We've all brought home a projector from the office and been thoroughly disappointed with the results. And while dedicated home cinema projectors offer widescreen high-definition and the contrast and smoothness movies demand, on first impression the W1...

Benq's W1000 is a compact and quiet DLP projector with an attractively understated design and a 1080p resolution. It has composite, component, S-video and two HDMI inputs. Its slim white chassis won't take over a room, whether you ceiling mount it or p...

Not too long ago, investing in a DLP projector was just that: an investment. Or rather, a way of flushing serious money down the toilet of impending obsolescence. Still, it's all you folks who forked out $10,000 for a first generation projector who...

The BenQ W1000 is an entry-level 1080p home theatre projector with a high quality lens that allows it to display plenty of image detail. It struggles when it comes to displaying especially dark or bright areas of the screen though; its 3000:1 contrast ratio is insufficient for getting the most out of demanding movies like The Dark Knight.The BenQ W1000 is easy to set up. A telescoping leg at the front and a rear screw-style leg let you to alter the height and angle of the projector, respecti...

If you'd previously been put off buying a projector by the size of the chassis, inconvenience of the set-up or the simple matter of the price tag, BenQ is hoping to change your mind with the W1000. This is a relatively compact, portable and indeed affo...
