Entry level projector of the top class !!!

For me it was really a crazy idea which led to the purchase of the BenQ W770ST. I thought it would be rather nice if you even can throw fast times on the wall films of Prime Instant Video are otherwise look to the computer monitor or streamed over Apple TV on TV. And on top of that could be him some day a video game in "large" enjoy. I had only been in the projection area dusty "superficial knowledge" from the 600x800 times and stood across the counter also very skeptical. So now I did not want to spend equal 1,500 for professional equipment, and certainly not because I want to just project them mobile. Say, view a presentation in the office and quickly gamble a movie or a game in the living room times. I would also like the unit at events such. B. may birthdays, weddings take to present a slide show or a small hand-rolled film in the circle decently can, so that everyone sees something. A middle class device with decent performance should suffice actually. Especially because I only times "try" want ;-)

Well, DLP or LED? Certainly, when the LED projectors enftällt relamping, for these are also very faint. In my opinion, this technology is not yet mature for the home theater. Although the DLP projectors need a lamp replacement, but according to my calculations would be incurred after 6,000 hours at me only in 4 years - Replacement Lamp Price 150, - I can live with. It should therefore be a DLP projector.

After a short Rechere me jumped the taboo word "projector" on Amazon, the Acer device's eyes, provided with a bestseller Note. However, it has been reported in many recessions of dust problems, that was not me feel uneasy. 400, - are ultimately money. So the search continues. And after a short time I was at the BenQ projectors. Hmmm, there are 2 models - normal and short distance, interesting and difficult to equal, because the additional price of 100, - was not without. My office is really very small, the living room of normal size with about 5 meters. I deepened my knowledge by Google and thought I'd take a precaution only times the short-throw version, because the benefits sound very good.

One can move games (Kinect, Move, etc.) use, it does not rely on large spaces, the projector is close to the screen instead of "in the people". In addition, you have to hang the projector from the ceiling, so it saves the fan noise over your head Yes, I think that I have a go. Returning would be in a bad buy no problem.

The data and the recessions also spoke a very clear language. Thus ordered. And now I'm using the device for 2 weeks and I must say the impact has hit me!

The projector is very easy to connect fast and automatic source detection is working properly. In the menu, you find yourself immediately without manual handle. But I had to actually make little adjustments. Front set at the lens on the front bezel with Nüppel sharpness, optical zoom using the rotary ring in focus right above it and voila! a super brilliant picture shines on the white wall.

The picture is very pleasant, the colors literally jump off the wall, the image sharpness is terrific and the size of breathtaking. The device is off about 1 meter from the wall and I have a 1.60 m large screen in the room. I try videos and games, and that is really fun and can also be ansehen.Ich want everything very pleasant more. Say, 1 tripod screen with 1.60m for study and a pull-down screen 2.50m for the living room, hanging from the ceiling.

A 16: 9 screen, I would not recommend because they are too inflexible and the projected formats too different. With the normal screens are very flexible and is namely thanks to stepless adjustment can be set here any required format. I have nevertheless taken the "low" screens, because I as I said, first wants to try.

The big screen is the most fun. The projector is in front on a stand with 80cm height at a distance of 1,60-1,70m and fills the entire length of 2.50 meters from. The image is gigantic. And the quality of Benq W770ST is perfectly even at this giant image. Although he works "only" 720p, but that does not you realize actually. My friends were on the image quality is also all excited and self-critical relatives have not noticed that the projected projector with 720p instead of 1080p.

Meanwhile, I have also 2 pieces. Ordered Blue Heaven 3-D glasses and even here the projector plays its strength from. Just terrific. The picture is bright, the effects depending on the film overwhelming and the objects in the room are then close enough to touch. The depth comes very well to light, almost as if you stand even with the room. The glasses work perfectly, have a stable sync to BenQ, is seen no matter from which angle. Again, an interim recommendation on the shutter glasses from me.

From the initial "fast times which cast on the wall", is thanks to the BenQ W770ST a home theater with top quality emerged. The machine impressed me hard. For this price, the service is simply outstanding!

The fan noise is a bit loud (noise) than expected, however, since I have the short-throw version, not disturbing, since the projector so the front is on the canvas.

I need this tip device still deduct 1 star because unfortunately "lens shift" is missing, thus it is always tricky to align a bit the image on the canvas. However, I want to emphasize that this is to get over due to the equipment price.

In the various Lampenmodis I notice no difference at the picture, that's why I use here also the highest ECO mode. Image brightness is with me on "60", Contrast "80" - I think that's good averages. The black level of the device is as previously reported several times, really great. Man does not realize where the black of the projector to the screen ends. Really great.

The device can be used on the day readily incidentally also, however, a slight darkening is recommended. He is light strong enough for.

The BenQ W770ST processed incidentally also 3D signals are passed via Airplay him such. As the iPad to Apple TV, and from there via HDMI cable to the projector. The automatic detection such. B. HOU or SBS will also work very well and just needs to be confirmed.

You just have to be careful that the projector Side-by-Side (SBS) content can only process when the source is set to 720p. HOU (half above / below) always works, here you can leave the set in 1080p source. Who is streaming from the notebook via HDMI must not worry about it, everything is automatically recognized, at least on my MacBook Pro with Mac OSX.

The delivery is also located an original BenQ carrying case, the remote control is illuminated and all important functions are accessible with a key (eg. B.TEST, Aspect).

I can really recommend this projector to anyone who wants device still want to use mobile and flexible locations for an entry / Mitteklasse- interested and. A clear and colorful screen and home theater atmosphere with super 3D depth effect you is safe with this product.

Look at my two customers product images for BenQ W770ST, then you get a nice impression of my "construction" and "short-distance". The surcharge for short-distance version is really worth it and in my opinion, highly recommended. Already alone that my visitors can go to the bathroom during the movie without disturbing the image by shadow ;-)
