BenQ W1070 Projector

I'll be blunt: I don't like 3D. I've never been able to justify paying extra to see it in the theater, and at home it has always left me cold. Most implementations give me a headache almost instantly with their crosstalk-filled images and ghosting the...

BenQ W1070

If you think that "budget projector" means those under-powered, handheld pico projectors, then you should think again. Like most everything else in consumer electronics, serious, wall-filling home theater projectors continue to get cheaper and better...

The BenQ W1070 offers very good picture quality for the price, including respectable black levels and excellent color accuracy. 3D playback is excellent.

No 3D glasses are included, and they cost $99 each. Low-level shadow detail is crushed. With the 3D upgrades, the Epson 3020 could be a better option.

If you want a huge, good-looking image for a little money, few come close to the BenQ W1070 projector.

BenQ W1070 DLP Front Projector Reviewed

BenQ has made a name for itself in recent years as a more affordable option for consumers' home theaters. Andrew Robinson puts the BenQ W1070 to the test to see what it can really offer the consumer.

While not perfect, BenQ's W1070 single-chip 3D HD DLP projector is a great starting point for those considering getting into the front-projection game. Its sub-$1,000 retail price makes it obtainable for many, and its supreme brightness and...

Consumer review by: N/A (newegg.com)

Amazing projector!

I have this projector along with a 100" Elite Screens Sable fixed frame in cinewhite with 1.1 gain paired with Samsung's new BD F-7500 Blu Ray player, and the picture out of the box is outstanding! I have yet to watch and 3D content, but so far the 2D...

None, except no glasses are included. But at this price point I guess that is to be expected

BenQ W1070 review

The W1070 is one of the latest additions to BenQ's DLP home cinema projector line-up. It's 3D ready and has a Full HD (1,920x1,080) resolution with a brightness of 2,000 ANSI lumens. Surprisingly, it's also extremely good value.

You won't find a projector capable of such excellent picture quality in 2D and 3D footage for less

BenQ W1070

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

Amazingly cheap ; Good 2D and 3D picture quality ; Vertical image shift

No backlight on remote ; Pictures look a touch noisy ; Very limited optical zoom

Once we'd managed to work round its setup limitations and figured out how to avoid a couple of initial picture niggles, we were left with pictures from the BenQ W1070 that comfortably surpassed our expectations, making it just the latest entry on a...

BenQ W1070

The sharp and clear picture impresses, but lack of subtlety in dark scenes and motion issues hamper this budget offering

Clear, bright images ; Compact ; Good contrast levels with deep blacks and punchy whites

Takes time to set up ; lacks subtlety with dark scenes ; Motion could be better ; 3D glasses extra
