Cinematic Calibre

BenQ unveils the CineHome Projector W1700 - a sleek Home Cinema and colour accuracy expected of movie theatres.

To connoisseurs of film, there is no satisfying substitute for the cinema - the image precision and colour accuracy of the silver screen simply cannot be matched by the kind of televisions most of us keep in our living rooms, and those of us who have retired our televisions in favour of a projector often find ourselves appalled at the low resolution projections or the high cost of burnt-out bulbs. Unlike analog projectors, the digital light processing (DLP) design of the W1700 makes it less prone to developing permanent visual artifacts or burning out, as its bulb is rated for at least 4,000 hours of operation.
