Verdict

The BenQ W700 is a portable HD-ready DLP projector featuring a native 720p (1280 x 720) resolution and 2,200 ANSI lumens of brightness, making it capable of delivering clear images in rooms with some ambient light. Key characteristics include a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, 3D readiness, and an impressive lamp life of up to 6,000 hours in Eco mode. Main advantages are its excellent out-of-the-box greyscale accuracy, solid motion handling for gaming, and dual HDMI inputs for versatile connectivity. However, notable drawbacks include limited shadow detail, the potential for visible rainbow artefacts due to the single-chip DLP design, and audible fan noise during operation.
