  • Benq 671st hdcp compliant?

    Does anyone know if the 671 is hdcp compliant?
    I'm trying to get a Chromecast to work on a projector and it's not working. I've tried 2 different ones, including a Benq mw817st, and it doesn't work.

    I ask because I may be in the market for a new projector, since I can't get my current setup working. But I have no idea which projectors work with a Chromecast. It seems to be a crap shoot.

    The pics on the Benq website shows it says "hdcp 2.2” on the HDMI ports, so I'm assuming that it should work for me and a Chromecast.
    now I'm on the hunt for a new projector (I'm returning the mw817st)

    But when I look up the 671 for sale, it doesn't say hdcp. It shows MHL, which is not the same. I don't know if there's a new version of the 671 that is on the Benq site or what's going on.


    Edit: disregard this. It seems the 671 is NOT hdcp. The pics on the Benq website are wrong.

      Page 45 of the user manual says it is. This was my first projector and I did not have any issues either.

        Awesome. Thank you!

        This does save me a little $$$ vs having to get the 690.

        Now I gotta check out projector central to see what size the image would be from 8ft away, in 4:3.

          Ok, I am at my wits end with this!
          how are people getting a Chromecast to work with the th671st? I read people are using this one and I just got one delivered (seller said it worked in either HDMI ports) and it doesn't! What is going on?! Help!

          Edit/update: I think I have it figured out. I think the Chromecast power has to come from the USB port on the projector. Using a separate wall wort power disengages something. Weird...but I think it's working.
