The BenQ EW800ST is a DLP, WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, short throw projector with smart capabilities. It is primarily positioned as a classroom projector, but is suitable for conference rooms and meeting rooms where its feature set would be useful. BenQ calls this an interactive projector, but it is not interactive in the same sense of other interactive projectors we’ve reviewed. Those types of projectors allow for annotation of presentations and lesson material with interactive pens or finger-touch technology. This does not have that, but it does have several smart capabilities that streamline efficiency. Such features include personal cloud storage, remote control via smart devices, downloadable apps, support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and HID-compliant mice.

I found the color accuracy of its best mode, sRGB, to be the best for video content such as Journey to Space and the Netflix show Explained.
