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
Compared with some of its previous efforts, BenQ doesn't quite hit the mark with the W1070; it's an enthusiastic and glossy picture, but the W1070 is outperformed by some price rivals. See all projector Best Buys Follow whathifi.com on Twitter0 Join ...
With images better suited to home cinema than PC output, the BenQ W1070 is a very well priced model that looks great and works well. You'll need to spend some time grappling with its controls, and we'd recommend using SmartEco on a regular basis. For thos...

Inexpensive, Works directly with HDMI 1.4a devices, Built, in speaker
Shows rainbow artifacts unusually often, Only works with 144Hz 3D glasses
Anyone who sees rainbow artifacts easily, or worries that someone else may be bothered by them, is well advised to stay away from the BenQ W1070 and focus on LCD projectors. If the rainbow effect isn't an issue for you, however, the BenQ W1070 has a lot ...

Reference greyscale accuracy, Excellent calibrated colour gamut, Motion handling is good in both 2D and 3D, 3D performance has no crosstalk, Excellent video processing, Lens shift control, Very competitive price
Black levels are mediocre in 2D, Dynamic range is limited by black levels, Default colour and greyscale could be better, Clipping white and the primary colours, Glasses are too big and heavy, HDMI handshaking can be slow, Remote control needs a redesign
No crosstalk in 3D mode, Accurate colours in Standard mode: a first!, Higherthanaverage contrast: 1330:1 on a 1% white test card, Very little rainbow effect, Inexpensive!
Noisy fan, Small, nonbacklit remote control not very practical, Lens shift doesn't give much room for manoeuvre, No motion interpolation

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 freaki...
