The unit supports 1080p Full-HD image projection up to 100 inches, aiming to “deliver realistic colours and sharp cinematic images”.

W1050

It has three dedicated picture modes: Sport Mode, Vivid TV Mode and Cinema Mode, each calibrated in terms of brightness, contrast and colour.

Combined with a new simplified user interface design, BenQ says it promises to be quick and easy to set up.

BenQ highlights that the W1050 features 3D Wireless FHD and BenQ’s own CinematicColor technology for colour accuracy. It also conforms to Rec.709 international HDTV standards, notes the company.

It is priced at around £550 (it has a RRP of €629).

The company writes:

Requiring as little as three metres to project stunning 100-inch images, the W1050 also offers vertical keystone correction, for a professionally squared look without any trapezoid effects, making it simple to project ideally aligned images regardless of projector placement locations.

The W1050 is equipped with BenQ’s pioneering SmartEco Technology for maximum energy saving with no compromise on brightness, picture quality and optimised lamp life through. This is all thanks to innovative features such as SmartEco Mode; No Source Detected Mode; Auto Power Off; and 0.5W in Standby Mode.
