Verdict
The BenQ W2720i is a quiet, factory-calibrated 4K projector with Android TV that is best used in a darkened room, since it isn't bright enough for daylight.

Verdict
The BenQ W2720i suits dark rooms with screens up to 3 meters wide and shows almost no rainbow effect, but its black depth only meets the basics.

What customers don't like about BenQ W2720i

  • No native support for Dolby Vision
  • Built-in 5W speakers lack power and deep bass for a true cinematic experience
  • Occasional 'rainbow artifacts' (RBE) which may be noticeable to sensitive users
  • Missing some regional streaming apps (e.g., BBC iPlayer, ITVX) on the included Android TV dongle
  • Lack of horizontal lens shift, which may complicate placement in some rooms
  • Large 'battleship' size makes it less portable or living-room friendly than some competitors

Verdict

The BenQ W2720i is a 4K UHD DLP home cinema projector featuring a 4LED light source with 2,500 ANSI lumens brightness and a 30,000-hour lifespan. It prioritises visual fidelity with 90% DCI-P3 and 98% Rec.709 colour coverage, factory-calibrated Delta E<3 accuracy, and support for HDR10+ and Filmmaker Mode. Smart capabilities are provided via an integrated Android TV dongle, while installation is simplified through 1.3x optical zoom, ±5% vertical lens shift, and AI-driven 'Auto Screen Fit'. Key pros include exceptional out-of-the-box colour accuracy, quiet 26-28dB operation, and versatile connectivity with three HDMI 2.1 ports (including eARC). However, it lacks Dolby Vision support, may exhibit occasional DLP rainbow artifacts, and features relatively modest built-in 5W stereo speakers that may require an external audio upgrade for a full cinematic experience.
