I’m a long time fan of Projector reviews. I was just wondering how many months it was going to take a few more days to finish the W1070 review? Thank you.

Thanks for the great review.
Regarding calibration settings, White balance gain is 95 by default, not 50 as mentioned in calibration page. Can you please update the numbers.

Sorry Jay, Last minute – closed up shop for a few days and took a trip – without work for once. -art

Ignatious, that’s a pretty good assessment. Getting back to writing it in a minute. Sorry about the long delay. Just turned out to be a lot more family and friends time this holiday. Even got away with my wife Lori for a few days, and for once I didn’t turn on my laptop. -art

Hi Smokarz, I’m in the midst of writing it now. It absolutely must post before I leave for CES monday morning. Watching it now. It’s rather nice, in fact.

Hi Art,

Have you got a chance to finish the review on the W1070? Looks like it just hit the US market.

Thanks

Hi gentlemen. Is it possible to know the exact date the review will be up? My life depends on it.

Thank you very much for your reviews.

Hi Art
Are you far off posting your review for this fella? The wait is killing me cause I’ve been hanging on since Christmas for a ‘quality’ review from either yourself or the boys from Projector Central. Pete certainly had some good things to say but would definitely appreciate a more comprehensive assessment of this baby’s abilities before pulling the trigger on it or the Epson 3020 which I guess is its most direct 3D capable competition despite the price difference.

Pete’s review seemed to suggest that the 1070 ticked all the boxes
- good overall picture quality
- good 3D
- good gaming lag numbers
- handy features like audio out and in-built speaker
- fantastic price

Some concerns though about the following but probably acceptable for the price range.
- finnicky zoom/focus controls
- brightness in 3D and with ambient light and thus whether it is a good living room projector?
- black levels and contrast

Look forward to the review and seeing if you are prepared to say that this is the best value for money 3D capable home video/gaming projector on the market.
