    							Operation 31
    Setting the User 1/User 2 mode
    There are two user-definable modes if the current available picture modes are not suitable 
    for your need. You can use one of the picture modes (except the User 1/User 2) as a starting 
    point and customize the settings.
    1. Press Menu/Exit to open the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
    2. Go to the PICTURE > Picture Mode menu.
    3. Press  /  to select User 1 to User 2.
    4. Press  to highlight Reference Mode.
    This function is only available when User 1 or User 2 mode is selected up in the Picture Mode 
    sub-menu item.
    5. Press  /  to select a picture mode that is closest to your need.
    6. Press  to select a sub-menu item to be changed and adjust the value with  / . 
    See Fine-tuning the image quality in user modes below for details.
    7. When all settings have been done, highlight Save Settings and press Mode/Enter to 
    store the settings.
    8. The confirmation message Setting Saved displays.
    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.
    Fine-tuning the image quality in user modes
    According to the detected signal type, there are some user-definable functions available 
    when User 1 or User 2 mode is selected. You can make adjustments to these functions based 
    on your needs.
    Adjusting Brightness
    Highlight Brightness in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower 
    the setting, darker the image. Adjust this control so the 
    black areas of the image appear just as black and that 
    detail in the dark areas is visible.
    Adjusting Contrast
    Highlight Contrast in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this 
    to set the peak white level after you have previously 
    adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected 
    input and viewing environment.

    							Operation 32
    Adjusting Color
    Highlight Color in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    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
    Highlight Tint in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more 
    greenish the picture becomes.
    Adjusting Sharpness
    Highlight Sharpness in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  /   on the 
    projector or remote control.
    The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the 
    picture becomes.
    Adjusting Brilliant Color
    Highlight Brilliant Color in the PICTURE menu and select by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    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.
    On is the default and recommended selection for this projector. When Off is selected, the 
    Color Temperature function is not available.
    Selecting a Color Temperature
    Highlight Color Temperature in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  /
     on the projector or remote control.
    The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type 
    selected.
    1.T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish 
    white than other settings.
    2.T2: Makes images appear bluish white.
    3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
    4.T4: 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.
    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. 
    Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals 
    						
    							Operation 33 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 
    p ro j e c to r,  h ow e ve r,  yo u r  p ro j e c to r  s u p p l i e r  s hould 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:
    1. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
    2. Press Mode/Enter and the 3D Color Management page displays.
    3. Highlight Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from among Red, Yellow, 
    Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.
    4. 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.
    5. Press  to highlight Saturation and adjust 
    its values to your preference by pressing  /
    . Every adjustment made will reflect to the 
    image immediately.
    For example, if you select Red and set its 
    value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.
    6. Press   to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by pressing  / . 
    The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment 
    made will reflect to the image immediately. 
    7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.
    8. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments.
    9. Press Menu/Exit to exit and save the settings.
    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.

    							Operation 37
    Operating in a high altitude environment
    We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 m 
    –3000 m above sea level, and temperature is between 0°C–35°C.
    Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and temperature 
    is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under 
    such a condition.
