The appeal of the BenQ W1050 projector is brutally simple. It delivers video-tuned pictures at kingly screen sizes for just £500. The question is: should true home cinema fans be excited about such a budget model, or is it really aimed just at the casual crowd? More to the point, has the AV world now got to a level where quality largescreen visuals cost the same as a premium console and a couple of games? As you’d expect of a projector that knows it’s more likely to live in and out of cupboards rather than being part of a permanent installation, the W1050 is small and portable.
