Verdict

The BenQ W1070 is a compact 1080p Full HD home cinema projector featuring DLP technology with a DarkChip3 processor, delivering 2,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. It is highly regarded for its out-of-the-box color accuracy, Rec. 709 gamut compatibility, and excellent 3D performance that is virtually free of crosstalk. Key features include a 1.3:1 manual zoom, vertical lens shift for flexible installation, dual HDMI inputs, and SmartEco technology that extends lamp life up to 6,000 hours in eco mode. While it offers impressive sharpness and low input lag for gaming, some users note mediocre black levels in very dark scenes, audible fan noise (up to 33 dBA), and a non-backlit remote control.
