Overview
The BenQ MW826STH was designed specifically for use in educational institutions and small conference rooms. Thanks to its short-throw lens, the projector produces large images from a short distance, preventing distracting shadows from the presenter. The combination of high brightness and modern DLP technology ensures clear display of text-heavy content even in rooms with ambient light.
Benefits and special features
- Short-throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.49:1 for large images in small rooms.
- SmartEco technology optimises lamp output and extends lamp life to up to 10,000 hours.
- Interactive-ready: compatible with PointWrite™ PW02 and FingerTouch PT12 for collaborative work.
- Bright 3,500 ANSI lumens allow presentations without fully darkening the room.
- Vertical keystone correction of ± 30 degrees for quick image alignment when set up at an angle.
- Durable DLP technology ensures lasting colour precision without loss of quality over its operating life.
Picture and sound quality
Based on DLP technology, the BenQ MW826STH delivers native WXGA resolution with a high contrast ratio of 20,000:1. With a brightness of 3,500 ANSI lumens and the ability to display 1.07 billion colours, the unit produces sharp text and vivid graphics. The Infographic and Presentation modes are specifically designed to maximise the legibility of the smallest details.
The integrated audio system with a 10 W speaker provides sufficient sound in classrooms or training rooms without the need to install external sound systems.

| Image size (diagonal) | Image width (approx.) | Throw distance |
|---|---|---|
| 80 inches | 171 cm | 84 cm |
| 100 inches | 214 cm | 105 cm |
| 120 inches | 256 cm | 126 cm |
The calculated throw distances are based on the manufacturer's throw ratio and are intended as guide values. As measuring points (e.g. from the lens centre vs. the front of the housing) often vary between data sheets, accuracy to the centimetre cannot always be guaranteed.
Running and follow-up costs
Power consumption in normal operation is 260 watts, while standby mode uses less than 0.5 watts.
| Operating mode | Lifetime | 2 hrs/day | 8 hrs/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard mode | 6,000 hours | 8.0 years | 2.0 years |
| ECO mode | 10,000 hours | 13.5 years | 3.5 years |
Conclusion
The BenQ MW826STH is an economically attractive solution for educational institutions that value short throw distances and interactivity. Its high brightness and wide range of connection options allow flexible use in bright classrooms. SmartEco technology and the long lamp life minimise running costs over the entire life cycle.
