Setting up a new BenQ projector at work today, the provided "quick start guide" indicates scanning the qr code, connecting the projector to your google account etc..... there are no "skip this step" options offered....
We just want to plug in a laptop.
Took about 15 minutes before I discovered, if I just press input on the remote - the annoying startup self guided installation goes away & it'll show the HDMI connection #facepalm #enshittification
