[Media Invite] BenQ - Brilliance in Quality & Design of Visual Innovation

I am really glad i got to attend the media event by BenQ last Friday morning. Very insightful, and am very impressed by their technologies as the team unveils BenQ's latest display innovations for the Asia Pacific market.

BenQ, a world-leading human technology and solutions-provider today reinforced its commitment to the Asia Pacific region by unveiling its latest range of projectors, digital signage and interactive flat panels, under the event themed:  “Brilliance in Quality and Design of Visual Innovation”.

According to projector market research firm Futuresource Consulting , BenQ has retained its position as the World’s No.1 DLP (Digital Light Processing) projector vendor for a sixth consecutive year, serving as a testament to the company’s commitment towards incorporating the best innovations into its solutions. DLP technology has now almost completely replaced film as the industry standard for movies. The technology has been known to revolutionize the way we watch movies so much that DLP technology inventor Dr. Larry Hornbeck was given an Oscar® at 2015 Academy Awards for his work. Today, more than eight out of 10 digital movie theater screens worldwide are powered by DLP technology.

To empower its users to live better, increase efficiency, feel healthier and enhance learning, BenQ has launched the following range of solutions to meet a range of user demands in the education, enterprise, retail and home entertainment sectors:
