If you want a big image for little money then few come close to what the BenQ W1070 projector can offer.
The ; 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.

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.
Expert review by : Clint DeBoer (audioholics.com)
BenQ is attempting to set some new price barriers for home theater projectors. The new W1070 and W1080ST DLP projectors are priced at $1,099 and $1299 respectively.

While the BenQ W1070 has some issues, almost all of them are the things you need to do to bring out a projector at the $1,000 price point. Some light drop-off at the corners and some more placement restrictions are what you will have to deal with,...

While our subject here is the W1070 home theater projector from BenQ, there's more than a little business projector DNA in its genes. How else to explain a single-chip DLP design that's a third the size and weight of most dedicated home theater models,...
After measuring and watching the BenQ for weeks, I returned to my current reference projector, last year’s $3,500 JVC DLA-X30 (Home Theater, May 2012). The JVC’s far superior blacks not only improved dark scenes dramatically, but its deeper contrast...

Expert review by : Andrew Robinson (hometheaterreview.com)
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...

Wow! The BenQ W1070 isn’t an alternative (when it comes to black level performance) to ultra-high-contrast projectors like the Epson 5020UB, Panasonic PT-AE8000U, or Sony VPL-HW50ES. But those are mostly $3000 range projectors. To my best guess, the...
