Description

The MX560 is the XGA model in BenQ's business range and remains the right specification for rooms with a 4:3 screen already on the wall — a common situation in schools and older meeting rooms where replacing the screen is not on the table. It puts 4,000 ANSI lumens onto native 1024 x 768.

Its throw ratio of 1.96-2.15:1 is longer than the rest of the M-series, which suits a rear ceiling mount in a deep classroom, and a 110% offset with automatic vertical keystone of ±40 degrees covers most mounting positions without manual correction.

A 10W speaker is a meaningful step up from the 2W drivers in the MH550 and MW550, and is often enough to avoid adding room audio. Inputs cover twin HDMI 1.4a, D-sub in and out, composite, S-Video, USB Type A and RS232. SmartEco lamp management extends light source life to 10,000 hours, and LampSave to 15,000. The body is 296 x 120 x 221mm and 2.3kg.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.

Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
