As sensitive as the human eye
Introducing a projector that uses a technology you can believe in- your eyes.
For the first time, you can enjoy more vivid and colourful video with technology that exploits the true potential of human vision. BenQ's PE8720 projector with SenseyeTechnology takes home projection to a new level with the world's highest contrast ratio (10000:1). It delivers crisp, clear images, and true-to-movie video performance. So when only the best will do, you can employ BenQ to deliver a superior cinematic experience fit for the most discerning of home cinema connoisseurs.
Senseye Projector Engine
 Perfecting the 4 elements of ultimate display performance.
Contrast Enhancement
Cinema Class Contrast Ratio (10000:1)
BenQ's proprietary SenseyeContrast Enhancement technology delivers deeper, richer and clearer high-definition visuals by implementing Advanced Continuous Electronic Iris and DarkChip3 DMD.
Advanced Continuous Electronic IRIS
Advanced Continuous Electronic Iris utilises a variable lens aperture that increases contrast performance to a cinema-class, ultra-high 10000:1 ratio and optimizes light intensity for bright and dark scenes.
DarkChip3
 Texas Instrument DarkChip3 is the latest generation DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) technology. TI's advanced chipset decreases the scattering of light, significantly boosting image contrast for superior dark scenes.
Say Goodbye to Inferior, Flat Video Images
As with human vision, Senseyeautomatically analyses image signals and adjusts the quality of bright and dark portions separately. That means dark images appear darker, and bright images appear brighter without sacrificing colour saturation.
SenseyeContrast Enhancement
Dark portions look darker and bright portions look brighter producing a smoother, more film-like picture quality.
Motion Optimization
Live Action Delivered Flawlessly
 SenseyeMotion Optimization raises the picture quality of the PE8720 projector to new heights. One of the key factors in flawless live action is the processing of the video from its native interlace form to high quality progressive scan data.
The PE8720's Angle-Motion Compensation completely surpasses previous models. It removes stair-stepping on moving diagonal lines. The result is no jagged edges, natural-looking and flowing moving images.
To optimize motion quality even further, Senseyeincorporates Intelligent Progressive Scan, a huge leap in video picture quality that makes it possible to recreate images with cinema-like quality. Senseye intelligently detects which areas have motion and which areas do not, and then processes them differently to create smoother motion. Static areas are meshed and areas where motion is detected are treated with a proprietary filtering technique resulting in very high quality, progressive scan images.
Clarity Optimization
Crystal Clear Across the Entire Screen
 SenseyeClarity Optimization reduces picture noise so images remain crystal clear across the entire screen. Image "noise" can be detected and separated into different levels. Clarity Optimization then distinguishes these different levels and applies the correct Adaptive Noise Reduction solution so noise reduction can be achieved without over-sharpening or clarity loss. All in all, this process significantly reduces noise reduction resulting in super crisp video images.
Human eyes are more sensitive to green than any other colour, which is why green dot noise can be commonly seen in darker movie scenes. The PE8720's 8-segment Colour Wheel with an advanced NDG filter minimises green dot noise, improving picture detail for uncompromised image viewing.
The resolution of BenQ's exclusive high resolution lens is higher than the industry standard, making each pixel appear clearer and more life-like for an overall display integrity.
Colour Enhancement
Vivid True-Colour Reproduction
 Equipped with SenseyeColour Enhancement, the PE8720 enables the subtlest of hues such as natural pastels and skin tones to be accurately reproduced delivering brilliant, true-to-life colour. 3D Colour Management not only corrects hue and saturation levels but also colour intensity for realistic picture quality. Specialized Colour Wheel Coating delivers better colour saturation on Red and Blue than standard RGB (sRGB) without sacrificing green. 10-bit image processing for eye-catching imagery. Real 10-bit colour processing presents over 1.07 million colors. This means colour layers are adjusted to provide enhanced image quality and the latest in adaptive de-interlacing for stunning video performance.
The Colour Wheel and its specialised coating delivers high-grade colour reproduction and more natural flesh tones.

HDMI
- HDMI is the only interface that can carry both uncompressed high-definition video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD format up to 1080p. This translates into the highest quality video and audio-seen and heard-direct from the source.
- Most digital devices still rely on analog interfaces, which are the weak link in the chain affecting the ultimate image quality of the content. Maintaining the integrity of the digital signal from device-to-device is key to providing the highest quality home theater experience.
- Better compatibility with future advanced video devices since HDMI is becoming increasingly popular.
Customisable 6 Colour Settings
Whatever your eyes desire! Specifically developed for improving individual viewing experience, the PE8720 offers users direct, independent six-colour adjustment of primary (RGB) and secondary (CMY) colours. When changing each colour preference other colours are not affected. Making your reds redder, blues bluer - it's your call!
Whisper-Quiet 23dB
At BenQ, we believe a low noise environment is very important for that real home cinematic experience! That's why the PE8720 operates at a whisper-quiet 23dB for your uninterrupted viewing and listening pleasure.
1. Side-exhaust Fans
BenQ patented side-exhaust fans lower the internal ambient temperature allowing for efficient cooling, thus reducing fan RPM (revolutions per minute).
2. L-shaped inlet tunnels
To further reduce projector acoustics, BenQ has adopted two L-shaped inlet tunnels equipped with a sound dampening muffler and anti-vibration material in the Colour Wheel holder. Easy Installation
Another Handy Innovation from BenQ.
Most people don't know what half the functions are on their remote control.However, with the PE8720's remote control you get half the complications, but twice the precision control.
 1. Source hot keys
Selects an input source: COMP1, COMP2, VIDEO, HDMI, RGB HD, S-VIDEO.
2. Aspect buttons
Selects the image aspect ratio: ANA, 4:3, LB, WIDE, REAL.
3. Preset modes buttons
Switch to different preset modes quickly and easily without window after window of OSD menus.
4. Memory buttons
