for the ultimate in digital lifestyle enjoyment.¡¨

As one of a very few projectors on the market that fully support the 1080p/24fps standard for high-definition video, the W10000 is in fact configured by ISF technicians during actual customer installation. Technicians calibrate ideal settings according to the customer¡¦s personal lighting conditions, including two optimized modes ¡V ISF Day and Night modes.
