BenQ W7000 Projector – Full Specifications BenQ W7000 Projector: Pros and Cons BenQ W7000 Projector: Pros 3D capable Single chip DLP provides pretty clean 3D Excellent calibrated color and skin tones Very good black level performance – true “ultra high contrast” Rich colors, especially on darker scenes Very good placement flexibility Very good black level performance (but not the best) Picture in Picture True Video – CFI – smooth motion, good for sports and other non-film based content) 2 HDMI 1.4a (Blu-ray 3D compatible) inputs Excellent remote control, with good backlight and range 3D Works with 3rd party glasses Excellent value proposition BenQ W7000 Projector: Cons Below average lamp life for higher operational costs (a price, in this case, paid for all that brightness) A noisier projector than average, at full power, although typical of most DLP projectors and a few LCD and LCoS projectors Lacks second HDMI circuit to allow two HDMI sources for Split Screen, would be much better No 3D glasses included at the price BenQ 3D glasses are a bit larger and heavier than most Color wheel is 6 segment, but only 4X speed. That will have more rainbow sensitive people noticing rainbows more often than on the 5X wheels typical of more expensive DLPs, still I rarely spotted any rainbows Fini! 1.
