Home theatre projector

I don’t know about you, but the impending arrival of summer has me excited to go outdoors and stay outdoors. And while sunny summer days get a lot of the glory, summer evenings are special too, bringing comfortably warm air, crickets chirping, and clear, star-filled skies. Why then, would you want to go indoors to watch television when you could be outside watching television? With the BenQ MH535A home theatre projector, this dream could be a reality.

New projector, classic entertainment

Next door to my childhood home lives a family with a tradition I particularly like: every summer the children’s birthday parties end with an outdoor movie. Gaggles of giddy, cake-fueled kids all gather together and hush their voices as they watch a film play across a white bed sheet. From across the street you can see the movie playing in the dim twilight, illuminating the little faces gazing at it. It’s a simple scene, but you can sense that precious memories are beginning to crystallize.

I love how it brought the past into today. There was a time when you would have to go to the drive-in or lug a cumbersome machine outside to make this happen. Now, with projectors you can make your yard like a drive-in theatre and create that connection and novelty that’s sometimes missing from the modern movie-watching experience.

With a projector like the BenQ MH535A, the set up is simple and the joy is instant. It has adjustable feet, so it could be placed on a backyard table without worrying about wobble.  It also has different viewing modes, including one for non-white walls, so if all you have is a pink sheet handy, well, that’ll work just fine.  And with 3600 lumens that improve colour vibrancy, your movie will look just as good under the stars as it does in your basement.

A BenQ MH535A projector brings modern magic to movie night 

Imagine the romantic date night you could have or how much fun it would be to watch sports with friends from the comfort of your backyard. It has a 1080p resolution, 15,000:1 high native contrast, plus input options like a dual HDMI and VGA so you can connect most media players, PCs, and Macs. But don’t just take my word for it, have a read of Jacob McCourt’s review:

  5. All of the Jurassic Parks, with the surround sound turned up! My son and I would have a blast.

  15. I think I’d have a princess bride party for my daughter and all her friends! Who wouldn’t want to see Andre the Giant battle it out with Wesley on that big screen!

  17. I remember watching Pretty Woman at the Drive-In movie theatre so I’d choose that to watch, like old times.

  19. This would be great to watch a classic Disney movie like “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” with the wife and kids.

  21. It would have to be Gladiator for me. It is the definition of an Epic for me. Being able to watch it in a home theatre set up or in the backyard would be amazing.

  23. We are planing a Pirates of the Caribbean Pool party! This would be a great addition to the party!

  24. One of the most loved contemporary love stories of all time – Titanic
    The movie when I fell in love…Would love to recreate those memories

  36. If I had a sweet projector like this one you can be sure that my go to movies of choice that I’d be watching are the lord of the rings series. It’s been 18 years since the first one came out and they still hold up! Always a pleasure to watch

  37. I’m a huge studio ghibli fan so I’d love to go back and rewatch all their movies.

  38. I’m a huge studio ghibli fan so I’d love to go back and rewatch all their movies. It’s a huge nostalgia thing.
