TAIPEI, TAIWAN, 27 October, 2006 - BenQ today introduces a new addition to its projector lineup with the BenQ MP510 multi-function digital projector, providing the best option in both value and performance. The MP510 features a brightness of 1500 ANSI lumens, SVGA (800 x 600) resolution, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, an incredibly 22dB whisper quite design and various application functions including 7 sets of picture modes and wall color correction function. The BenQ MP510 features a whisper quiet design that is able to reduce the operation noise to an incredibly quiet 22dB. This is achieved by an advanced cooling system which creates an effective sound baffle that effectively reduces the audible noise to a low 22dB - the level of sound lower than the human whisper, almost equivalent to the sound level of rustling leaves, therefore ensures undisturbed meeting or cinematic environment.
