Very good test bench performance (in Cinema mode), Long lamp life (3,500 hours in Standard lamp mode, 5,000 hours in Economic mode), Excellent 2D as well as 3D performance, Glitch-free wireless HDMI
Limited vertical lens shift range, Many remote control button labels are hard to discern, Some noticeable off-axis light leakage
Compared to BenQ's entry level 1080p 3D DLP projector (the W1070, which goes for $899 at the BenQ US web store and on Amazon), the W1500 provides two upgrades. The wireless HDMI is obviously the key differentiator, and will appeal to those that don't ...
Abstract: It's been an interesting ride for video manufacturers the past few years, but 2014 things look to be heading in an upward direction. Mirroring some of the trends in the audio market, value reigns supreme with homeowners cautiously spending on upgrades. Th...
Abstract: Wireless projectors have been out for a while, but they haven't been quite this accessible—and they certainly haven't been aimed square at the affordable home theater market. This W1500 wireless DLP projector from BenQ can be had for less than $1600 and i...

Works directly with HDMI 1.4a devices like Blu-ray players for full 1080p 3D. Wireless HD connection.
Shows rainbow artifacts, although much less often than with many DLP projectors. Hard to focus eyes with some 3D scenes
The BenQ W1500 3D home entertainment projector is bright enough to stand up to moderate ambient light and offers acceptable, if not particularly impressive, video quality....
Abstract: Two of the hottest 1080p home theater projectors on the market today are made by BenQ . Their entry-level W1070 sells for less than $1,000, while the W1500 has more advanced capabilities and convenience features and sells for around $1,599. The two models...
Abstract: At $1599, the W1500 is not as inexpensive as some other DLP video projectors released this year, but the W1500 includes features not found on those projectors as well as an incrementally more refined picture better suited to home theater, not home vide...

La HD sans fil, La compatibilité 3D et la paire de lunettes livrée, La luminosité élevée, La longévité de la lampe en mode Eco
Le bruit de la ventilation en mode normal, Pas de lens shift horizontal
Le constat est globalement très positif pour ce BenQ W1500. Dès lors, même si le marché comporte désormais beaucoup d'appareils à moins de 1000 euros - comme l'atteste d'ailleurs notre dossier sur les 10 vidéoprojecteurs à moins de 1000 euros pour la Coup...
