Not so long ago we tested the BenQ W1060 projector, and found it OK but nothing special - a bit dated, to be honest. So we weren't entirely surprised when, soon after that review appeared, BenQ approached us to see if we fancied having a look at the new s...

Amazingly cheap, Good 2D and 3D picture quality, Vertical image shift...

No backlight on remote, Pictures look a touch noisy, Very limited optical zoom...

Once we'd managed to work round its setup limitations and figured out how to avoid a couple of initial picture niggles, we were left with pictures from the BenQ W1070 that comfortably surpassed our expectations, making it just the latest entry on a freaki...

Anyone who sees rainbow artifacts easily, or worries that someone else may be bothered by them, is well advised to stay away from the BenQ W1070 and focus on LCD projectors. If the rainbow effect isn't an issue for you, however, the BenQ W1070 has a lot...

A low-priced projector capable of high-quality 1080p HD film playback, the BenQ W1070 can be a useful living-room addition. It cuts a dapper figure in its polished white casing, although it's not especially light at 2.65kg. See Digital Home Advisor. Its...

With images better suited to home cinema than PC output, the BenQ W1070 is a very well priced model that looks great and works well. You'll need to spend some time grappling with its controls, and we'd recommend using SmartEco on a regular basis. For thos...

These days, if you're looking for a quality projector on a budget, BenQ is usually a sure bet. Its £1000 W1200 projector grabbed itself a 2012 Award, and the even more budget W1060 was a great four-star option at £700. The successor to the 1060, and newe...

Clear, bright images, Compact, Good contrast levels with deep blacks and punchy whites...

Takes time to set up, lacks subtlety with dark scenes, Motion could be better, 3D glasses extra...

Compared with some of its previous efforts, BenQ doesn't quite hit the mark with the W1070; it's an enthusiastic and glossy picture, but the W1070 is outperformed by some price rivals. See all projector Best Buys Follow whathifi.com on Twitter0 Join...

The BenQ W1070 wears its chief attraction right out there on its price tag. For despite being a 3D-capable projector claiming decent-looking contrast ratio and brightness figures of 10,000:1 and 2,000 ANSI Lumens respectively, it costs a penny under £700...

Exceptional value, strong out of the box picture performance, ISF certified...

Pictures are a touch noisy, dark 3D scenes lack a little depth, no 3D glasses included for free...

When I was a kid, we had a 14-inch color TV that we'd all crowd around to watch programs on. In this day and age, there are probably some tablets that have bigger screens than that. Not to mention, the traditional TV has morphed into something sleeker, th...

For what you're paying for, the BenQ W1070 is a satisfactory 3D projector suitable for most homes. While there are surely more superior models on the market that can give you a slightly better image quality, it would be doubtful to find one that matches...
