A full HD projector for £700 that amazingly doesn't suck for movies

BenQ W1070 review

This budget projector needs only a few minor tweaks to serve up solid hi-def images The BenQ W1070 wears its chief attraction right out there on its price tag. For despite being a 3D-capable projector claiming decent-looking contrast ratio and brightness figures of 10,000:1 and 2,000 ANSI Lumens respectively, it costs a penny under £700. Admittedly, this doesn’t get you a free pair of 3D glasses, but it’s still a damn tempting price all the same.

The BenQ W1070 3D home entertainment projector offers high-quality 1080p video that's bright enough to stand up to ambient light, but it shows rainbow artifacts relatively easily.

BENQ W1070:  Wow!  3D capable, 1080p, exceptional brightness and the promise of really good color!  Sounds like an expensive projector.  Not true, sub-$1000! Allow me to introduce you to BenQ’s W1070, when first shipping it was the first $999 1080p projector with 3D. [...]Read More...

Review: BenQ W1070 3D DLP Projector

Let’s go over some of the numbers here: 1080p, 3D, $1,000. Pretty solid specs and pricing for flat-panel TV, except ... this is no flat-panel. BenQ’s W1070 is, as you have probably deduced, a projector. I’ve reviewed a few projectors in this price range as exclusives for soundandvisionmag.com, and all came up rather lacking. Concessions made for price caused poor brightness, poor contrast ratio, poor color, or a combination of all three. Now, I’m willing to make allowances for price, but performance still has to be at least somewhat good.
