Stunning 4K UHD 3840×2160 resolution is four times the pixel count of 1080p Full HD. With 8.3 million distinct pixels for each frame, W1800 minimizes blur and displays crisp, clear video. Additionally, the new generation 0.47” single-DMD DLP technology showcases sleek, modern design to complement your viewing space. Filmmaker Mode preserves motion cadence, cinematic color, dynamic range, and brightness that directors intended for the big screen. BenQ 4K home projectors support the filmmakers’ desire for home viewers to relive majestic scenes and tender moments the way they were meant to be seen. Factory Calibrated Out-of-the-Box Color Accuracy Switch to standard dynamic range (SDR) content and the BenQ W2700 continues to impress, although it does fall behind the Optoma slightly here in terms of peak brightness and range of colour. My preferred picture mode here is the W2700’s Cinema mode, which provides the best combination of brightness and depth of colour.

Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 27th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) For optimal colour, the W1800 features BenQ’s CinematicColor technology. This tech 100% meets the Rec. 709 HDTV standard for colour accuracy, giving you realistic colour with true-to-life texture and depth. The RGBRGB colour wheel and high contrast deliver crisp images and help maximise the full potential of 4K resolution. Rivals have the W1800 beaten when it comes to HDR, brightness and contrast, then, but you’ll struggle to find another 4K projector at this price that delivers a more natural, cinematic image.

Overall, picture quality is stunning considering the price and the BenQ W2700 is a projector you have to look pretty hard at to find any kind of fault with.The brand's latest affordable 4K HDR beamer is out to show John Archer exactly what the director intended This BenQ includes support for HDR10 and HLG. HDR10 is widely used on UHD gaming consoles from Sony and Microsoft. HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma HDR) is a broadcast and user generated standard format that is seen as the standard for transmitting 4K signals. The second is that the high brightness levels make the TK700 usable in daytime. Sure, you lose some contrast, making it hard to make much out in the murkier dungeons of Elden Ring, but otherwise all is fine. What’s more, the projector is still usable in the Smart Eco setting, which doubles the Normal lamp life of 4,000 hours without reducing the brightness levels to a daft extent. This is crucial, as it means that you don’t feel like you’ve suddenly had your connection with what you’re watching broken every time a film shifts from a bright scene to a dark one. Such consistency is massively important for any projector that’s serious about home cinema. The W1800’s excellent colour and light control plays its part, too, in making pictures exceptionally sharp and detailed for such an affordable projector. In fact, its pictures really do look like 4K, as billed. Certainly denser, more nuanced and, as a result, more three-dimensional than you would see with a regular 1080p DLP projector. This really matters, of course, when you’re talking about images as massive as those the W1800 can provide.

The W1800 also seems to take great care about the way it maps HDR sources to its inherent capabilities. There’s precious little clipping of detail in bright peaks, for instance, and colours look authentic rather than strained (even when it comes to notoriously difficult skin tones). The projector also sensibly uses HDR’s expanded light range more to deliver subtler light differences than to push the extremes. Setup is aided by a decent 1.3x zoom and flexible 2D keystone adjustment. There's no optical image shifting, but this is never a given with 4K projectors as affordable as this. It’s the colours that swing it for the W1800, though. Not only did this projector slightly exceed Rec.709 in testing but colour accuracy is fantastic by projector standards, with an average Delta E of 2.89. Its only serious rival here is the Viewsonic X10-4K and that’s slightly more expensive.Two other things surprised me. One is that the TK700 has onboard sound and that it’s actually sound worth using. There’s no stereo separation, which is going to be an issue in many action games, but there’s plenty of volume and what’s there sounds decent, with a strong low end and respectable detail. I happily played Destiny 2 and Elden Ring without plugging in headphones or a soundbar and had disgruntled family members demanding that I turn the volume down. Delta E quantifies the difference between a reference color and the projector’s actual color based on L*a*b* coordinates to represent "a difference in sensation." Delta E<3 performance means virtually no perceptible color difference to the human eye. (Delta E<3 performance enabled in D. Cinema modes.) True 4K HDR for Grand Cinema Experiences True 4K 8.3 Million Pixel Perfection The sharpness remains strikingly high during camera pans and over moving objects, too. Judder without motion processing in play doesn’t look excessive – in fact, if anything it feels natural enough to simply add to the W1800’s key cinematic feel. Nor is there much trouble from the sort of fizzing and double edging around the edges of moving objects that affordable DLP projectors often struggle with. While other HDR projectors can lose details and display incorrect greyscales, BenQ features cinema-optimized HDR technology to perfectly balance color saturation and rich color scale, preserving dark details in total clarity. Supercharged by HDR10 and HLG support with BenQ exclusive projector-optimized HDR, W1800’s high dynamic range performance offers greater brightness, contrast range, and image optimization in a single step, bringing out every detail in 4K video content for superior cinema enjoyment.

With support for HDR10 and HLG and, rather unusually, the ability to reproduce the DCI-P3 colour gamut (95% according to the manufacturer’s claims), the BenQ W2700 brings technologies traditionally only available in projectors costing many thousands of pounds to a much more affordable level. For reference, most projectors at this sort of price can only do Rec.709, which is roughly equivalent to sRGB. Supercharged by HDR10 and HLG support with BenQ exclusive projector-optimized HDR, W1800’s high dynamic range performance offers greater brightness, contrast range, and image optimization in a single step, bringing out every detail in 4K video content for superior cinema enjoyment.

Picture Rotation for Placement VersatilityThe single most striking strength of the W1800 is its colour performance. Whether you’re watching in one of the movie-friendly standard dynamic range picture presets or the Filmmaker Mode with HDR, colour tones across the board look beautifully natural, richly nuanced and remarkably well balanced for such an affordable projector.
