Affordable, very good picture and tech support.

Contrast ratio is lower than similar models.

Affordable home theater projector option.

Brightest of the low cost 1080p projectors - great for family rooms, bonus rooms, where some light is present ; Good color, very satisfactory for most folks (though definitely not a purist's projector) ; Built in speaker - ideal for quick setup or...

Black level performance is very basic more typical of 720p projectors than the bulk of 1080p models. It's fine, though, for use in rooms that always have some light ; Limited placement flexibility, and no lens shift (typical DLP projector) ; Slow 2x...

The BenQ W1000 is an entry level 1080p projector. In color accuracy, black levels and some other areas, it's not a match for projectors that start at about double the price, but, more importantly, the W1000 is still extremely impressive, with a dynamic...

Low price, portable, reasonable brightness for a home theatre projector

Low contrast ratio

The BenQ W1000 home theatre projector has a 1080p Full HD resolution and displays plenty of fine image detail, but it struggles when it comes to displaying dark or light areas of video. It is affordable and portable, so it is a good option for...

Excellent value for money ; Sharp HD pictures ; Range of picture adjustment options

Unstylish design ; No optical vertical image shifting ; Limited 1.2x optical zoom

When all's said and done, the W1000 is pretty much equivalent in basic performance quality to the Optoma HD20. But it distinguishes itself to aficionados courtesy of its impressive fine-tuning flexibility.

Performance transcends price point expectations ; Neat, compact design ; Calibration possibilities

Motion judder ; Who needs a 3W speaker

Simple set-up, easy to use ; fine attention to detail ; nicely balanced colours ; price

Not the last word in motion stability

It’s not flawless, but it is astonishingly capable given the price tag

Small size ; Reliable colour accuracy ; Decent contrast range

Rainbow effect ; Blur ; Slight softness

Nicely priced and neatly put together, this compact, full HD beamer is capable of some serious cinema
