wow, thanks a lot randommagic, looking forward for a w1070!

Yeah, we would appreciate that. Though a proper way to test input lag would be against a CRT monitor.

HI guys.
Here is review from china. Seems like it's really 6 segments RGBRGB with 6x speed color wheel. Great

Do you have web link?

oops... here it is
http://www.pconline.com.cn/projector/review/1211/3060242.html:

It is worth upgrade from a Optoma HD3300? Basically because of the DC3 chip and more contrast and the lens shift?

That chinese review says it comes with 3 pairs of glasses. Is that true in North America too?

from the chinese review it seem the only problem the W1070 have is very small menu and fan noise from the projector is a bit noisy which to me seem like a small issue and yes the chinese review mention it comes with 3 pair of 3d glasses which is a steal to me and anyone who want to buy their first projector it seem benq W1070 is the best choice at the moment with it cheap price and great performance.

Chinese market sells W1070 since early november, and yes, it comes with 3 pair of 3D glasses. BUT its price - 9900 CNY (almost 1600 USD).
I prefer 800 Euros with no glasses

Any word on when the short throw version (W1080ST) is coming out??

It's now 999.99$ on NCIX until 11/30/2012.

I'm really wondering if I should buy this one. My screen will be in the basement in a light controlled room and it will be between 100'' and 110'' diagonal.

I'm having a hard time to decide between this one and the Epson 3020 since the Benq doesn't have many reviews. But now with a difference of 500$ CDN between the two, it's hard to wait!!


Help me decide!!

They also have it on their US site but for 1090 with glasses.

But backordered and very little else for info.

When will this be available to the masses in the good old USA ?

MSRP is 1000CDN so don't feel pressured to buy ASAP. Price won't go up.

Does anyone know how this would compare to the Acer 9500?

It's interesting for me too. I guess Kraine could answer your question, he tested both W1070 and H9500BD.
You can check his reviews here:

Yea.. Kraine, tell us more about this in your professional perspective... would love to hear that from u!

849$ this morning at NCIX canada!!!

Ugg, can't get it here in the U.S.

I put through an order on the Canadian site with a US address and US UPS shipping as an option and so far it was accepted. I used PayPal to pay. We'll see.

Thanks, I went that route too. I added the special insurance just in case. Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to figure out whether or not they will acceptt he order.

guys, what site you placed your order of this projector? Also planning to get this one too..

NCIX
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=77677

I've placed an order a few minutes ago. Remember that if you pay with paypal you get 5% cashback (once you've made 1 purchase with paypal). My only remorse is that I'm not sure if I should have waited for the HD33 to go back on sale at costco (1250 CDN, including shipping and 2 x pairs of glasses)

Not sure if I should pull the trigger on this unit or go with the Epson 8350 (or even the 8500ub or 8700ub refurbs). The thing holding me back is the noise level on this thing and if I will see rainbows. Is this thing a real 6x color wheel (with 6 segments)?

I just pre-ordered it on NCIX. Hope it will be a good choice because there's no coming back!! lol

Me three!

Thanks for the tips to order it via Paypal. I didn't pay for the extra long warranty, I'm okay with waiting for it in case I ever need to RMA it. I know, projectors...but. Anyway. It was an impulse buy. At that price I couldn't say no. Esp since NCIX / Paypal won't even charge my CC until 21 days after it's delivered. It was a little tight as I only ever buy stuff cash (my CC is actually a bank card...no buying stuff on credit for me!). I pay the iron price.

Looking forward to setting this up! After reading about the nasty ghosting of the expensive Sony at 60hz at 1080p, I figure I may as well skip worrying about a cheap projector for under a grand, and just enjoy 24hz/1080p or use 60hz/720p. The Sony for three grand ghosts like crazy apparently even at 720p / 60, meaning there is literally no point in paying / waiting for a better projector than this one. I feel lucky that I'll be okay, and got the 30 day free RMA shipping option in case it's busted during shipping or arrives with defects.
