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.
Key features
4:3 native resolution matched to the 4:3 screens still installed in many classrooms and older meeting rooms.

Squares the image up automatically over a wide vertical range, useful on a deep-room rear mount.
Extends light source life to 10,000 hours in SmartEco mode and 15,000 hours in LampSave mode.
