Der BenQ W1080ST ist ein ausgereifter und heller Projektor, um in kleinen Räumen große Bilder zu projizieren. Er ist ideal für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene geeignet. Die Aufstellung gelingt mühelos mit wenigen Handgriffen. Im Wohnzimmer mit Restlicht und...
Abstract: BenQ have always made excellent projectors and with the W1080ST they have brought in a new age where you can buy a Full HD projector with good colour and true 3D capability but with a handy short throw lens!They haven't skimped to keep the price down; the...

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....
Good overall performance; Brilliant value for money; Great 3D; Short throw lens can be very useful in many environments;
Limited zoom range means careful placement a must;
With a little care in placement, the BenQ W1080ST home theatre projector delivers a very good home theatre experience, and is especially suited to those who don’t want to permanently install it, but just enjoy a big picture from time to time.

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...

Shortthrow lens: 2.16metrewide image from 1.5 metres away, No crosstalk (overlapping 2D images) in 3D mode, Faithful colours in Standard mode, Higherthanaverage contrast ratio (1,360:1 measured on our 1% white test card), Very little rainbow effect, Low i
Fan noise, Small remote control without backlighting, No lens shift, No motion interpolation
The W1080ST has all the same advantages as the W1070 (faithful colours, high contrast, flawless 3D...) and adds a short-throw lens that allows it to project an over two-metre-wide image from just 1.5 metres away. In other words, another home run from BenQ...
