This BenQ mid-ranger is OK with 2D, but its 3D is just plain weird. Find out why...
Excellent motion handling, Good colour performance, Decent wireless video system
Black level response could be better, Rather limited zoom and vertical image shift, Weird 3D

This BenQ projector has the bonus of wireless connectivity, but is the picture up to scratch?
Clear picture ; Realistic colours ; Decent contrast ; Wireless connectivity ; Compact, portable unit ; Good remote ; Easy set-up
Class leaders are punchier and more insightful
A competitive, well-featured product that’s definitely worth considering

Mediocre blacks ; Lens controls limited ; Rainbow artefacts

Wireless HDMI included ; Vertical lens shift ; Short throw for big image at short distance ; Flexible placement ; Excellent brightness
Loss of shadow detail ; Set up of wireless HDMI is a hassle ; Some rainbow effect for sensitive viewers
At the end of the day, we tend to prefer Epson’s Powerlite Cinema 3020e projector, even if it is a good $600 more expensive. With that said, the BenQ W1500 is an great projector in its own right, and its included wireless HDMI connectivity, once set...

Review: The BenQ W1500 wireless DLP projector can be had for less than $1600 and it comes with WHDI built right in, and an HDMI dongle that lets you send video wirelessly from any HDMI output.
