What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ W1070

Picture quality is great - followed the advice of others on here and turned on SmartEco mode for the lamp which seems to further improve contrast.
Very good projector. 1080p video, I have a screen of 3.5x2 meters more or less in HD.
Very bright. It is my first projector, and from all the reviews I have found online, this projector was the best, and it is!
Very nice projector - light, great image and strong light output.
Crystal clear, I have noticed no rainbow effect at all.

Optoma HD26 16:9 Full HD Projector

I have now been using this for 3 months and am happy to say this is a very good projector. 2D and 3D movies play really nicely.
Fantastic 3d. The brighter screen really works well here. I suggest watching Hugo for a great 3d film.
You can watch it during the day.No rainbow effect that I could see.
Don't worry about DLP rainbows with this. They don't exist.
The contrast is good and the black is black. It's very quiet and the color presets are handy.

What customers say about "Display"

BenQ W1070

The item itself gave a really sharp image which was really good and blew me away.
Colours are rich, image is very detailed and even projected directly onto a wall looks good. On a screen, it's a fantastic experience.
We have it projecting onto a 120" screen, easily viewable in a lit room, in a dim room it's very watchable and in a darkened room it's addictive.
Great quality. The best projector for the money. Picture is absolutely outstanding.
Fantastic projector brilliant quality picture and easy to set up.

Optoma HD26 16:9 Full HD Projector

I am very happy with it. The image quality is really good.
I've had the use of the Optoma hd26 for over a year now and picture wise it's like being at high end cinema once calibrated.
The picture is a noticeable improvement from my last projector Optoma HD230x which was and is still very good .
Was very impressed with picture and ease of adjustments with remote control.
The picture was crystal clear with clean motion and great contrast.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ W1070

The 3D performance. DLP lives up to its promise with zero artifacts or crosstalk and a beautiful image that is full of depth and stunning positive and negative parallax effects.
I projected on a white wall initially and then I bought a screen, it was great on both. The 3d is for me better than the cinema.
The 3d is like the cinema, together with my 100 inch projector screen i got a great set now!
Have used everyday. Perfect for movies and gaming.
With 3D, it is using 2 images on the screen in slightly different places and when they are viewed through 3D glasses the screen just disappears - it is beautiful!

Optoma HD26 16:9 Full HD Projector

You feel you are inside the screen, it's amazing. Make sure you get real 3D blu-rays.
Great beamer! i use it for gaming mostly and i love it!
Optoma hd26 is lite in weight about 3.5lbs so if you want hang the projector over head no worries ..it's a good first time projector to start with for anyone getting in to home cinema.
It is a good bit of kit.. the 3D works well with universal DLP glasses.
Another great plus which made me choose this particular unit is the 6500 hour lamp life compared to the average projector lamp life of 2000 hours - over three times longer!

What customers say about "Connectivity"

BenQ W1070

Giant fifa with the lads or just any ps4 game and I've used my chromecast with it for BT sport to watch footy!
Two HDMI hookups. Also has VGA, audio in/out etc.
Works very well with Mac (with mandatory overpriced adapter of course) and PC.
It has both HDMI and 15HD VGA inputs plus a whole lot more.
I use it in my man cave for movies and for xbox 360/xbox one/ps3.

Optoma HD26 16:9 Full HD Projector

In built speaker is surprisingly decent and you can even connect up computer speakers directly to the projector to jury-rig up a pseudo 5.1 speaker effect.
I have a Sony BDPS3700 Blu-ray player connected via HDMI, and I am outputting audio via the 3.5mm headphone jack to 2 powered PA speakersLyxPro PA Speakers.
I must say with the HDMI cord and it being projected onto a screen, it is pretty spectacular.
I also had this connected to a PS2 using a separate adaptor, and it's awesome being able to play my old video games again.
There are two HDMI ports - one of which is MHL compatible. This is one of the main things that attracted me to this projector.
