The Laser and LED-based TV projectors gaining traction in India, as they offer better portability (easy to move around) and most importantly, are much less expensive compared to exuberantly priced ultra premium 98-inch and bigger TVs.

Compared to China, India is still in a nascent stage when it comes to TV projector adoption, but is poised to reach at least 50 per cent of the market in terms of consumer segment by the end of 2024, Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, BenQ India & South Asia said to DH.

Currently, BenQ is the market leader in DLP projectors (32 per cent share) and 4K TV projector(42 per cent).

Also, BenQ is taking several initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint during the manufacturing of its products and reduce the negative impact on the environment.

"We have reduced hazardous materials in our products, earlier UHP-based projectors used to come with mercury in the lamps, when the latter got disposed off, the mercury used to seep into the environment. Now, we are not using such lamps, instead have adopted solid-state LED or Laser. They don't have any harmful substance at all,' Singh added.

"Second thing, we are using solar-based renewable energy to run factories that manufacture BenQ's TV projectors, thereby reducing our dependence on fossil fuel, and lowering our carbon footprint. Also, we are generating our own electricity to run the units. We have chalked out a neat plan to turn carbon neutral in the near future," Singh concluded.

BenQ's latest V5000i series 4K RGB laser TV projector costs Rs 5,49,000 and comes with a 100-inch projector screen as part of the retail package.
