Frequently Asked Questions - LW650 BENQ

How do I set up the projector for the first time?
Connect the power cord and press POWER on the projector or remote. The projector will start up in about 10 seconds. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your OSD language. If prompted for a password, enter the 6-digit password using the arrow keys (1,2,3,4). After startup, select the input source by pressing SOURCE.
How can I adjust the keystone correction?
Press QUICK INSTALL on the remote and select 2D Keystone, or go to Advanced Menu > Installation > 2D Keystone. Use the arrow keys (▲▼◀▶) to correct the trapezoid shape. You can also enable Auto Vertical Keystone for automatic correction. For individual corner adjustment, use Corner Fit.
How do I connect external devices?
The projector has 2 HDMI ports, 1 USB Type-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode), and 2 USB Type-A ports. For video, use an HDMI cable from your device to the projector. For USB-C, connect directly. For wireless, insert the optional Wireless Dongle (EZC5201BS) into the dedicated USB port. To play audio, use the audio output jack or the built-in speaker.
How do I use the wireless projection feature?
Insert the optional Wireless Dongle (EZC5201BS) into the WIRELESS DONGLE port on the rear. Press SOURCE and select Wireless Display. On your device (iOS/macOS/Android/Windows), connect to the projector's Wi-Fi network (SSID: BenQ_xxxxxxxx, password shown on screen). Use screen mirroring or projection settings to start.
What are the different picture modes and when should I use them?
The projector offers several picture modes: Bright for maximum brightness in well-lit rooms, Presentation for PC/notebook presentations, Spreadsheet for excel/table work, Video Conference for meeting calls, Infographic for mixed text/graphics, 3D for 3D content, HDR10/HLG for HDR content, and User1/User2 for customized settings.
How can I extend the light source life?
Use ECO, SmartEco, or Custom light source modes instead of Normal. These reduce brightness and extend the laser/LED life. Go to Advanced Menu > Picture > Advanced Color Settings > Light Source Mode to select. Also, enable Auto Power Off in System > Operation Settings to automatically turn off the projector when no signal is detected.
What should I do if the projector does not turn on?
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the projector and an active power outlet. If the power indicator is orange, press POWER again. If the projector is cooling down from previous use, wait until the cooling process finishes (about 2 seconds of fan running). If the problem persists, verify that the outlet switch is on and try a different outlet.
How do I clean the lens and case?
Turn off the projector and let it cool completely. For the lens, use a canister of compressed air to remove dust, then gently wipe with lens-cleaning paper or a soft cloth moistened with lens cleaner. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaners. For the case, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water and a neutral pH detergent. Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, or thinner.
How do I set or change the password?
Go to Advanced Menu > System > Security Settings. To set a new password, select Change Password and enter a 6-digit code using the arrow keys (▲=1, ▶=2, ▼=3, ◀=4). Confirm by re-entering. To activate power-on lock, set Power On Lock to On and enter the password. To disable, set to Off and enter the current password. If you forget the password, press and hold OK for 3 seconds to get a recall code, then contact BenQ support.
What are the supported 3D formats?
The projector supports 3D content via HDMI 1.4a. Supported 3D formats include Frame Sequential, Top Bottom, Frame Packing, and Side by Side. To enable 3D, go to Display > 3D and set 3D Mode to Auto (recommended) or manually select the format. Use 3D Sync Invert if the image appears distorted. Note that 3D reduces brightness and limits keystone adjustment.

For example, if you are using a 100-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 2933 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 2000 mm, the closest match in the "Projection distance (mm)" column is 2053 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 70" (about 1.8 m) screen is required.

BENQ LW650 - LH650 - 2

To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by referring to the values listed in the non-gray rows.

BENQ LW650 - LH650 - 3

The values in the gray cells are for reference only.

BENQ LW650 - LH650 - 4

All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ 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.

Mounting the projector

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

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

Before mounting the projector

• Purchase a BenQ projector mounting 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 mounting bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.
- Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it to fall and result in injury.
- Take necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake.
- The warranty doesn't cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit.
- Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling/wall mounted. If a heater is used, the temperature around the ceiling/wall may be higher than expected.
- Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque exceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off.
- Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of "0" removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

- 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 a desired level.

When 0 is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

Maintenance

Care of the projector

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Please be sure to turn off the projector and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens.

  • Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
  • If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
  • Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in Shutting down the projector on page 27 and unplug the power cord.

  • To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then wipe the case.

BENQ LW650 - Cleaning the projector case - 1

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Storing the projector

If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below:

  • Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for the projector. Please refer to Specifications on page 50 or consult your dealer about the range.
  • Retract the adjuster feet.
  • Remove the battery from the remote control.
  • Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

Light source information

Getting to know the light hour

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

  1. Light Usage Time = (x+y+z) hours, if Time used in Normal Mode = x hours

Time used in ECO Mode = y hours

Time used in SmartEco Mode = z hours

Time used in Custom Mode = a hours

  1. Equivalent Light Hour = Hours

$$ \alpha \quad \frac {A ^ {\prime}}{X} \times \chi \quad \frac {A ^ {\prime}}{Y} \quad y \times \frac {A ^ {\prime}}{Z} \quad z \neq \frac {A ^ {\prime}}{A} \quad a \times , i f $$

X= light source life spec of Normal Mode

Y= light source life spec of ECO Mode

Z= light source life spec of SmartEco Mode

A= light source life spec of Custom Mode

A' is the longest light life spec among X, Y, Z, A

BENQ LW650 - Getting to know the light hour - 1

For time used in each light source mode shown in OSD menu:

- Time used is accumulated and rounded down to an integer in hours.

- When time used is less than 1 hour, it shows 0 hours.

BENQ LW650 - Getting to know the light hour - 2

When you calculate Equivalent Light Hours manually, it will probably have deviation from the value shown in OSD menu since projector system calculates time used for each light source mode in "Minutes" then rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.

To obtain the light source hour information:

  1. Go to Advanced menu - Settings > Light Usage Time and press OK.

  2. The Light Usage Time information is displayed.

You can also get the light source hour information on the Information menu.

Extending light source life

- Setting the Light Source Mode

Go to Advanced menu - Picture > Advanced Color Settings > Light Source Mode and select a suitable light source power from among the provided modes.

Setting the projector in ECO, SmartEco or Custom mode extends light source life.

Light mode Description
Normal Mode Provides full light source brightness
ECO ModeLowers brightness to extend the light source life and decreases the fan noise
SmartEco ModeAdjusts the light source power automatically depending on the content brightness level while optimizing display quality
Custom ModeEnables the light source brightness adjustment bar so that you can adjust the setting to your liking

BENQ LW650 - Extending light source life - 1

Some of the above light mode(s) may not be available under certain circumstances.

- Setting Auto Power Off

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of light source life.
