The W2700 model from Benq combines DLP technology in the Homecinema sector with 2000 ANSI lumens, a contrast of 30000:1 and a native UHD (4K2K) 3840 x 2160 resolution. The manufacturer lists the lamp life at 4000 hours. A daily usage of 2 hours makes an operational lifespan of 5.5 years possible. Both optical image shifting (lens shift) and digital keystone adjustment are included, enabling exact alignment on the screen. Accurate distances are provided by the Distance Calculator. Looking at practical performance, up to 454 cm can be illuminated with 2000 ANSI lumens in dark environments. Once daylight is in the room, the image should ideally be no wider than 303 cm. In terms of video signals, the device processes resolutions up to Full HD 1080P and 4K as well as 3D, meaning standard Blu-ray formats are processed effortlessly. Regarding noise emissions, the model proves to be exceptionally quiet during operation, producing just 30 decibels. The projector was released in 2019 and is officially no longer distributed by Benq. As an archive device, the projector remains highly relevant in our database.

I‘ve been wanting to replace my old Benq W1110, which I was very happy with, for some time. This was actually triggered by the purchase of my OLED 55C8, which got me hooked on HDR. So I had to get a new HDR projector." The previous W1700 and TK800 models from Benq had not convinced me in this respect. The halo and the poor black level were THE criteria that ruled them out. I was actually flirting with the new W5700, but unfortunately it soon became clear that it was too big for our premises. I‘ll just say women‘s acceptance factor....
I‘m absolutely thrilled with this new projector. Great black levels, good HDR, excellent contrast and brilliant colors. Of course, there‘s still room for improvement, there are scenes where black only becomes dark gray, e.g. LG Chess 4K demo in the throne room, where the projector reaches its limits. But this is also an extreme example, in normal movies the contrast is really impressive
I only use the projector in a completely darkened environment. So I have no problem using the special color filter for authentic cinema colors, even though it supposedly costs almost half the light. Even for HDR, the luminosity on a 120 screen is easily sufficient to conjure up breathtaking images on the screen. What amazed me the most was the increase in sharpness with a 4K feed. To be honest, I didn‘t expect that
In any case, I can recommend this projector to anyone who wants a very good HDR image and can‘t fit its bigger brother, the W5700, in the space available
