Review: Mind Blowing - JUST BUY IT ALREADY. For the price , you really can't go wrong and seriously you are not compromising on any video quality. Let me start of saying that, this is my first projector and picture quality was mind blowing. Its as good as watching in a real theater. Let me not get into, how good this projector is or the black level that everyone had talked about. I shall focus on things for which I could not find answers online. I was convinced to get Optoma HD-25LV, but I end up getting this for couple of specific reasons. I am glad I did that (and I saved $300 as well :-) . In my opinion $884 is a steal for this projector. My Theater room has a low ceiling height of 7'5" H * 13.5" W X 22' Length and my top of the screen is about 5" - 6" from the ceiling. HD-25 requires atleast a 8" for the center of the lens to be higher than. Ben Q doesn't require a specific clearance from the ceiling, you could go flush if you want. I used the mount (refer below) approximately 5" drop from the ceiling. NO keystone Or Lens Shift or Zoom was used in my case. Don't relay on the distance calculator its quite off in my opinion. Simple Technique is, Enable the Test Pattern and set the background to blue. Built a simple stand using empty cardboard boxes. Select the Projector position to "Front Ceiling", put the projector upside down on top of the cardboard boxes. I moved slowly back until I can align the edges of the test pattern with my screen. Once close enough, I basically put the mount (not attached) and made it snug using some of my kids book (At this point, it was slightly off and I was worried that I may need to use Keystone Correction). Hung it using the mount and adjusted (both horizontally & vertically), Voila a perfect square. A Simple one man job. Certainly its a short throw compared with Epson or Optoma. I used NATGEO (National Geographic HD Channel from Dish and Blu Ray DVD) to compare between this projector and an 50" Pioneer Elite TV. Honestly, I didn't find any difference at all. In fact, I was able to see for the first time minor details of the image just because of the sheer size of the image. I "hated" non HD channels from Dish on this projector, but it looked nice on the TV, I believe its the size. My theater room is completely dark and this projector illuminates the whole room. Its quite bright. I tried with lights on, its still good. I know I read "Rainbow effects" in lot of places, but I don't know what that is and I didn't see anything other than the movie, I didn't do any setting modifications yet, but right out of the box its pretty good. I have a link from AVS forum for calibration, that I shall post once I had a chance to play around with. Here are the things that I bought Universal Projector Ceiling Mount for DLP / LCD video projectors (Heavy Duty Steel, White, adjustable height 16.9-Inch - 25.6-Inch, built-in cable management, easy installation) - Excellent mount. If you need a height between 6" - 16" drop don't buy it. However this projector has vertical lens shift that could potentially compensate. Elite Screens ER100DH2 Sable Fixed Frame Projection Screen - Amazing screen for this projector. I also bout True Depth 3D glasses, but yet to test 3D or the glass. I also used high speed HDMI cables with Redmere Technology from Mono price, which are by far the cheapest and best quality especially if you want to run 35' in wall
Review: Amazing projector buy it! - This is a great sub $1k projector in every sense of the word. I had an epson 720p LCD for the last few years and have gotten used to the idea of having a projector integrated into my daily home theater experience. It was ceiling mounted and pointed at a pull down favi screen. The original setup cost $500 thanks to Craigslist. Decided to treat myself and buy something new and more modern. I based my decision on a few factors. The projector had to be 1080p and had to support 3d. A month was spent evaluating the options. In the end I went with the BenQ W1070 based on the reviews here and desertcart as well as the projector and home theater sites on the inter webs. All of that background said lets talk about the projector. It puts out a beautiful picture. That FAVI screen (bought here for $100) is starting to sag and has a few ripples. It doesn't matter, this thing puts off such a strong picture that its not noticeable. A few others have noted how bright the initial image is and they're right. Fortunately you get a lot of options for tweaking the colors. It actually is one of the few projectors that is certified (don't ask me the organization) and offers options that are normally only offered by much higher dollar projectors and televisions. So the 2D performance is perfect. I use this with a HTPC, XBOX360, and blue ray player all running through a receiver. It just works well right out of the box and once you tweak those colors it's even better. Now of course what about 3D? This thing single handedly sold me on the concept of 3d in the home. It uses active DLP IR glasses which essentially means they have an IR receiver and pick up the signal reflected off the screen from the projector. No pairing required just turn them on. Went with the sainsonic 144hz. The 3d image is sharp, clear, colorful, bright, and I could see no rainbow effect. Tried it with movies as well as PC games (Skyrim especially looks great!) If you go 3d do yourself a service and set up surround sound. The immersive experience is more than words can describe. 3d is definitely not a gimmick. Last night we watched Pirhana 3DD (don't judge) and my GF actually spilled her drink freaking out when the spiny little death machine of a fish jumped out of the screen at her. So a couple of tips for you would be buyers: 1. This is a HDMI 1.4a projector. Pay attention to the 3d modes and respective resolutions. I spent days figuring out how to set it up correctly with the PC. For movies 1080p 24hz (Frame packing) or 1080i 60hz (SBS). For games 1080i (SBS) or 720p (Frame Packing) Get the appropriate 3d driver for your video card and let it fly. 2. This has a lot of options for tweaking out the color and setting up multiple user modes for different applications. Google it and see what other folks have already done to save yourself time 3. The projector is really quiet just mount it correctly 4. Said it before saying it again. Set up surround sound. It'll cost you $500 or less for a decent setup between the receiver, speakers, and subwoofer. It's worth it. Enjoy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: May I know whether it has a voltage option? I live in Malaysia where the voltage is 220-240V. I will be getting this projector in USA.**
A: usually this works on 240V, 50 Hz power in different country. I have used Epson projector in India (240V, 50 Hz) bought in the US. Only thing I needed was a different adaptor to connect cable to power socket.

**Q: anybody playing games on this? notice any lag?**
A: I have played Warcraft and Destiny and Halo and Call of Duty and other games on this projector. I am a very avid gamer. And by that I mean I follow MLG and pro gamers and play with some of them. This projector surprisingly doesn't lag much. Now would I play the new Halo MCC game when I am wanting to win and get a high rank or when I am playing with some pros? Def not I would recommend a monitor with 1ms like the BenQ that is made for MLG gaming. Now if your just casual and not competitive like most you will have no problems with this projector gaming!

**Q: Has anyone tried using a Chromecast dongle with this. I was curious if the usb type B input behind the projector would power a Chromecast dongle?**
A: I couldn't get one to work on mine without the power adapter. Then again, I have yet to find a TV that would power any of my Chromecasts, so I have had to use the power adapter for all of them. I have tried (all relatively new (less than 3 years old) models: Samsung plasma, Sharp Aquos LED, Vizio LED, and W1070, and the Chromecast always needs the power adapter, so I think that their "Powered by the HDMI port" claim is a bit of a stretch for all but a very few models.

**Q: Whether projected picture colors are vivid(colorful)? Many portable projectors project very pale colors hence the doubt.**
A: Yes the colors are vivid and everyone I showed they were impressed with the picture quality coming out from this projector . I did not try the 3D  yet ,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Economical projector with nice picture but frequently overheats and shuts itself down...ISSUE FIXED!!!!!!!!!
*by A***Y on December 17, 2016*

Update: After much gnashing of teeth over the overheating issue (see below), I finally contacted Benq Support to try and get it fixed...again. In March of this year I submitted a support ticket...19 months after purchase. Without any drama, they issued an RMA and paid to ship it BOTH ways and rapidly got it back to me (I contacted them on March 19th, got the prepaid label on March 21st and it was back to me on April 7th (FEDEX attempted delivery on April 6th and I wasn't home). I've had it back for 4 months and it has operated flawlessly (I hope this doesn't jinx me). Now, I am VERY HAPPY!!! I still didn't give it 5 stars because of the long road to get here, but it is a HUGE relief to finally get this thing working as it should. And though BENQ didn't tell me what they did to fix it, they did it VERY quickly and it didn't cost me a dime even though it was 7 months out of warranty. That's impressive! Original Review: I have had this projector installed in my basement (the coolest area in the house) for a little over a year now. It is ceiling mounted with a Benq mount and projects onto a 115" screen. I live at about 6800', so I've enabled the High Altitude mode since I first set it up. This significantly increases the fan noise, but usually it isn't distracting. The picture is fairly sharp, bright and colors are good right out of the box. No significant issues with the picture and I've never felt much desire to have it professionally calibrated or to spend hours tweaking the picture. If pushed, I would say that my previous projector (Panasonic PT-AR100U) was a touch more natural although that projector was more expensive and physically larger. So, picture-wise, this is a pretty good deal IMHO. The reason that my rating is so low is because I've been plagued with overheating issues. The projector initially started overheating and shutting down a couple months after installation. I went online and worked with a Benq technician who helped me reset the projector. It worked for a couple of weeks, before it started overheating again. Eventually, I sent it back to Benq. They turned it around in a reasonable amount of time, but I got ZERO feedback on what they might have done (or not done) to it, which is frustrating. When I reinstalled it, I reduced the bulb power option to "Economy" and the problem went away for several months. But, it came back. I've had it shut down during the summer and winter and I keep the thermostat (which is upstairs) at 68 degrees, so this is not about ambient temperature. The fans continue to operate until the projector shuts down, so they aren't to blame. A bulb problem should have reappeared immediately when I got it back. It seems to me that the projector needs routine cleaning, but there is no removable filter (my Panasonic had one) and no instructions on how to take it apart and clean it. So, now that my warranty is expired, I guess I can crack it open and see how dirty it is (or isn't). EDIT: I'm not sure if the projector knows that I've been talking bad about it, but it has suddenly gotten shutdown happy. I've only got 1600 hours on the bulb. I tried using the ecosmart power setting and the projector shutdown after only 10 minutes. Economical is the only setting I've had any luck with watching for extended periods. I'm listening to the Steelers play right now because the projector shutdown on me for the second time today. It shutdown earlier after watching a movie on YouTube. If you buy this projector, use it for 8+ hours a day for the first 30 days. If it shutdowns, send it back!!!!!
