Frequently Asked Questions - SU754 BENQ

How do I replace the lamp of the BenQ SU754?
Turn off the projector and disconnect power. Allow 45 minutes cooling. Remove the lamp cover, disconnect the lamp connector, loosen screws, and pull out the old lamp. Insert the new lamp, tighten screws, reconnect, and replace the cover. Then reset the lamp timer in the System Setup: Advanced > Lamp Settings menu.
Can I connect my smartphone to the projector wirelessly?
Yes, using an optional BenQ wireless dongle such as QCast (QP01) or InstaShow (WDC10). Connect the dongle to the HDMI port and follow the on-screen instructions to mirror your smart device.
How do I adjust the keystone correction?
Press the Keystone/Arrow keys on the projector or remote to display the 2D Keystone page. Use ▲/▼ for vertical and ◀/▶ for horizontal correction. You can also access 2D Keystone or Corner Fit from the Display menu.
What is the SmartEco mode and how does it save power?
SmartEco technology dynamically adjusts lamp power based on content brightness, saving up to 70% lamp power. It also extends lamp life. Enable it via the Lamp Settings menu or the SMART ECO button on the remote.
How can I use the projector in a high altitude environment?

Connect an RJ45 cable to the LAN port. Go to System Setup: Advanced > Network Settings and configure DHCP or manual IP. Use a web browser to access the projector's IP address for remote control via Crestron eControl.
What should I do if the image is blurry?
Adjust the Focus ring on the lens. Also ensure the projector is perpendicular to the screen and the correct resolution is set. Use the AUTO button for automatic optimization on PC signals.
How can I enable 3D on the projector?
Connect a 3D-compatible source. Press MENU, go to Display > 3D and set 3D Mode to Auto or the appropriate format. Wear BenQ 3D glasses. You may also need to adjust 3D Sync Invert if depth appears inverted.

Ceiling mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector.

BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

There is 5% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connection

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

I. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press

FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting video source devices

You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the video source device as described below:

Terminal nameTerminal appearancePicture quality

Connecting audio

The projector has one built-in mono speaker which are designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.

The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.

BENQ SU754 - Connecting audio - 1

- The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 23 for details.

- If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.

Device PC Component/S Video/VideoHDMI-1/HDMI-2/MHL
Audio input port AUDIO IN (mini jack)AUDIO (L/R) HDMI
The projector can play the sound from...AUDIO IN (mini jack)AUDIO (L/R) HDMI
Audio output port AUDIO OUT AUDIO OUTAUDIO OUT
The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select the PC signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN mini jack. If you select the S-VIDEO/VIDEO signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO (L/R).

Connecting smart devices

The projector can also project the content directly from your personal device(phone, tablet, NB) through optional BenQ wireless solution such as QCast dongle or InstaShow™.

Please consult to your local agent if you're interested in it.

Optimizing the image

Using Wall Color

In the situation where you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which may not be white, the Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture's color to prevent possible color difference between the source and projected pictures.

To use this function, go to the Display > Wall Color menu and press ◀/▶ to select a color which is the closest to the color of the projection surface. There are several precalibrated colors to choose from: Light Yellow, Pink, Light Green, Blue, and Blackboard.

Selecting a picture mode

The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal picture type.

To select an operation mode that suits your need, you can follow one of the following steps.

  • Press MODE/ENTER on the projector repeatedly until your desired mode is selected.
  • Go to the Picture > Picture Mode menu and press ◀/▶ to select a desired mode.

I. Bright mode: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the projector in well lit rooms.

  1. Presentation mode: Is designed for presentation. The brightness is emphasized in this mode to match PC and notebook coloring..

  2. sRGB mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing PC graphic and drawing applications such as AutoCAD.

  3. Vivid mode: This is suitable for displaying colorful video and pictures with well-balanced color saturation and high color brightness.

  4. 3D mode: Is appropriate for playing 3D images and 3D video clips.

  5. Infographic: Is perfect for presentations with the mixture of text and graphics due to its high color brightness and better color gradation to see the details clearly.

  6. User mode: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available picture modes. See "Setting the User mode" on page 37 for details.

Adjusting Color

Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.

Adjusting Tint

The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more greenish the picture becomes.

Adjusting Sharpness

The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the picture becomes.

Adjusting Brilliant Color

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality, select On. If you don't need it, select Off.

When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

Selecting a Color Temperature

The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type selected.

I. Cooler: makes the image appear bluish white.
2. Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.
3. Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.

\*About color temperatures:

There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the "color temperature". A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

Setting a preferred color temperature

To set a preferred color temperature:

I. Highlight Color Temperature and select Warm, Normal or Cool by pressing ◀/▶ on the projector or remote control.
2. Press ▼ to highlight Color Temperature Fine Tuning and press MODE/ENTER. The Color Temperature Fine Tuning page appears.

3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

I. Go to the Picture menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

  1. Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.
  2. Highlight Primary color and press ◀/▶ to select a color from among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.
  3. Press ▼ to highlight Hue and press ◀/▶ to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.

Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each other.

For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red in the projected picture will be selected. Increasing its range will include red close to yellow and red close to magenta.

Lamp information

Getting to know the lamp hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:

Lamp Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in Economic mode) + (hours used in SmartEco mode)

Equivalent lamp hour = 1.8*(hours used in Normal mode) + 1.3*(hours used in Economic mode) + 1.00*(hours used in SmartEco mode)

BENQ SU754 - Getting to know the lamp hour - 1

See "Setting Lamp mode as Economic or SmartEco" below for more information on Economic mode.
