Wouldn't touch a BenQ projector with a 10 foot pole. Unless I was going to be using the pole to smashing the projector like a Piñata. Bought several where I work and they all have issues. True the model number we bought was different than the one Woot is selling. After all the calls and emails not returned from the BenQ service department I wouldn't ever purchase anything from them again. Maybe you'll get lucky and these will all be fine. As long as you don't have any reason to call the service department you should be fine.

This is an awesome projector. That is the best contrast you can get on a 720p projector. 3d vision ready. Cant wait till it comes =D. Benq has never been a problem for me. only had one projector from them but it ran fine for 3 years before I sold it for a newer panasonic

My two cents--this is decent. On a clear surface, it's not the best (though the contrast comment is spot on, FOR THE PRICE RANGE). However, on a non-screen surface, like the white painted side of a building, this is pretty great. We used one to show a movie on the side of our office building (white painted cinder wall) and it looked pretty great with a little bit of angle/focus tweaking...

I bought a BenQ a few years ago, the deal came with a free extra bulb. A year after, when i needed to replace the bulb, my free bulb did not fit. BenQ service would not exchange the free bulb for the correct one. Worst company I have ever delt with. Never Again!!

From the thumbnail, I thought that sellout was selling a putter with a video cam sweet spot, so that you could watch the golf ball after the putt ... sigh. That woulda been cool ...

I bought one a month ago price was $550 then. I've got no complaints - replaced my old Sony 1031Q. Nice and quiet in econ mode which is plenty bright on a glass bead screen. Hooked up a blueray with netlix that only goes to 720p anyway.

WARNING THIS WON"T PLAY 3D MOVIES FROM A BLU-RAY/PS3!!!!!!

This projector only supports NVIDIA 3D vision for PC titles

AFAIK, all 3D for home media (blu-ray and PS3 games) require HDMI 1.4 to transmit 3D

Although this has best contrast for a mid-range projector, it is still only a 720P projector.

@rhettrushton: dude, 1.4 has nothing to do with 3D. I have several HDMI 1.3 cables that work well for 3D. 1.4 is to extend your network through HDMI rather than having to plug in all of your devices through ethernet (just one can act as the network hub). Obviously this projector wouldn't need a network connection thus does not require 1.4.

FYI, a 1.4 cable would work just fine on this projector.

does the 3D work on this or what? I have a Sony 3D Blu-ray player and just want to see 3D. I have active shutter glasses as well. Thanks in advance, LP

It's not the cables (i understand the standard) its the 3d standard. I may have been cross-talking there.

supporting NVIDIA vs home multimedia/active shutter, vs FPR is a different issue.

PS3 for sure will not output 3D unless the firmware is upgraded to the 1.4 std.

from what I understand, this projector only supports NVIDIA 3D which is PC only.

If you want 3d on this take a look at optima's 3D-XL. It converts 1.4 hdmi signals to a dlp link signal that this projector supports

Has anyone ever figured out how to watch 3D movies through these 3D Projectors? It seems like they all only support nVidia solution, and that doesn't seem to do anything other then games.

@maxsmoke777 see hargabyte's comment above. I had no idea this existed.

GREAT FIND HARGABYTE!!!! for me' i'll wait until it's built in to the projectors (and I have a dedicated theater room) to get one... Until then I'll enjoy my LG 55LW5600 that I got a screaming deal for right before the superbowl. Me and my kids love it! I highly recommend it.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
