Is the W1350 lens really made of glass and not plastic like the 1070 and 1070+?
From brochure: All-Glass, Low-Dispersion Coated Lens
Featuring BenQ’s very own Full HD-optimized optical system, the W1350 ensures the best color performance, clarity and sharpness in every Full HD image. With all twelve of its projection lenses made of all glass material, the projector outperforms others with greater light penetration, preserving the truest image details for the most optimal viewing quality. What’s more, a special low dispersion coating technology is applied to the lenses to minimize chromatic aberration or color fringes, a visual catastrophe manifested by unmatched sharpness and color saturation. As a result, the fullest and most vivid colors are delivered with superior sharpness to please your eyes.

During my review about the previous model (the W1300) I was able to discover a very good Lens. You can see here that there is no chromatic aberration :
Any idea if this model will see wider availability than the previous version?
Am I reading that right?! Native contrast measures 3866:1, as in without using the dynamic lamp?
That would put this roughly on-par with the $2000+ ae8000, 5030/5025, and hw40!
That contrast figure is for the previous model (W1300) rather than this one (review isn't up for this one yet). That is indeed high, though.
I also hope this sees wider release than its predecessor (which seemed limited to Europe).
The throw may very well suit rooms that the W1070/HT1075 doesn't... And the fact that the lens is all-glass as well is a bonus (and uncommon at this price-point...)
I really hope there is a North American release! Plastic lenses usually means heat-related focus drift right? Also, my previous projector, a Benq W5000, just died after 7 years and I would like to have a similar throw projector to replace it that doesn't cost too much.
From their European site:
" With the hardware Lens Shift feature, this home projector can correct the position of the projected image by shifting it vertically by 120% to 148% – without sacrificing the image quality!"
The only thing going for the new as i can see its much brighter, and I will be having this in the living/family room.Saying this projector usually used at night after work.
Hi everyone. Just bought the Benq 1350 and wondering if anyone here could help -
I read about the rainbow effect issue some people have with dlps, but that the effect should be minimal with a six speed colour wheel -which is why I got the 1350.
This is the first dlp I've seen and the rainbow effect is very distracting to me. I've looked at a few different types of film and im seeing them everywhere.
Even the more expensive dlp s only seem to go up to six speed, so I'm wondering if there's any point in me replacing the 1350 with a higher spec dlp (up to about ?1500) ? Or am i likely to experience rainbows on any dlp? Cheers!
