BenQ takes W20000 and W5000 1080p DLP projectors to UK
BenQ's W20000 and W5000 have been treating eyes right in the US for awhile now, but at long last, the kids across the pond will finally be able to snatch one of these 1080p beamers for their own. Both DLP units (DarkChip 3 in W20000, DarkChip 2 in the W5000) feature DynamicBlack technology, 20,000:1 / 10,000:1 contrast ratios, four viewing modes (Cinema, Dynamic, Standard, and Photo) and 1,200 ANSI lumens. The good news? The duo is available now throughout the UK. The rub? It'll cost you £1,399 ($2,743) / £2,499 ($4,899). %Gallery-21393%
BenQ's 1080p W20000 DLP projector gets reviewed
Just in case JVC's DLA HD100 wasn't up your alley for one reason or another, BenQ's hoping to occupy that spot you're reserving for a swank 1080p PJ with its W20000. Recently reviewed over at Trusted Reviews, this DLP beamer was mighty impressive in most respects, garnering praise for its "exceptionally vivid" colors and equally stunning sharpness. We're also told of its "very deep blacks and remarkable dynamics," and before long, we're pretty sure this one's a surefire winner. Unfortunately, a single gripe ratcheted an otherwise fantastic projector down from greatness -- speckling noise; reportedly, a "surprising amount" was noticed, particularly in scenes with shots of bright skies. All in all, the W20000 is still probably worth a look, but we'd want it set up for viewing before dropping upwards of $6,500 only to be bothered by one nagging issue for the rest of its life.[Via AboutProjectors]
