Setup
Setting up the BenQ Th671st projector takes only three minutes. The setup involves choosing a projector position between — low, high, or behind a screen — and a few basic and advanced settings. However, we recommend you select the advanced setting, as the basic mode allows you to switch audio and picture modes and a few LumiExpert options.
It sports a zoom lens for added positioning flexibility and easy setup. The preset mode offers excellent picture quality, but you must set the wall color if you don’t have a white screen. To set up the throw distance, place the projector away from the screen until the image fits your desired screen. You can also adjust the 1.2x zoom and focus with two wheels on top of the Th671st to fit the image on the screen.
The setup range for a 16:9 110-inch image is about 5.5 to 6.7 feet from the screen. On the rear side, you will find two HDMI ports for gaming or connecting to your TV, one USB-A port for power, a USB mini B for firmware upgrades, and 3.5 mm VGA ports.
