According to this reviewer, the BenQ W5000 DLP Projector is no slacker when it comes to bringing quality to the home theater. BenQ is one of the leaders in home DLP projectors and reveres the W20000 as their flagship product; for many years they have brought superior image quality to the visual display market. As summarized in the review, the issue with the W20000 is the price tag and for this reason the W5000 should be considered the primary BenQ product. Both projectors share many of the same qualities, so it’s wise to weight the pros and cons accordingly before purchasing one or the other. There are various upsides to purchasing the W5000; above all would be the Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) processing capabilities that permit enhanced scaling. In addition to this, the reviewer states, “the latest Texas Instrument Brilliant Color technology which promises bright-yet-saturated hues to go hand-in-hand with its extended 1.07 billion-color gamut.” Adding to its brilliant features, the Imaging Science Foundation has certified the calibration controls.

Since it’s always nice to weight the pros and cons of any projection device offered, we should look at the various negative aspects; and to begin with the projector zoom, which is 1.2x can be a major setback for utilizing larger screens. In addition to this, the reviewer states “You will need at least a 4m screen-to-lens depth or throw distance to comfortably cast a 100-inch projection.” From the previous HD80, there has been no improved contrast, and various other constraints. In summary, this projector is a capable and reliable full-HD DLP projector with various features that are sure to make your home theater ideal. The BenQ W5000 has a list price of around $3,946.
