Easy Setup, Supports multiple forms of 3D, Good Color Reproduction in 2D/3D
Produces a lot of hot air, Wish there were more connectivity options
TheBenQ W1080ST is indeed a value for money projector. It works exceptionally well with 2D content and average with 3D, if that doesn't turn you off then this is it! If this projector fits in your budget, we recommend you to go or it.Mark SheetDesign & Bu...

REMOTE CONTROLThis remote might not be the prettiest looking controller we've set eyes on but it does its job relatively well. It is on the smaller and slimmer side, so misplacing it easily can't be ruled out. Buttons protrude too much from the surface bu...

Good brightness even with 3D images, Works well in rooms with limited light control, Good sharp images with decent motion handling, Good video processing, Good 3D performance, Good value for money for those with a small space to work in
Mediocre black levels, No shadow detail in lower reaches of the image, No lens shift, Noisy even in low lamp settings
If you have a normal room with the length to use a regular projector - then stick with that route, the W1080ST+ is not for you.However, if you are lacking the space and ability to get a normal projector far enough back for a large image, this is one produ...
BenQ's no stranger to making projectors, as we came away impressed with its compact and similarly shortthrow GP10, but it was limited in resolution and speed. The W1080ST takes the short range of its smaller sibling, but you're treated to a full 1080p res
While the W1080ST excels at its main priority, BenQ has also stuffed in a 10W speaker to try and offer you the compete cinema package. The speaker is simply terrible, though, giving hardly any clarity and tinny sound that is best avoided. The projector do
BenQ has crafted a versatile, flexible projector that's capable of beaming almost anything you can hook up at a short range, and at a high quality too. If you get excited for movie nights at home, the W1080ST could be the perfect addition to watching your...

Incredible throw ratio makes for a room-filling projection, Much improved performance in dark scenes compared to W1060, Good selection of ports and logical OSD make for easy setup
No 3D glasses included in the box, Noisy fan during operations noticeable at low volume levels, HDTVs are still superior for darker scenes, Score, 10/10
I expected a lot from the W1080ST, and the projector delivered in spades. The new short throw ratio makes the projector usable in much tighter spaces than before, and the image quality remains high. In fact, the tricky part for any projector – black level...

The BenQ W1080ST DLP projector offers a very good image for the price with relatively deep blacks and faithful color; short throw allows placement close to the screen, on a coffee table for example; onboard speaker; decent 3D performance
Limited setup options with no manual lens shift; old 3D system; no 3D glasses in package and cost $99 extra
The BenQ W1080ST short-throw DLP projector offers very good performance and extra placement flexibility, but the long-throw W1070 is a better deal....
