[133th evaluation] audio-visual double enjoyment - BenQ i300T micro-projection experience

Foreword:

Beyond life, BenQ BenQ has always been a leading brand in the home projection and commercial projection markets as an IT company with more than 20 years of history. In the past two years, with the continuous push of new intelligent hardware, the smart micro-investment market is also hot. As BenQ has recently launched a new smart micro-projection, the i300T has participated in the competition and has been pursuing a large-screen audio-visual experience. The users have one more choice.


Unpacking:

BenQ i300T has a double-layer design with a very simple printing. With the exception of BenQ LOGO, there are not many product introductions and parameters, and only simple product information is attached to the side of the outer package.


Open the inner packaging, BenQ i300T projection host is located in the middle, there is a thick protective film wrapped, do not have to worry about some friction during transportation. Symmetrically placed on both sides of the power supply, remote control and other accessories. As a tall projection device, there is nothing new in the packaging.


All product list: BenQ i300T projector, quick use guide, remote control, product three packs of cards, data lines, power cords and power regulators.


Here we can see that the power regulator is provided by China Great Wall Computer Shenzhen Co., Ltd., and as a product of a listed company, the quality should be able to rest assured that after all, the quality of a regulator is directly related to the use of the projection host. life.


BenQ i300T is equipped with a 13-key simplified remote control, built-in 400mAh rechargeable lithium battery, using the MICRO USB charging interface, it comes with a MICRO USB data cable, you can use the usual mobile phone charging head or computer USB port to charge it, a charge can Use half a year. The remote control supports one-click cleaning of the memory, which is not a little bit easier than needing to open related software to clean up. However, the lack of volume control keys also brings great inconvenience. Each time you need to select the MENU menu key, the currently playing video will be paused and then adjusted by the volume setting in the side menu.


Exterior:

BenQ i300T looks very simple, the overall into a rectangle, but the rear 13 ° slightly raised the sound hole and makes the outside look is so unique, the entire local gold voice network surface is particularly prominent relative to the white body, the network surface once Molding, each mesh achieves 0.8mm accuracy. Built-in high-power dual 8W speakers, imported high-fidelity chips, plus a large cavity design to ensure the viewing of the sound quality, the bass performance should be even better.


There is only one switch button on the front of the fuselage, both sides are LED and TEMP temperature indicator.


Lens is the key to a good projection. BenQ i300T uses DLP digital optical processing technology. The author is not a professional person. The following data are collected through web search: DLP is a digital micromirror device DMD chip used by Texas Instruments Inc. An imaging device, a projection technique for realizing a projected image by adjusting reflected light, is very different from a liquid crystal projector in that imaging is performed by reflecting light from thousands of tiny lenses. The resolution of the BenQ i300T is 128,800, which represents 1024,000 micro-mirror units. Each micro-mirror represents a pixel. The image is composed of these pixels. The specific imaging results will be detailed later.


Next to the lens is not the speaker hole, but the cooling hole, through the hole you can see the inside of the heat sink, BenQ i300T uses a self-developed TTCP rapid temperature control technology, optimize the heat flow control, control the micro-projector core temperature, to ensure micro Casting does not run away.


BenQ i300T's interfaces are on the side, and uses a hidden design, including a USB3.0 and USB2.0 interface each one, an HDMI high-definition interface, AUDIO audio output interface, MIC microphone input interface, Ethernet socket, in addition There is a SPDIF Out digital audio output interface that supports 5.1 channels. The rich interface meets various needs. The power connector, air inlet and focusing ring are located on the other side of the fuselage.


There is a cooling hole at the bottom of the cloth. When placed on the desktop, it is designed with 3 raised non-slip feet, which provides space for heat dissipation and guarantees heat dissipation. The round pad at the front end can adjust the height and it can lift about 2.8cm.

System UI:

The first boot provides five setup steps to facilitate the user to quickly use: 1, the projector position; 2, language selection; 3, trapezoidal correction; 4, fast automatic search; 5, network settings.


Into the system, the first to see the recommendation page, for such a UI system interface, used TV boxes are no strangers, the so-called smart projection, in fact, is added to the traditional projection of the Android system, with Android audio and video, games, Education and other rich resources to provide users with a big screen to enjoy.


For the recommended content is generally rarely used, and the BenQ i300T customized version of Cool I K song is very useful for users who like to sing, collected around 600W songs, and will be updated every day. In addition, the game has the Feizhi game hall installed by default. The hall has been adapted to thousands of games and supports remote controls, joysticks, and many other peripherals.


There is a free VIP card to receive in the recommendation page. There are very detailed collection steps. First, you need to pay attention to the micro-signal to receive the card number, and then enter the recharge of the Octagon Movie App. After the recharge is successful, you can watch the paid movie in the VIP exclusive area. Although the movie inside is a little old, it can already be found on the Internet or other platforms for free, but at least this year saves you the trouble of searching.

In the category column, the resources have been categorized and classified. BenQ i300T integrates a number of video websites with its own video library. The video resources are still very rich and can meet the daily viewing needs.


All application comes with more than a dozen applications, you can add the commonly used to the application home page, unfortunately the application does not use unsupported uninstall, but fortunately the application home page can not see, or for people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder is a torture .


Of course, as an Android system, you can also install the application you need. One method is to download the application directly through your own application. The other is downloaded to the U disk through the computer and then installed to the BenQ i300T. You may use the U disk to install it. More download third-party application market, more choices for more applications.


Although radio and television have been suppressing the live broadcast function on TV boxes, many applications still support live broadcasting, and many of them are of high-definition quality, so that projection also realizes the functions of the TV.


The setup interface is very simple. There are no other skins in the skin for replacement. The content in the more settings is also much less than expected. Settings such as brightness, contrast, and sound mode can only be accessed through the MENU menu on the remote control. This kind of design is somewhat unreasonable. In case the remote control is broken someday, it is temporarily controlled by a third-party intelligent remote controller. Since it cannot be fully adapted, there is no way to call up the setup menu.


Imaging:

Select the projection, imaging is the core, the BenQ i300T is positioned for home projection, so the continuation of the comfort brightness, high-contrast home projection program, coupled with BenQ's 20 years of focus on the projection, in the color adjustment is in place, the actual imaging results compared The original picture is more vivid and realistic.


For the 400 lumens, the current projection market is not high, but at night in the immediate lighting situation, as long as the direct light is avoided, there is still a very good viewing effect.


Heat dissipation:

Thanks to the self-developed TTCP rapid temperature control technology, optimized heat flow treatment, the temperature of the whole machine has been kept below 30°, only the heat dissipation outlet temperature is close to 40°.


noise:

The official failed to give noise parameters, the author to be measured, close to the heat outlet to achieve 50dB, indoor ambient noise is about 40dB, 40dB is equivalent to a very quiet conversation.

PS: According to ordinary people's hearing:

0 -2 0 dB is very quiet and almost unnoticeable

2 0 -4 0 dB quiet, like soft language

4 0 -6 0 decibel, normal indoor conversation

6 0 -7 0 Decibel noisy, denervated nerves


After sale:


For the value of two or three thousand projection, can be considered on the digital category, and many people will focus on the brand, concerned about how after-sales service, I happened to receive the product when the remote control out of the question, after the search from the BenQ official website After-sales service contact and contact, a total of three contact methods: microblogging, micro-channel, phone, three can get a smooth connection, and reply to the solution, but the micro-channel response time is longer, or through the 400 call reminder There was also a message on the WeChat side to immediately reply, and the network was looking to send more people. But anyway, there are a variety of contact options, but also can successfully solve the problem, or worthy of praise.


to sum up:

i300T, as BenQ's first entry-level micro-smart projection, but with its 20 years of experience in projection, the picture quality and sound quality are very satisfactory, plus a wealth of audio and video resources, the author after receiving the i300T In the past few days, the home TV has not been opened. The only inconvenience in use is that there is no volume control button on the remote control. With the continuous increase in the brightness of home micro-projection, I believe more people will choose to replace the TV projection.
