BenQ W1070+ 1080P Full HD Short-throw Home Cinema Projector

The BenQ W1070+ is Full HD 1080p resolution and 3D ready and is the replacement to the hugely popular and acclaimed W1070. Contrast ratio remains the same at 10,000:1 so the blacks on the BenQ W1070+ are still deep whilst the detail in the image is very impressive indeed. Out of the box presets are very good on color accuracy and a improvement on its predecessor whose colors were already good! For us turning off brilliant color via the menu gives a natural, lifelike skin tone.

BenQ W1070+ is the best home entertainment projector. It is only a push of a button away! With BenQ's new-generation wireless projection capability, side projection feature, and short-throw technology, the W1070+ living room projector takes 1080p uncompressed Full HD home entertainment to the top with the freedom to set it up wherever and however you like. Measuring 312x104x244mm and weighing 2.75kg, it's surprisingly compact, while the sleek white styling is easy to live with. It also performs reasonably well in daylight, thanks to this single-chip DLP projectors' 2,200 ANSI Lumens lamp. That is of huge importance, especially in the long nights of summer, but also if you plan to use the W1070+ around the office.

An age-old problem of projectors – and the reason they have never really caught-on in the average living room – is that the DVD player, set-top box and games console must be moved to wherever the projector is. Not so with the W1070+ if you take-up BenQ's offer of an optional wireless transmitter and receiver (which deal in uncompressed 1080p 2D or 3D, and itself has three HDMI inputs), though at £249 I suspect the WDS01 Wireless Full HD Kit won't be popular. The W1070+ is also 3D ready, simply connect your 3D source (blu ray player, SKY 3D, PS3 etc, 3D Av receiver) directly to the projector via a HDMI cable (version 1.4) and your ready to view 3D images. (Optional 3D DLP link glasses with a refresh rate of 144 Hz required. The W1070+ has a refresh rate of 144Hz which results in a smoother 3D performance compared to 3D projectors running a 120 Hz refresh rate.)
