Hot on the heels of the BenQ W10000 projector that was finally released this month, BenQ announced yet another 1080p DLP projector. The BenQ W9000 looks to be the “lite” version of the W10000, probably in attempt to make a more affordable 1080p DLP projector. However, there is one interesting thing to note about the W9000: there is a 2.35:1 Panamorph lens available for it, allowing for the home cinema enthusiast to enjoy true widescreen cinemascope projection. Other than a few custom calibration features and the Advanced Continuous Electronic IRIS which produces a contrast of 8500:1, details are pretty slim. Still, a more affordable 1080p DLP projector with inexpensive 2.35:1 capabilities would definitely be a welcome sight. Careful when we say inexpensive 2.35 though - most panamorph lenses still run about $2,500.
