BenQ W1200 DLP Full HD 1080p Home Entertainment Projector

BenQ seem to have hit a nice sweet spot between price and features with their full HD home entertainment projector, the W1200.

Here are the features on BenQ’s W1200 Full HD projector

Trusted Reviews give the BenQ W1200 Full HD projector a massive 9 out of 10 rating plus a ‘Recommended badge’ with the following pros and cons

Pros - Pictures are very sharp and clean, Colours are intense but believable
Cons - Black levels could be deeper, Fan noise can distract, No vertical image shift

They were very impressed with the image that the projector chucked out and of course image quality is the most important feature on a projector. However we are a bit surprised that it scored a nine given their comment on the fan noise as that’s probably the second most important feature.

If you are keen, you can buy the BenQ W1200 over at Amazon for around $1600 at the moment.
