What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ W1070

Picture quality is great - followed the advice of others on here and turned on SmartEco mode for the lamp which seems to further improve contrast.
Very good projector. 1080p video, I have a screen of 3.5x2 meters more or less in HD.
Very bright. It is my first projector, and from all the reviews I have found online, this projector was the best, and it is!
Very nice projector - light, great image and strong light output.
Crystal clear, I have noticed no rainbow effect at all.

BenQ W1080ST 2000 Lumens DLP HD 3D Projector

No need to worry about lighting - the screen lights up the whole room.
At the moment I am just projecting onto a white wall and it is terrific. Football is brilliant. So are films.
The colors are vibrant and the brightness and contrast is perfectly acceptable to me.
The projector is really bright so you can keep it on eco mode and save your bulb.
Overall it was a great projector and we had fun using it. Strong and bright projection and GREAT SHORT THROW!

What customers say about "Display"

BenQ W1070

The item itself gave a really sharp image which was really good and blew me away.
Colours are rich, image is very detailed and even projected directly onto a wall looks good. On a screen, it's a fantastic experience.
We have it projecting onto a 120" screen, easily viewable in a lit room, in a dim room it's very watchable and in a darkened room it's addictive.
Great quality. The best projector for the money. Picture is absolutely outstanding.
Fantastic projector brilliant quality picture and easy to set up.

BenQ W1080ST 2000 Lumens DLP HD 3D Projector

I have it in my living room and it projects a 2.5m screen no problem.
For the first time I have been able to distinguish between HD and non HD. It really is fantastic.
Trialled a BenQ W1080ST at Bath Richer Sounds and was immediately sold on the quality and crispness (and size) of the picture.
Early days, but the picture in 2D and 3D is vivid and colourful.
The colors and detail level darn near rival my 70" Sony! I was very impressed.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ W1070

The 3D performance. DLP lives up to its promise with zero artifacts or crosstalk and a beautiful image that is full of depth and stunning positive and negative parallax effects.
I projected on a white wall initially and then I bought a screen, it was great on both. The 3d is for me better than the cinema.
The 3d is like the cinema, together with my 100 inch projector screen i got a great set now!
Have used everyday. Perfect for movies and gaming.
With 3D, it is using 2 images on the screen in slightly different places and when they are viewed through 3D glasses the screen just disappears - it is beautiful!

BenQ W1080ST 2000 Lumens DLP HD 3D Projector

It is also fairly quiet - don't really notice the fan noise at all. I would recommend to anyone who would like a large TV.
Watched the 'Titanic: 100 years in 3D' and this looked amazing.
Top Gun' looks awesome in 3D on a 90" screen, as does Titanic. Just as good with 2D blu-rays as well.
The short throw lens will allow me to use it in the house for a 114" picture at reasonable distance.
Perfect, vibrant colors, 3D capability, amazing short throw specs.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

BenQ W1070

Giant fifa with the lads or just any ps4 game and I've used my chromecast with it for BT sport to watch footy!
Two HDMI hookups. Also has VGA, audio in/out etc.
Works very well with Mac (with mandatory overpriced adapter of course) and PC.
It has both HDMI and 15HD VGA inputs plus a whole lot more.
I use it in my man cave for movies and for xbox 360/xbox one/ps3.

BenQ W1080ST 2000 Lumens DLP HD 3D Projector

We have it attached to the Xbox, sound system and Steam Link (so lots of cables). Everything is easy to attach and set-up but this is more convenient.
This projector gets left on all day and night and is used for TV, DVD, XBOX, blu ray, 3d movies etc, etc and every thing comes through crystal clear.
I'm running this projector off of a Mac Mini with an HDMI connection and it works flawlessly.
The image is crisp, setup is easy, it supports various sources (2 x HDMI and a VGA is more than enough for most setups) and the short throw can be quite useful.
I have used the VGA and HDMI cables and in both cases the projected image is impressive.
