BenQ W100 Home Entertainment Video Projector


BenQ W100 Video Projector

BenQ W100 MSRP: $1,199

Overview

Worried your expensive large-screen TV is not impressing your guests? With the new BenQ W100 projector, it's now easy and affordable to turn your living room into a home theater or a live stadium.

The BenQ W100 projector is able to output 1300 ANSI lumens and provide a native 16:9 aspect ratio without cropping or distortion, so you can enjoy a true cinema-like viewing experience right in your home. It also supports a wide range of digital video formats, including 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080i, enabling it to work with many high-definition TV systems. It provides superb picture quality with natural motion, crisp details, and vibrant colors for the most realistic viewing experience.

The BenQ W100's front-mounted ventilation system eliminates the annoying light leakage and vented hot air that can disturb viewers behind the projector. An advanced cooling system reduces noise to a level literally that of a whisper—just 25 dB—so nothing will interrupt a great movie.

The BenQ W100's wide range of ports means you can watch video from nearly any source—a PC, DVD player, digital camcorder, game console, and HDTV set, among them. It's remote control lets you fine-tune picture quality, switch aspect ratios, and select video sources by simply pressing a button without the need to navigate on-screen menus. And a handy illumination feature lights up the buttons for easy access even in the dark.

The BenQ W100 projector is not only a top performer in its class but provides up to 4,000 hours of long lamp life (in eco-mode), making it virtually maintenance-free for years to come.
