Verdict

The BenQ W2700 is a true 4K UHD DLP home theater projector featuring a 0.47-inch DMD chip that delivers 8.3 million distinct pixels with a brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens and a 30,000:1 contrast ratio. It is highly regarded for its CinematicColor technology, which achieves 95% DCI-P3 and 100% Rec.709 color accuracy, supported by factory calibration and HDR-PRO technology (HDR10/HLG) for enhanced tone mapping. Its short-throw lens and 1.3x zoom allow for a 100-inch display from just 2.5 meters, while +10% vertical lens shift and auto-keystone simplify setup. Main pros include exceptional out-of-the-box color fidelity, a sharp all-glass 10-element lens, and versatile installation for smaller rooms. However, cons include higher-than-average input lag (~83ms) for competitive gaming, noticeable fan noise in normal mode (30dB), and limited brightness when the wide color gamut filter is engaged.

What customers dislike about BenQ W2700?

  • Noticeable fan noise, especially in brighter lamp modes.
  • High input lag (approx. 85ms) makes it poorly suited for competitive gaming.
  • Black levels can appear more dark grey than 'inky' black, leading to some loss in shadow detail.
  • Tricky to balance the color palette and can occasionally be 'buggy' with firmware.
  • Integrated speakers are convenient but lack cinematic depth and sound stage.
  • Lower peak brightness when using the DCI-P3 wide color gamut filter.
