The brightness limitation means the BenQ isn’t the best projector for use in brighter rooms. It is usable with some ambient light but it’s undoubtedly at its best in a darkened room. But there’s more to picture quality than brightness, as I’ll get to in a minute. 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. Easy Upgrade to 4K Wonders Stunning 4K UHD 3840x2160 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. 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.
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.) If you’re mad about movies, you’ll love Filmmaker Mode on this BenQ projector. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended. 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. 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.True colors awaken feelings of sorrow, joy, romance and thrills by preserving the original image. BenQ home cinema projectors embody our belief to convey the truest color and impart the deepest emotions to the viewer. Led by our THX and ISF dual-certified engineers, the BenQ CinematicColor™ technology team delivers full Rec. 709 HDTV-standard coverage for perfect color consistency. See the Wonders of CinematicColor™ 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. 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 All this, for our money, makes the W1800’s HDR images more consistent, even handed and therefore immersive than gaudier, brasher approaches. Don’t forget that HDR movie sources automatically trigger the projector to go into its Filmmaker Mode, which has been carefully designed, essentially by committee, to deliver a natural, even look that's intended to draw you into whatever you’re watching rather than drawing attention to any ‘showy’ qualities the projector might want to exhibit.
W1800 maximizes available space with a range of throw distances, enabling 4K big-screen entertainment in tight quarters.As noted earlier, the W1800 supports an optional extra Android TV dongle if you want it to go ‘smart’, and finally lamp life is claimed at an impressively long 15,000 hours. This will greatly reduce, though, if you watch a lot of HDR. It’s compact and well made, flexible and image quality is simply magnificent. It even works well with HDR, which is a feat for any projector. 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. BenQ’s decision to focus with the W1800 on what we guess could be considered good old-fashioned home cinema values has paid off handsomely. Its pictures might not be the showiest around, but they’re refined, natural, authentic and, to use that word again, cinematic.
