BenQ TH671ST 16:10 Aspect Ratio

[kevin1889]

I just bought the BenQ TH671ST and will be setting up this weekend. Using the calculator on Projector Central, I can easily fit into a 16:9 aspect ratio but I have some extra height. Does anyone know if you can force this to a 16:10 ratio? It doesn't indicate in the manual that the 16:10 is an available option. Wondering what any current owners are using?

I know for sure you can do it in nvidia.
Just remember that it will shrink the sides of your 16:9 picture to make it 16:10 so make sure you have zoom capacity left or mount the pj closer so your picture fiöös your screen.

You can do it on your computer settings, let me know what you think of that projector. What size image you going for?

I have had this projector for a few months and like it. I had a 16:10 1920 * 1200 projector prior and also attempted getting the 671st to fill my screen by forcing 16:10 or 1920 * 1200 in Nvida Settings.

Projector does not support this resolution natively but as others have said you can go into Nvida settings (if you have nvidia - assume AMD has same) and setup a custom resolution 1920*1200. Once you have the desktop in this this res you can set sim software to this same resolution.

Although this can be done, I ended up back at the native projector res of 1920*1080 because I was losing some picture clarity. Wasn’t bad, but I am trying to get the best image I can and for me wasn’t worth giving up sharpness to fill a bit more screen up top. I bought a black industrial curtain valence from ebay to black out the top of screen.

I got this projector because I just needed more brightness than my older 16:10 projector. I have 2 high speed usb video cameras in the room so I need a good amount of light over my hitting area. I think having a short throw projector in-front of this area is better. My screen is much brighter now and I still get to keep enough light over the stance mat for my cameras to work well.

Js1010..... any link to the USB cameras ? I'm in the market for one to use in FSX.

StanMI —will send u a PM with what I am using. Don’t want to take over this thread.

I have this projector coming. It is Suppose to be here tomorrow January 25th. I hope it's a game changer. Ive been hitting into a net for 3 years. Im setting it up for 9ft from the screen that is 156 inches x 88 inches. 16:9
Can't wait

I contacted BenQ directly about the 16:10 aspect ratio capabilities of the BenQ TH671ST. Here is what I was told directly from their RD department. Using the on-screen display you can select "Auto". If (AND ONLY IF) the source aspect ratio is native 16:10, then and only then will the TH671ST project the image in 16:10. If the native aspect ratio from the source is 16:9 or 4:3 you can not force the TH671ST to output a 16:10 aspect ratio. Hope this helps clear up any confusion.

What you do in nvidia is you change the source aspect ratio to 16:10. This works for all 16:9 projectors.
But it does not make your projector 16:10. It makes the picture smaller by scaling 16:9 to 16:10.
