As much as smart TVs have evolved in recent years, if what we want is to have a screen of enormous proportions projectors remain the cheapest and most viable option.
That is why manufacturers continue to release increasingly powerful models, as is the case with BenQ with his last bet, the model TH690ST with which he proposes that we set up a small cinema and games room at home.

We are faced with a short throw team with compact shapes and portable character, since we can easily transport it from one place to another in the house, offering a DLP projection system based on 4 LED light sources.
His optics offer us a 1080p native resolutionalthough it is compatible with signals of 4K HDR video that scales directly adapting the image but maintaining the high dynamic range and providing a 100-inch image by placing the equipment only 1.5 meters from the wall or from 150 inches at 2.3 meters.
Offers an image refresh rate of 120 Hz with a response time of 8.33 ms, which allows us to use it without problems for any type of game. Furthermore, thanks to his 2,300 lumen brightness ANSI it is possible to use it in rooms that are not completely dark.
One of the most interesting points of the team is its LED light sourcewhich in addition to providing this remarkable amount of light and a 500,000:1 contrast It has an operating half-life of 30,000 hours in ECO mode, so we won’t have to worry about changing the lamp for many years.
According to the manufacturer it can reach 84% of the DCI-P3 color space, the 98% of Rec.709 and has a sound system basic included with power of 5 watts in stereo. As for connectivity, it offers us two HDMI 2.0b ports for computers and consoles.
