Hands-on Review: BenQ W5000 projector

The BenQ W5000 projector priced at £1470 seems a little high, but does the good weigh out the bad? The image quality is superb and is more than bright enough to work in most rooms plus with the multiple of connections on this projector all seems very good indeed, on the bad side of this it does lack in the way of zooming and only has HDMI 1.2, and with no horizontal shift makes you wonder if this is a projector you should choose.

Personally the good weighs out the bad making the BenQ W5000 projector a perfect choice for your home. Some of the main specs on this projector include high-def 1080p HD, 492 x 180 x 420mm, weighs 9.6kg, 2-8m range giving a 40-300-inch image, HDMI inputs, S-Video and Composite inputs, RGB HV source, five BNC jacks, Component video input and 1200 lumens.

Now being a lead audio and visual engineer fitting this type of project is pretty easy to the ceiling, obviously you would have to by the correct mounting plates and of course the right fixings dependant on the ceilings material being it plasterboard, concrete or wooden beams etc.

Personally the BenQ W5000 projector is not one I would choose, but everyone has their own opinion. Anyway please read the full hands-on review over on pocket-lint.
