The BenQ DLP HD 1080p Projector (W1070) is a very good projector when you don't have a lot of money to spend, but want a Theatre vibe in the home. I do. I do. I do.
I am a huge fan of the movies, but don't like to spend so much money to see them on a big screen. Not to mention the rudeness of others. And people are getting ruder everyday.
So this projector works. Fairly bright (2500 hrs or less on Bulb), color is descent, no auto focus, but I don't mind that. The fan can get a little loud if the projector is being used for a longer time and the room is not too cool (I'm in Central Florida) so I do get the louder fan noise if I don't have the AC running. Not a deal breaker.
I use the projector for about a 120" screen - just projected onto the wall (Beige Color) and it is very watchable. The wife loves it and doesn't complain. This is how we watch our movies together. Very happy.
You won't be disappointed by this projector. It will do very well as a first or second projector.
I do have to say BUYER BEWARE when you purchase things on Amazon and it is said to be NEW. They are mostly going to be NEW, but occasionally you will get something that you can tell has been opened and used for a little bit. That happened to me with this Projector Order. The projector arrived, I assumed it was new until within the first year, the bulb blew (Popped Loudly) so I ordered a replacement. I assumed it was just a faulty bulb, but when the new bulb arrived and I had to open the projector - 1 screw was missing and you could see scratches from where someone used a screwdriver or a knife to lift the cover for the bulb.
Also, after replacing the bulb - The picture was very very nice. My wife said it looked brighter than she had remembered it when we first used the projector. It was brighter. I feel as though someone had wanted to get a new bulb, ordered the projector, swapped the bulbs and sent the projector back to Amazon where it was then forwarded to fill my order. This is why we can get orders from Amazon very quickly.
That can also be the downside, people will order and swap things out, and then return the product for someone else to get stuck with. It even happens at LOWE'S, HOME DEPOT, BEST BUY etc. People will use any method they can to save themselves a few bucks at our expense.
So watch out people, Amazon is a good place to shop most of the time, but you will need to be ready to return items if they look as though they are not NEW. Also watch when you order that you are buying a product that is NEW and not a Like New. Sometimes the low price blinds us.
I was hesitant to purchase a projector, not wanting be caught "holding the bag" so to speak. I spent hours...probably 30+, reviewing the myriad of different projects available within the lower tier pricing area. I looked at the Epson 3020, various Optoma's, and BenQ. After hours of reviewing, including CNet reviews and various other places, I determined the BenQ would be the winner. I finally "pulled the trigger" about a week ago and it arrived on a Wednesday. My plan was to do a quick test that evening, then perform the install on the weekend.
After setting it up on a table, then testing it out with various DVR'd movies, then with a little Super Street Fighter IV AE, I was completely blown away! I think this projector is quite a steal at the price listed, with pretty good quality. I was concerned about DLP vs the others and I found no issues at all. SSFIV looked amazing! There was no delay while playing and I had set the general size, while on the table, to approximately 140". The images were incredibly crisp and it certainly gave a feeling similar to sitting in a theater. Goal achieved!
My projector for the weekend turned into a Wednesday night project, with me staying up until nearly 1 AM watching a few shows and playing a few games, soaking it all in. Buyer beware--early testing may significantly alter your previous plan.
Overall, installation wasn't too hard--if you're handy, mounting this projector to the ceiling isn't too difficult. Keep in mind, this only has a vertical keystone and no horizontal keystone--so if you mount it off center, you may have to make some adjustments. My primary concern was the stability of the projector and making sure it would not fall. With the proper mount, this BenQ will be permanently attached to your ceiling without any hassles.
I'd suggest looking at the Peerless PRGUNV Precision Gear Universal Projector Mount. That guy is 100% sturdy and allowed me to properly mount with the projector without fear of it falling. If you're not a person that installs these things on the regular, I'd suggest the rule of 4 for installation. What is that? Well, I thought I'd have the mount up and done within 20 minutes or so...yeah, I clocked in at somewhere around 1 hr 20 minutes, when I factored in finding the studs, centering, etc.
Ok, so the picture quality is quite good, with the ability to hit 1080p with both blu-ray, dvr, and video games. Like a few reviews say, the darks can be a bit dark, but making an adjustment temporarily to fix this isn't a problem. I watched divergent the other day and just tapped it up a bit to make sure I could see the details while in the night scenes. I would point out, it really isn't any worse than a plasma, in that respect. The picture is quite nice while watching sports, including basketball and football. I have not a worry about the quality, although sometimes very fast movements are slightly blurry, but not any more than my plasma, again.
As for a screen, my house has that special flat paint made projectors. It is gray in color and it has no issues showing a perfect picture. The whites are incredibly crisp on this wall and I would highly recommend looking at this as an option compared to buying a screen. I see the screen having utility if you're planning on showing movies outside, but if you're not, skip it!
Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with this purchase and I have to agree with the experts. If you have to choose between a 60" 4K and a 120+" 1080p, go big or go home. I saved myself well over $800 going this route--enough to roll that money into a new surround sound system. Not to mention, my friends are now looking at following my lead.
Lastly, it is important to figure our what size you want your picture to be and the throw distance. This is a standard throw set-up and BenQ has a calculator on their website to determine where to mount the projector to get the size you need. If you have less space or you'd like to project onto a wall with an angle, I'd recommend picking up the BenQ W1080ST. Two different workhorses for two different applications, but both are quality in my mind.

Now, I don't have a DVD or Bluray player so I can't really comment there; these next comments will be pretty PC-specific.
The digital keystone is rough. I don't know if other projectors are better or not, but if you're wanting pixel-crisp straight lines you definitely want to set it up in such a way that allows ±0 keystone. Fortunately, if you're ceiling mounting it, that should be fairly workable. There is a minor vertical optical adjustment, which is handy for fine tuning. Doesn't appear to be left-right adjustment or compensation, so make sure your room works for head-on projection.
The 3D is neat, and I bought the SainSonic shutter glasses. Honestly, if you're looking at this for 3D gaming, I wouldn't. You can only drive the full 1080 resolution at 24 hz which is basically unplayable. There's 720 at 60hz, but then you have to play everything in lower resolution - not the end of the world, but sort of disappointing. Also note that the 3D thing from Nvidia is another $40 after the 14 day free trial. Console gaming is sort of inherently tragic because the Xbox 360 barely pushes 720 with 2x AA so stretching it to massive physical size is only going to show the flaws but, that isn't this projector's fault.
There's a speaker, but it's pretty lame. Not even sure why it's there. HDMI can contain both video and audio which the projector actually recognizes. That's cool for office / data projector needs, I guess.
For the price (which I noticed is $70 cheaper only a few weeks after I bought it :/ ) it seems hard to go wrong. You get great native resolution and a solid picture. I'd buy it again
