welcome to my unboxing and first look at a very exciting projector from Ben Q so
there's some shipping labels there's some stuff going on here they don't say
a whole lot other than that this is a 1080p projector and the other really
cool thing about it isn't even on here so this is the
w1070 and I wonder if when we open it up
we will find out what is so interesting and awesome and cool about this
projector so I know I don't normally talk about pricing but I should start
with a one interesting point and that is that this projector is aimed to be
priced around 1,000 bucks so 1080p
projector th000 bucks sounds pretty good sounds interesting right okay things are
about to get a lot more interesting and
if you guys have already read the description of the video then I guess the suspense isn't really ouch doing
anything for you this is a 1080p 3D
projector I'm going let that sink in for a minute 1080p 3D projector so it is
fully compatible with 1080p Blu-rays at 24 FPS it is also compatible with a new
standard called NVIDIA 3D TV play and
what that does here's our remote here's some baggies I can see this was a
resealed unit this is an eval unit so comes with like a Euro Asian power cord
here so I'll go ahead and put that in there comes with a VGA cable of all
things come on Ben Q should come with an HDMI cable especially because this
projector has multiple HDMI inputs so
right Blu-ray movies also compatible with games so
NVIDIA has an extra driver that you can buy as an add-on that makes this thing
fully capable of supporting their 3D Vision capable game titles so let's take
a close look at the projector itself so
let's start with the remote the remote's fairly straightforward Affair this is
pretty much what you'd come to expect so it's got your power your menu navigation
your Source selection your smar Eco Smart Eco is cool because it does a few
different things to help you save power and help you keep your bulb life lasting
longer so when the there is no Source detected it'll automatically turn it on
which is very very cool it also allows you to automatically save power with
certain cool features like when you pause the movie it'll just turn it
yourself on and you can save about 70% of your bulb power which is very very
neat digital Zoom brightness contrast color tint 3D settings 3D invert test
freeze mute okay various stuff like that
now the projector itself so here is the lens cover which you're going to want to
go ahead and put like that it has active cooling like most DP projectors do
there's your infrared receiver for the remote and then this guy right here is
just your little adjust guy so it's going to have Auto Keystone which means
that even if you're pointing it up at an angle to your wall you don't have to
worry about it ending up with you know a trap or a yeah I think trapezoid shaped
image or anything like that you just go ahead and adjust it to whatever angle
you want it at more ventilation holes here on the side it actually kind of
looks like an Alienware computer on the side with these uh with this pattern
here and then on the other side more ventilation there as well on the back we
find a whole bunch of different input so we've got audio in and out it does have
built-in speakers but as you've come to expect from projector speakers they're
nothing special it has um component in it has your your
standard RCA in it's got S Video in VGA
seral as well as a 12volt trigger mini
USB and two HDMI ports AC power in is
here and your Kensington lock is here overall build quality feels pretty good
for like a what is you know a fairly low price point projector in spite of the
very cool features it has oh yeah it's got one other thing here so you can adjust the uh the way the project ctor
sits with this foot here as well as this
one right here this one is fixed though so you do all of your adjustments just
like that to make sure the image is level and all that good stuff here we
have a couple of different things so number one is your focus there's your focus wheel right there number two is
your Zoom so you can zoom the image a little bit number three check that out
lens shift considering that this is a again a th000 projector lens shift is a
pretty cool thing to see so that allows you to actually not just sort of adjust
the angles like this and point it up and down but it allows you to use the Optics
built into the projector to actually move the image up and down that's
high-end Optics stuff considering again the price point that we're seeing all
your menu navigation buttons that were on the remote are duplicated here as
well as your power button now this is kind of interesting because they've
covered this up for some reason but uh this is one of the main selling points
of the monitor is the 3D gaming support
so give me a second get this
off so presumably there must be a reason that that's covered up but I'm it's kind
of a shame it says NVIDIA 3D Vision ready on that sticker but maybe what
they mean is NVIDIA's 3D TV play so
again that's with that other driver and it supports a lot of different 3D modes
so whether it's from a Blu-ray player or whether it's from a graphics card you
can do 720p 60 HZ in 3D over HDMI you
can actually use some of the other connectors for 3D including VGA but you
won't get the same kind of resolution the same kind of quality as you with HDMI and given that HDMI cables cost
nothing these days and basically use HDMI um and then at 10 ADP you get up to
24 FPS and
uh oh yeah I should explain a little bit more about the Eco modes that it
includes so not only does it dim the light when you're not doing anything or
when the image isn't moving it seems like it's paused or whatever else but it also is able to dim the lights in darken
scenes which will actually give you some of that better 10,000 to1 contrast ratio
that it boasts as well as saving you power and the 2,000 Lumen brightness
actually allows it to project up to a 200 inch image which would be bigger
than the white screen behind me no problem so I'm going to try this guy out
as soon as I get a chance using either the included 3D glasses or well using
the included 3D glasses and the NVIDIA driver which is available as a 14-day
trial I will let you guys know how it goes I'm not expecting gaming to be the
best experience in the world at 24 FPS but I'm really excited to try it out
with a 3D movie at 1080P and then see
how the 720p 60fps gaming experience
goes because this could be the most
versatile projector that you can buy for
around 1,000 bucks now and I might be holding it in my hands I'm very excited
about it so the glasses are available as an add-on they're not actually that
expensive uh these are active shutter glasses and they're powered by batteries
which go around here okay they come with
batteries you just ripped those out thank you for checking out my unboxing
and first look at the w710 from Ben q and I hope you guys are as excited as me
about how this thing performs in 3D
