The CP120 provides a solid feature set that includes XGA native resolution, an ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors.

In addition, the CP120 features BenQ's proprietary Golden Ratio Color Wheel that provides high-grade color reproduction.

The CP120 also features a new technology for projectors: sRGB (Standard Red Green Blue See RGB. ). Defined by Microsoft and HP, sRGB creates color-matching between applications and hardware devices, such as monitors, scanners, printers and digital cameras to ensure that whatever users see on their computer screen will be exactly the same as what they will get from their projector. Unlike other projectors, sRGB ensures that users do not get a greenish color even if they prepared their presentation with a yellow background. They receive true-life colors regardless of whether they are making a presentation or watching a movie.

Although development began in 1956, it took time to convert from the earlier French 819-line system. , EDTV (Enhanced Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards with 480 lines of resolution. All EDTV formats are progressive scan (480p) and provide a sharper picture than SDTV (Standard Definition TV), but not as good as HDTV (High Definition TV). and HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates (1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i, 480p and RGBHV RGBHV Red Green Blue Horizontal sync Vertical sync (color video signal used by computers and high definition video) ). In addition, some of the optical technology behind the CP120 was developed by leading developer Carl Zeiss Optical System Design. Technical Specifications
