Best Bang for Your Buck, Great Projector
Did about a month of research before purchasing a projector. This one and a $2000 don’t were my final options, and I felt the value of this Benq would exceed that of the Sony. As best as I can tell so far, 100% correct. Setup was simple, unit has two dials for enlarging and sharpening the picture, and provides a crisp 135” 1080p image with excellent color accuracy at just 11 feet away.
Black levels are excellent, color accuracy is solid and the dreaded rainbow …
Buying this BenQ projector was my third attempt at finding a projector to fit my medium sized living room and it turned out that the third time was the charm. This projector exceeds my expectations for a sub 1000 dollar product. Black levels are excellent, color accuracy is solid and the dreaded rainbow effect is minimal (which is something that I am sensitive to).I’ll start off with the black levels. I honestly can’t tell where the letter boxes on movies end on the edge of the screen which was very obvious on all three of my previous projectors. To say it another way, if I’m displaying a pure black image I can’t see where the edges of the projection end. With lower end projectors you usually have a lot of light leakage in the black so blacks show up as a gray color. This is (nearly) completely absent on the BenQ. Blacks are indeed black and I couldn’t be happier.I’d like to comment more on color accuracy but this is something I’ve never had a superb eye for. I can tell when things are off but I lack the ability to perceive the finer differences in a well calibrated display. That being said this projector has great color accuracy to my eye and I haven’t felt the need to do much fine tuning.One thing I hate with DLP projectors is the rainbow effect. For those unfamiliar DLP projectors can have a problem with light shapes moving on black backgrounds such as credits in movies. If you move your eyes there appears to be a rainbow colored trail the follows the light shape. It’s really distracting to me and I’m glad to say that this is not a problem with the benq projector at all. I can see it a little bit if a shake my head a lot but I can in no way see this effect under normal viewing conditions.The 3d on this projector is adequate. It’s not as nice as my samsung TV. The samsung, the images pop out quite a bit and you have the ability to adjust the depth of the 3d which this projector doesn’t offer BUT it’s fine and there’s nothing to complain about. No ghosting or double images and the projector is definitely bright enough to support the dimming effect of 3d glasses. If you’re a big fan of 3d like my wife and I are then you’ll most likely be satisfied with what this projector can do.A nice feature that this projector offers is the ability to project large at relatively short distances compared to other projectors. My living room isn’t that wide from couch to screen, probably only 9 feet but this projector get’s to the entire 110 inches with out maxing out it’s zoom. There are better options out there if you have an even more narrow living room but they are more costly.All in all I’m delighted with this purchase for it’s cost and performance. If this projector fits your budget then I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.
Best Projector
This is the best projector for the price. I saw several projectors in my friends places but this one’s the best.Colors are very vivid and bright. I am using this on my bed room wall and the projection size is about 150 inches. It is awesome as it gets. Gaming is awesome on this too. Keystone feature is great as i am projecting from a corner but picture looks straight with no issues.Pros - Keystone , built in speakers, brightness and colors.Cons - It heats up the room a little

Lamp stop working on me at 14 month (2 month after manufacture warranty), and I did not watch anywhere near the 7000 hours lamp life of TV because that would mean I would have watched 16.6 hours a day.
We love it and 3d movies are out of this world
Movie Theater Quality! I never write reviews but I felt it was a must! We love it and 3d movies are out of this world!!
My first projector, and I’m delighted with the purchase (see rig details below).
Amazing resolution and color. Really great 3D effect. Using Firestorm LT 2.0! DLP link 3D glasses. Fills my 120” screen at 11’ mounting distance. This is the maximum distance away or image gets too big for the screen. Room has to be darkened to see detail in dark scenes at that size. Using Loctek PT2 LCD/DLP Projector Ceiling Mount and Homegear 120” HD Motorized 16:9 Projector Screen. Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (25 Feet) delivers signal from my Sony STR-DN104 Amp.
Awesome projector. Exceeded expectations
I went back and forth with which projector I should get. I looked at all the brands and decided to go with this model. I am extremely pleased. Picture looks fantastic on 120” screen.Carl’s blackout cloth is the cheapest way to go for a screen and is very good. I also bought that on Amazon for around $40. It came with instructions to build a frame. You can have a 120” screen for less that $100.The speakers on the projector get pretty loud. I strongly recommend a suround system. Onkyo makes a great 5.1 Dolby atmos for a very reasonable price. I use this projector for gaming and movies mostly. Blue Rays are the best. Easy set up. Highly recommend. Very quiet too. I can’t hear the fans.
So far A+

Great projector. The Rec
Great projector. The Rec.709 is spot on after doing my own calibration on User1. This for those who don’t want to fool with calibrating except for a fewer minor setting.
