First impressions of the W1200, BenQ’s latest home cinema projector, are good; it’s compact, quiet and stylish. The glossy white and silver plastic chassis is easy on the eye and the projector is small enough to fit on a shelf. Like most projectors ava...

There's no match for a blockbuster movie on a big screen, and startlingly high performance can now be had even with entry level models. BenQ's DLP-based W1200 steps up to the plate with a stack of decent features, which makes it an aggressive contender...

What we have for review today is one of those products which comes along once in a while that defies all logic given its price point. The BenQ W1200 is a projector clearly classed as an entry level product and the build quality also points to this being t...
